Storm - Men's Waterproof Cycle Jacket
Storm - Men's Waterproof Cycle Jacket - 3 Layer Construction
As the name implies, our heavy hitting rain jacket is made to get you through the storm warm, safe and dry. This incredibly well designed jacket offers great waterproof protection while remaining highly breathability and flexible, and that's no mean feat. The Storm does away with the bulk and brand premium of other jackets, giving you the features you need without the unnecessary bulky cost. We don't do loose flappy jackets, ours has 12% spandex to stretch with you rather than create huge wind resistance (we want the effort to go into the pedals!). We tested this jacket for over a year in all sorts of conditions before we went into production.
For the scientists or the technical minded that's 10,000mm H20 waterproof protection and 10,000 GR 24Hrs in breathability. The 3 layer fabric gives you exactly the protection you need. The first layer is a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) top coat so water beads off the surface. Then there’s the all-important waterproof middle layer, and finally an inner coating to protect the waterproof middle layer from wear and to stop the pores in the waterproof layer getting clogged and to remain breathable. The inner layer also allows the middle waterproof layer to be lighter in weight, reducing the jackets bulk relative to other jackets. To compliment all this we fully seam sealed all the fabirc joins and added full length YKK waterproof zips, while the back storage pocket is fully waterproof to ensure your belongings remain safe and dry. Don’t be fooled by the black logos and reflective marks on the back, they glow like possum eyes at night. Rounding off the package we added a drop-tail to ensure your toosh remains protected from road water spray.
No hood? No, we've ridden stage races for years and from our experience the hood just gets in the way, it's bulky, fills with water and rubs against your helmet.

Care
- Line dry your garment or tumble dry it on a warm, gentle cycle.
- Once it is dry, tumble dry your garment for 20 minutes on low to medium heat to reactivate the durable water-repellent (DWR) treatment on the outer fabric.
- If unable to tumble dry, iron the dry garment on the gentle setting (warm, no steam) by placing a towel or cloth between the garment and the iron.
- This will help reactivate the DWR treatment on your garment’s outer fabric.
Sizing
Your height and weight are the best guide to your size for cycling tops. The upper end of the range will be tighter and the lower of the range looser. Remember tops are mostly slim fit and are designed that way to take moisture away from the body, if you prefer a looser fit go up one size.
Please contact us if you're unsure about sizing in any way.
If you're unhappy with the size please return to us and we'll cover the cost to reship the correct size or style.

★★★★★Storm Hi Vis Rain JacketReally great tough jacket, this has done many consecutive months in Irish weather, getting covered in Cow poo and everything else these roads have to offer and it always comes out on top. Very waterproof and has a double ended Zip which makes life so much easier on long days. Its not a tight fit, so if you want something aero, talk to them first.
