Took a fall off the bike yesterday and ruined my favourite jacket https://www.pactimo.com/en-uk/products/mens-packable-cycling-wind-jacket :frowning: The Divide, a lightweight jacket at just 125 grams for size medium, is your go-to for versatile weather protection and chilly mountain descents. Cra…

I wasn’t impressed with Shakedry. It still doesn’t breathe well enough for cardio, as there’s no convection inside. I have an Ornot Microclimate that’s great as a wind / wet roads jacket. I also have a MH Kor Preshell that’s an awesome drizzle / wind shell, but not bike cut. It’s a Pertex quantum …

I would recommend either the ShakeDry or the Ornot Microclimate…both have their drawbacks, though. The ShakeDry offers better water protection at the expense of some breathability. The Ornot has better breathability but doesn’t offer the same amount of water protection. Both roll up nicely when ne…

I was coming in here to recommend the Pactimo packable wind jacket… before noticing that’s the jacket you previously had. I guess this is +1 for rebuying the same jacket :man_shrugging:

[image] SeanHurley: I was coming in here to recommend the Pactimo packable wind jacket I did love that jacket. Might wait to see if they go on sale :crossed_fingers:

I was going to recommend the Ornot too, so I went to get a link, and the new models look different. Does anyone know if they’ve changed and if so, how? I love mine, but it’s the original model.

Castelli Silcker Pro :ok_hand:t3:

A lot depends on how you want to use it. There are a lot of great options now in terms of jackets. I have a couple of Shake Drys - the Gore one and also the Castelli. These are amazing in the rain. The Castelli has a longer tail, so good on wet road rides. As mentioned, they are also very packa…

I don’t have the jacket (yet) but I’m a fan of the Voler wind vests. Windblock front, breathable rear, lots of color choices, reasonable price. And, POCKETS. I use an USWE enough that I don’t want to deal with zippers or pass throughs or any of that, having 3 exterior pockets is a big win IMO.…

I’ve got a Santini rainproof jacket that worked impressively in a really nasty rainy day with tons of spray coming off the group’s wheels. It was an intense ride and I was relatively dry at the end. I haven’t needed to use it again since then but I think I can recommend it…

I’m still using my Fawesome gilet. Rolls up pretty small if it gets hotter than expected. If it’s going to be colder I add sleeves, if it’s going to be wetter I add a cheap soft shell outer layer.

I have this. Works great and can be compressed into its pocket to be slipped in a jersey packet. No complaints.
