Road Bike Jackets

Optimal weather protection with high-quality road bike jackets

Road bike jackets have one job: protecting cyclists on their road bikes against cold, headwind and rain. Extremely lightweight, cycling jackets for road cyclists should also be very breathable. To ensure optimal mobility while cycling, a good road bike jacket needs to feature a perfect ergonomic and aerodynamic shape.

Made from elastic synthetic fibre, road bike wear is elastic, robust and breathable. Depending on their design and recommended use, road bike jackets by Gore Bike Wear, Castelli or Pearl Izumi are either windproof, water-repellent or waterproof. These characteristics aside, all road bike jackets are lightweight and easy to stow away.

Waterproof windproof jacket or weatherproof waterproof jacket

Road cyclists opt for different road bike jackets depending on the training conditions. On cool and dry days, light windbreakers or windstopper jackets make your outfit perfect. While ensuring optimal breathability, they provide you with an extensive protection against heat loss and headwind. Similar wind protection is provided by road bike vests. Usually treated to protect against wet, windproof jackets for cyclists also feature water- and dirt-repellent properties. For protection against heavy rain, road cyclists should rather opt for waterproof models.

Similar to outdoor jackets, waterproof road bike jackets are made of waterproof yet vapour-permeable membranes such as Gore-Tex. Combined with a functional road bike jersey, a Gore-Tex cycling jacket ensures extensive weather protection and outstanding breathability. While your road bike trousers and shoes are still getting wet, your upper body will be perfectly protected against wet and heat loss. Besides featuring a minimal pack size, waterproof jackets are also real lightweights. Comfortable to wear even on sweaty skin, they ensure maximal comfort when training on your road bike.
