Madison’s Flux Super Light stands out for feeling more like your favourite hoody than a full-on winter waterproof. This makes it a great spring/autumn transition jacket, because it allows you to kid yourself that you’re still only in a summer jersey. The key to its comfort is the combination of lightweight stretch fabric and a good cut. This goes long at the back and stays in place thanks to a drawcord hem, but isn’t oversized through the body. Handily, it scrunches up small enough that you can carry it as a back-up layer. The hood goes over a helmet easily and stays right in place, moving with you without impeding your field of vision. We tended to use this like a wet-weather jersey on damp but warmer rides, and for that you do need the extra ventilation that the pit perforations and vents provide.
