Waterproof cycling jackets

Waterproof cycling jackets for men and women

Depending on the area of use, waterproof cycling jackets differ for everyday use, cycling tours and cycling holidays, as well as for road cycling and mountain biking. Road cyclists mostly prefer cycling jackets that are cut close to the body. Due to the higher breathability, they often turn to water-repellent cycling jackets or jackets with Windstopper and weatherproof DWR treatment.

For long cycling tours on a mountain bike, touring bike or e-bike, durable hardshell jackets are more suitable. Waterproof laminates with a breathable Gore-Tex membrane or other comparable products provide very good weather protection in rain, snow and wind. In combination with matching waterproof trousers, cyclists can be completely protected from bad weather.

Waterproof cycling jackets with functional details

A waterproof jacket's helmet-compatible hood is designed to be pulled over your head protection gear. This keeps your head dry and also protects the cycling helmet from the problems associated with moisture. Many cycling jackets from Vaude or Endura are cut slightly longer at the back, so that they ergonomically adapt to your seating position on the saddle and leave nothing exposed at your lower back.

Convenient adjustment options at the hem and sleeve ends ensure optimal and individualised adaptability in your use of a waterproof cycling jacket. Additional ventilation openings, mesh panels and water-repellent underarm zips allow air to circulate unhindered, even on strenuous climbs.

Lightweight cycling jackets with a small pack size

Lightweight waterproof cycling jackets that can be folded away compactly are particularly practical for everyday use and on cycling tours. They are extremely light and always find a place in your cycling backpack or pannier bags. In changeable weather, these ultra-light cycling jackets are ready for use immediately.

Many manufacturers equip their waterproof cycling jackets with highly visible reflectors and offer them in a selection of eye-catching colours. This makes it easier to see cyclists in the rain and in poor light conditions.
