Light cycling jackets
Light cycling jackets are designed to provide protection for cyclists while riding in inclement weather. These jackets are typically made from light and breathable materials that ensure comfort and mobility while cycling. They often feature reflective elements or high-vis colours to increase visibility and promote road safety.
What to consider when choosing a light cycling jacket?
Here is a quick guide to what to consider when choosing a light cycling jacket:
Protection type
Consider what type of protection you want from a light cycling jacket
- Against the wind – pick a windproof material.
- Against drizzle – pick a water-repellent finish.
- A light cycling jacket is not intended for heavy rain.
Breathability
- Important for climbs and intense riding.
- Look for a jacket with ventilation panels (e.g. on the back).
Fit and comfort
- Tight-fitting cut (must not flap in the wind).
- Extended back and elastic hems for better coverage.
Compactness and weight
- Ultralight (approx. 100 g).
- It can be folded into a pocket - ideal for changeable weather.
Look for a jacket that protects you from the wind, is light, breathable, and fits well. Suitable for spring, autumn, or cool mornings.
Is a light cycling jacket also suitable for rain?
Yes, it can handle light drizzle – if it has a water-repellent finish. For heavy or prolonged rain, a full-fledged waterproof jacket is more suitable.
Is the jacket breathable? Will I sweat in it?
Quality light jackets have ventilation zones or breathable panels (e.g. on the back). They help wick away moisture and prevent overheating.
What should a light cycling jacket be made of?
The most commonly used material is light nylon or polyester with a windproof and water-repellent finish. Some models also have membranes (e.g. Windstopper) for increased comfort.
