Nothing - and I really mean nothing - gets my cyclist friends more excited than when I tell them I’ve got a new winter cycling jacket.
Convinced we’re going to find the Next Best Thing that will change our riding lives forever, every test garment is carefully picked over in meticulous detail by my cyclist pals. Especially in the women’s jacket fields, where a good jackets are few and far between, over the years, I’ve honed quite the sense for a quality wrapper. For it to land a spot in the best cycling jackets list I am looking for exceptional fit, taped seams, water and wind proofing, a solid zip, flattering over layers, big pockets, and quality thermal regulation; I don’t ask for much.
