5 Best Waterproof Cycling Jackets
Lockdown, climate change, strava, government cycling incentives, you name it, there are a multitude of reasons why more of you are cycling to work, for fun and for sport, and more importantly during the windy, wet Autumn and Winter season. Riding at this time of year needs a little more planning than during the spring and summer especially, particularly in areas of visibility, lights, rain protection, wind protection, insulation and road traction. One of the areas that gets very exposed to the wind, rain, and chill is your torso and that is why a lightweight waterproof cycling jacket is an essential purchase for the winter months. But, before you purchase a cycling jacket there are several factors you should consider to help.
What are the top things to consider when buying a waterproof cycling jacket?
- Hi Vis Waterproof Cycling Jacket. During the winter months a lot of your riding will be occuring in low light or in the dark and is therefore important that you have a hi vis waterproof cycling jacket with reflective strips, sections or fulll surface area to ensures motorists can see you at all times.
- Breathability. As you know, get hot inside a rain jacket, because the waterproof nature of the fabric can lead to a lack of breathability. A boil in the bag experience can follow. Choose a cycling jacket that is ideally breathable, (e.g. allows perspiration evaporated by the body) to escape (diffuse) to the outside of the coat in a process termed moisture vapour transmission.
- Ventilation Zips. Also, consider jackets have cooling vents which can be unzipped to allow cool air in evaporated perspiration to escape.
- Waterproof Ratings. Consider how you intend to use the jacket and choose a coat with a waterproof rating to suit your needs. This is the waterproof rating system used by mountainwarehouse.
- Lightweight waterproof cycling jacket. The important qualities of a good lightweight waterproof cycling jacket is that is has minimal insulation and lining and can be easily stuffed in your back pocket.
