Winter cycling jackets - MTBIKER.shop

A bike is not the only important part when it comes to comfortable enjoyment of the ride. With suitable clothing and equipment, you can fundamentally affect your experience. When temperature drops, you can rely on a winter jacket, which forms a protective layer not only against the cold, but also against wind and water. It is not true that the thicker the material, the better, the cyclist's body also needs to “breathe” during performance so as not to sweat excessively. That is why today's winter jackets made of modern materials are surprisingly thin and comfortable to move in, you can also use such a high-quality winter jacket for cycling for other winter activities.

What to consider when choosing a winter cycling jacket?

When choosing a winter cycling jacket, consider these specific features:

Material

Softshell/ Windstopper: protects against wind and partially water, great for dry winters.
Hardshell/ membrane (e.g. GORE-TEX, eVent): waterproof, suitable for rain and snow.
Insulated panels: often in the form of thin fleece, synthetics, or merino wool inside the jacket.

Cut and design

Extended back: protects the lower back and buttocks from the cold and dirt from the bike.
Anatomical cut: follows the figure in the riding position, does not restrict movement.
Elastic cuffs and collar: prevent wind from entering.
Reflective elements: for better visibility on dark winter days.

Functional details

Ventilation holes (e.g. under the armpits): for temperature regulation during intense riding.
Windproof zippers: minimize the penetration of cold.
Internal/external pockets: for small items, food or mobile phone.

What are the benefits of a winter cycling jacket?

Thermal comfort: Protects against cold and loss of body heat, even at sub-zero temperatures.
Weather protection: Windproof and water-repellent layers keep you dry and warm.
Breathability: Wicks sweat and moisture outwards, reducing the risk of catching a cold when sweating.
Freedom of movement: Elastic materials and an ergonomic cut allow natural movement while pedalling.
Universal use: Can also be worn for hiking, running or daily commute.

As with previous purchases, the saleswoman was helpful this time too. The store offers the possibility to measure the distance between the sitting bones on an electronically equipped seat and thus determine the correct saddle size. I used this free service for customers, and the employee attended to me without grumbling.

As always satisfied.

There was/is an error in the description of one of the products, which caused me difficulties. A part necessary for the correct assembly of the device was missing, which essentially shouldn't have been there from the factory, but in the product's properties on the website, it is advertised as included in the package. After an agreement with technical support, we resolved this issue; they were very accommodating and fully met my requirements. I can definitely only rate positively, I recommend this store.
