Mammut Ultimate Light SO Hooded jacket

This is a non-bike-specific style but it’s so beautifully made and fits so well, both on and off the bike, that its versatility becomes the point and makes the price easier to stomach. Made from Gore Windstopper with DWR, it’s windproof, highly water resistant and breathable. We’ve been riding in it with just a baselayer for cold starts and will add a midlayer once things get properly cold. Its understated, stylish looks belie the attention to detail. It has an under-helmet hood, ample pockets (two hand-warmers plus one on the chest), easily grabbable zip-pulls and generous pit-zips to regulate temperature. Thin and light enough to pack into its own pocket, the fabric also has stretch to enhance movement and comfort. The thumb loops are a nice touch, but never quite work on the bike.
