The mid-weight Transition 2 Jacket takes its name from those seasons of the year that sandwich winter, namely autumn and spring, the transitional seasons. It's perfectly suited to those cooler days on the bike when you want to prevent getting cold but at the same time don't want to overheat. If you're familiar with the pro-performance Castelli Gabba jacket you'll recognise the same fabric is also used here - Gore-Tex INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER® X-Mid across the front and sleeves. This provides complete protection from cold winds, locking in body heat. It's also extremely breathable and this perfectly complements the highly breathable fleece back panels. Together they keep you sweat-free when you're putting in higher intensity efforts or temperatures rise over the course of your ride. Castelli gives the Transition 2 a more generous cut than their more race-orientated kit, making it easier to wear and layer up with. Cycling-specific details are also all present and correct. Three rear pockets allow easy access to all your essentials and reflective details keep you visible if you ride in low light or darkness. A YKK® Vislon® zipper slide easily for easy opening and closing and silicone gripper elastic keeps the jacket snugly in place. The Transition 2 Jacket makes it easy to dress for cool-weather cycling, as summer turns to autumn or as winter gives way to spring.
Training in wet and windy weather is as much about keeping sweat-free as it is about keeping the elements out. In both respects, the Chrono Pro Neoshell® Jacket really excels and this is thanks to the remarkable Polartec® Neoshell® fabric. Both windproof and waterproof, this fabric won't let you down when the rain begins to fall but thanks to the air-permeable membrane it lets your skin breathe, leaving you dry and comfortable even during the hardest of cycling efforts. With waterproof zippers and a fully seam-sealed construction water is unable to seep inside either. Tailored with a close to the body fit, the Chrono Pro is also efficient through the air, ensuring no energy is wasted on your long autumn and winter rides. As shorter days and darker mornings and evenings arrive you'll also benefit from the genuine 3M Reflective highlights, enhancing visibility as darkness falls while a chest pocket provides convenient storage.
Utilising a Point ZeroH20 fabric composition and minimal taped seams, the OMM Halo Jacket is an ideal layer of protection against harsh and extreme conditions. Super lightweight and made from a 2.5 layer static fabric with a hydrostatic head of 10,000mm and a vapour transfer rate of 10,000m/24/hrs. (Hydrostatic Head - The measure of how water resistant your tent material is. It measures how tall a column of water the fabric can hold before water starts to seep through the weave.) Further function comes in the form of OMM's award winning closures and hood design. The peaked hood and full length YKK® Aquaguard zip helps to provide protection against the elements, while the dynamic droptail and extended cuff and thumb slot design provide extra coverage when running. Super packable, this 105g mountain shell is designed for mixed conditions and can be quickly pulled on or packed away with ease. Finished with reflective detailing that will help keep you visible in low light conditions.
Whether you're a regular bike commuter or ride a bike to explore your local streets and enjoy the fitness and fresh air that comes from cycling, the Women's Urban Luminite EN1150 Waterproof Jacket keeps you dry and visible when conditions are dark and wet. The 2.5-layer waterproof fabric, rated at 10,000mm, prevents heavy rain from getting inside. Fully taped seams also prevent water seeping inside and a durable water repellent finish sees raindrops bead on the surface rather than soak in. But it's not just excellent waterproofing that will keep you comfortable. The excellent breathability keeps you as sweat-free as possible when you're riding. And should you need to increase ventilation and regulate temperature, underarm vents make it quick and easy. When it comes to riding in darkness, large reflective panels make you easy to pick out on the road, lighting up when caught in vehicle headlamps. In low light the fluorescent material also provides contrast, making you more visible as you make your way through city streets.
If you’re out and about and weather conditions are cool, damp and changeable, the Women’s Ranger Fire Jacket is just what you need. On the inside, soft brushed fleece does a brilliant job of keeping you cosily protected against cool temperatures. Meanwhile, a durable outer layer, featuring a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish, is tough enough for any MTB trail action. And between the outer and inner sits a highly waterproof and breathable membrane, keeping you dry and sweat-free when the weather is wet, but you’re still determined to ride hard. In terms of the fit, you’ll be pleased to find it’s honed for on-the-bike mobility. There’s plenty of space to move and a drop-tail design adds coverage when you’re getting an aggressive ride-attack position. And with zippered pockets, there's space to stash essentials conveniently close to hand.
When you're on your mountain bike you'll constantly be gaining and losing altitude, exposed to windblown hilltops and the thrills of fast descents to the valley floor. And with it face frequent changes in the weather and riding conditions. But thanks to the windproof Women's Wind Jacket you've always got an extra layer of protection to pull on. Five Ten have made the jacket in WIND.RDY material with wind-resistant technology that defies the chilling effects of windchill and low-hanging clouds filled with drizzle. It's a super-light fabric too, making it easy to roll up and stash away - in fact, it packs up neatly into its own chest pocket. The elasticated hood slips under mountain bike helmets too, adding an extra level of protection when needed. The Women's Wind Jacket is made for a life lived off-road, with abrasion-resistant panels across the shoulders, hood and lower back. Any pulls, snags and brushes with trailside trees and bushes are no problem. Zipped chest and back pockets make space for small items - ideal for stowing away keys or a lift pass ticket.
Autumn and spring are fabulous times to ride a bike. But the weather is so hard to predict and achieving the right balance of warmth, breathability and weather protection is difficult - you'll often end up too warm or too cold. However, the Beta ROS Jacket makes it easy. Using a mix of lightweight and stretchy fabrics it cuts out most of the wind, remains extremely breathable and should rain strike offers surprisingly good water protection. Facing into the weather, the front panels and upper sleeves use Polartec® NeoShell®. This is windproof, waterproof and breathable, striking the balance you need when the weather changes from good to bad from one moment to the next. Across the back Castelli use their Nano Flex Light woven fabric. This prioritises breathability, keeping you dry and sweat-free when you're pushing hard on the pedals or the day warms up. It is also windproof and splashproof, for all-ride comfort. Castelli tailors the Beta with a race-bred fit, perfect for fast autumn and spring rides and smooth efficiency when tackling rolling terrain. No flapping fabric to sap energy, leaving more watts for the job at hand, riding and training hard. When it comes to features there's nothing unnecessary either. Three rear pockets offer space for nutrition and spares, a reflective panel keeps visibility up during evening training sessions and a full-length front zip makes it quick and easy to control ventilation.

With a focus on performance and style, these pieces give you warmth and comfort alongside exclusive designs that stand out amongst the rest. Motivation Booster Motivation to ride can be hard to muster when the weather is bitterly cold and windy. However, the Hollywood Windstopper Cycling Jacket ensures you'll have an extra impetus to get out and ride. Thanks to the GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER® X-Fast cold winds are kept out and the heat you generate is retained inside. Cosiness is guaranteed.

INFINIUM™ is also lightly water-resistant, letting you ride through drizzle and light rain showers without having to immediately reach for your hardshell rain jacket. Streamlined Cycling The stretch fit and anatomical form-cut of the Hollywood jacket ensure a smooth fit when you're cycling. This saves your precious energy for those last few miles of a winter base-building ride (and hopefully lets you avoid the dreaded bonk).

And with its alluring print, it's an attention grabber on a dull winter's day too.
The Gold Shield Jacket is a streamlined and protective jacket that excels across all the seasons. This is made possible via the use of a Storm Shield fabric called Misurina. This 4-way stretch fabric allows Orro to maintain a fitted, aerodynamic fit, just like a race jersey, ensuring no wasted energy when battling inclement conditions. When the weather turns wet, its 10,000mm water-resistance ensures you can ride far longer before you need to pull on a dedicated rain jacket - perfect for light rain and sudden showers. Orro have chosen to keep the jacket fleece free, apart from the cosy collar. This optimises breathability while allowing you to tailor the insulation to suit your own needs via your base layer choice. And come milder temperatures, the excellent breathability will prevent you from being drenched in sweat as you push hard on the pedals. Under the arms and down the sides of the jacket is a more flexible material for enhanced transpiration and a great fit. On those darker mornings and evenings of winter, reflective details will keep you more visible as you get your training done. Three rear pockets make space for all your cycling essentials and a waterproof centre pocket keeps a phone or other valuables safe and sound.
