Sweet Protection Delirious jacket


Our mantra of ‘great fabric, focused design’ is perfectly illustrated by the Delirious. It’s made from Gore-Tex Active Shell, which we’ve found to give a high level of breathability even on milder days. Sweet Protection have worked the fabric into an unfussy style with one pocket and a killer fit, with an extra-long drop to the back that’s kept in place with a drawcord hem. Together with an adjustable collar and cuffs, this means you feel properly sealed in – but please note that there’s no hood. The cut looks slimmer than it is, meaning that it accommodates winter layers well but doesn’t feel too baggy when worn over just a single baselayer. This is a deceptively simple jacket but one that hits the spot in terms of cut and waterproof performance on the bike, as you’d expect given the price tag.
