Transitional jackets

Transitional cycling jackets from the bazaar are a great opportunity to supplement your wardrobe with functional clothing for spring and autumn weather at a fraction of the price of a new piece. Second-hand, you can easily get quality models from renowned cycling brands such as Castelli, Craft or Silvini.
What to focus on when choosing a transitional jacket from the bazaar:

• Wind protection and breathability: For variable conditions, jackets with a windproof front panel (Windstopper, softshell) and a breathable back are ideal, which maintain optimal body temperature while pedaling.
• Cut and ergonomics of the sitting position: Cycling jackets have an extended back part so that your lower back is not exposed to the wind, and a tighter cut adapted to the position behind the handlebars. Before buying, check the chest dimensions and sleeve length.
• Practical details and pockets: Focus on the presence of back pockets for small items, a full-length zipper for easy ventilation regulation or reflective elements for safety at dusk.
• Packability and weight: Lighter transitional jackets can be easily packed into a jersey pocket, which you will appreciate when it unexpectedly warms up during the ride.
