This casual hoody-style jacket has slouchy appeal off the bike, but enough functional detail that it won’t let you down on it. The DWR-coated, windproof softshell fabric has four-way stretch, which enhances the easy cut so that you get good freedom of movement on the bike, and the relaxed fit means you can easily layer up underneath. It’s reasonably waterproof and breathes well but isn’t super-warm. The hood is especially good – it’s generous enough to go over a helmet and easy to adjust with one hand for a non-restrictive fit. There’s a single chest pocket and two hand-warmer pockets, one with a pull-out lens wipe. Other features include a slight dropped hem and Velcro adjusters on the cuffs. Our main gripe is that the sleeves come up a bit short when you’re in the riding position.
