Vaude Posta IV jacket


VAUDE ARE COMMITTED to using sustainable and environmentallyfriendly materials, and the Posta has the ‘bluesign’ seal of approval as well as bearing the German brand’s own Green Shape and Eco Finish badges, meaning that the water-repellant finish is made without fluorocarbons.

It’s a jacket designed to keep you warm, but one that copes well when you turn the intensity up. The substantial fabric is brushed inside and a high collar seals the warmth in. With super-grippy zip pulls and pit zips, it’s easy to vent too.

We liked the cut of this jacket a lot. The sleeves are shaped to sit in place when on the bike and there’s extra length at the back.With two zipped rear pockets and a chest pocket, the Posta is one practical jacket for long, cold days on the trail.

Price 180$
