It keeps you warm thanks to a Polartec® Alpha® insulation and is fully equipped with two zippered side pockets and a hood. W.L Gore, the makers of ubiquitous Gore-Tex products most often associated with high performance waterproof breathable characteristics, have in the last couple of years, taken their membrane and the laminated fabric covering, the essence of what makes Gore-Tex Gore-Tex, in a new direction with their Infinium product line. The jacket manages to prevent that clammy feeling thanks to vents under the arms, on the shoulders, and across the back. If you’re commuting and cycling in a more upright position, you probably want a relaxed cut that can go over a couple of other layers easily.The Le Col Womens Hors Categorie Jacket II is more than just a windproof, featuring Polartec's Power Shield fabric that offers supreme protection against wind and rain. We continue to be bold, innovative and determined, always striving to push the bounds of human performance.

Measure around the narrowest part (below the bottom rib and above the hip bones), keeping the tape horizontal. The highly functional technology used in INFINIUM products enhances your performance when waterproof protection is not so important, but you want lightweight insulation layers, breathable fabrics or close-fitting and lightweight garments that protect you from wind or light moisture and are particularly breathable. The Endura FS260-Pro Adrenaline Race Cape 2 is a top-performing packable shell for protection against the elements.If you’re after a fully windproof cycling jacket that’s also completely breathable, reviewer Emma was blown away by the extremely light and packable women's Assos UMA GT Wind Jacket.

With a pocket on each side, you can carry any essentials, and the security pocket inside the right side keeps more valuable items safe. Despite this, the high stretch means you can still fit thin layers underneath if needed for colder rides, though where it excels most is blustery summer days. The rate of convection depends on both the difference in temperature between the surface and the fluid surrounding it and the velocity of that fluid with respect to the surface. It would be an ideal piece for a marathon be it ski or run in cold conditions or those long marathon prep runs in winter. The Santini Pure Dye Wind Jacket is thicker than your average windproof, and has decent water-resistant too.Because we want to equip you with the gear you need to be your best out there, and to enjoy every second of it too, whatever winter throws at you. While it's not windproof throughout the whole garment, the Everyday jacket from Gorewear has Windstopper material on the front and sleeves to keep you toasty enough in most conditions for casual riding or commuting. The result is an unbelievably light, soft-to-the-touch, quiet and stylish jacket that keeps runners warm and dry – even if they sweat a lot, or when the weather gets grim. I have run on days that have started off in the 20’s or 30’s, yet climbed into the 50’s so above 10 C where I was worried that I would overheat, but surprisingly that was not the case. The Assos Mille GT Wind Jacket is super compact in your pocket and more closely fitted than most wind/emergency jackets once on.

There are quite a few options on the market and in general, how much you pay will dictate the quality of the fabric.

The Infinium, while it looks crinkly, is soft, supple and quiet, easily passing my pre dawn, pre run 0 decibel sneak around the house criteria. The translucent fluro colourway with reflective detailing does allow for a race number to be seen underneath though, and it easily compresses into a pocket for storage. The layout of the stretch material along with the Infinium provides freedom for a great range of motion when swinging arms running or I imagine the reachy pole action when XC skiing.
