Introduction to Jackets - Cycle Windproof

Weather conditions, particularly in the UK, are rarely the same from one hour to the next, so often wearing a heavier waterproof jacket when it's just a bit windy isn't always going to be ideal. That's why it always pays to have a selection of jackets in the cyclists wardrobe - so you're only wearing the protection you need - you'll be more comfortable and able to enjoy the ride. So, owning a windproof jacket is important. It's worth also noting that most modern windproofs, while not technically waterproof - in the microporous membrane Gore-Tex and Event - sense of the word will keep a short shower from getting you too wet. This added functionality makes the lighter windproofs a popular choice for riders and commuters where their lighter weight and lower bulk than most pure waterproofs makes them an ideal choice. Windproof jackets also come in a wide range of weights, everything from gossamer lightweights that will stuff into the smallest pockets right up to heavyweight thermal training jackets and everything in between. The level of technical detailing on windproofs will also vary as some rider will be looking for lots of pockets while others may want something more stripped down and straightforward. As usual, we at Wiggle have the best selection for you to chose from.

Entry level:

The entry level windproof jackets are better than ever, with a bunch of other features to sweeten the deal. As venting windproof jackets is always an issue, you can expect to find pit and two way zips which are, more often than not, also water resistant with rubberised weather baffles. Remember sleeveless gilets too - windproofs don't always have to have sleeves.

Intermediate:

Much like waterproof jackets, the fit and cycling specific functionality of windproofs improves as the relative cost increases. Many jackets are more tailored with a fitted, ergonomic silhouette. These jackets may also offer some thermal benefits as well as purely blocking cold air - as such they're often the ideal outer layer when it's cold but not actually windy.

Performance:

Buying a luxury level windproof jacket you'll naturally have top spec windproof fabrics, but you'll also be able to choose from a wide range of added technology, clever stuff like heat reflective linings to retain warmth, integrated zip off arms, two-way zips and highly ergonomic cuts that are cycling specific with drop tails, contoured neck and hems.
