Riding during wet weather is a fun challenge. The slippery, muddy and wet trails adding an extra challenge. But you need the right kit to keep riding comfortably. Enter the Women's Ranger 2.5L Water Jacket. Fox have used a 2.5-Layer waterproof fabric, with a waterproof rating of 10,000 millimetres and breathability of 3,000-grams, to keep you dry inside and out. Fox have also added a DWR finish, boosting protection against mud and water flicked up from those rain-soaked trails - rather than soaking in it simply beads on the surface before running off. Mountain biking is tough on your kit too, but the rip-stop fabric is as hardy as they come, brushing off knocks and scrapes from your typical mountain bike adventure. An over helmet hood renders even more protection in the foulest of weather, boosting comfort on the way up as well as all your runs back down. All this wet-weather protection doesn't come with a weight penalty though, the lightweight construction lets you pack up the Ranger Water Jacket quickly and easily should the sun break through the clouds. An MTB essential for changeable weather when you still want to get your shred on.
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.
The windproof protection of the Ranger Wind Jacket comes via its 50g Cordura™ Ripstop construction. While keeping off the bite of windchill on fast-flowing trails it’s also tough enough for the rough and tumble of mountain biking. You’ll also benefit from the extra protection afforded by a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish, preventing light rain and muddy splashes from soaking in. When you're on your bike, the MTB-specific fit allows you to react quickly to terrain changes without ever feeling restricted. Elastic cuffs and hem also provide a secure and comfortable fit. Zippered hand pockets add space for your essentials and the jacket is also packable into the left-hand pocket.
You’re not a mountain biker who’ll let rainclouds stop you from getting out and riding. Not a bit of it. And with the Youth Ranger 2.5L Water Jacket, you’ll be shredding in comfort even in the heaviest rain. Made from a waterproof fabric, rated to 10K water column, this is a jacket that is lightweight and yet incredibly protective. Fox have also added a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish to the mix, shrugging off mud and water, preventing them from soaking in. Fox also deploys their TruSeal technology with all seams sealed to prevent water from seeping in over the course of a long ride. The helmet-compatible hood is also a bonus, perfect for pulling up during the very heaviest downpours. While rain is kept out, excellent breathability also prevents sweat vapour from building up on the inside, ensuring comfort during hard-charging bike rides. A drawcord at the hem lets you cinch in the fit and seal out the elements while elastic cuffs give a flexible and comfortable fit. There are also two zipped hand pockets, just right for stashing away essentials you want easy access to.
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.
Cold weather needn't resign you to an indoor training session, with the warmth of the women's Chrono Pro Alpha® Cycling Jacket you can enjoy cold, crisp days on the bike. The warmth is all down to the combination of Polartec® Windbloc® fabric and Polartec® Alpha® Direct Active insulation. Windbloc prevents cold winds penetrating the jacket and robbing body heat while the Alpha® Direct Active insulation is remarkably light but incredibly good at retaining warmth, trapping a layer of air to protect you from the icy tentacles of cold weather. A Durable Water Repellant (DWR) coating provides extra protection on dull and damp days too. Cold days tend to be more demanding on energy levels and so the female-specific form-fitting silhouette prevents excess fabric catching the wind and so saving those energy-stores for the last few miles to home. Speaking of energy, the Expandable Storage Pockets provide ample space for gels and bars to keep you fuelled and for long days that finish in the dark the 3M Reflective highlights add visual pop to enhance visibility when the daylight fades.
Why consign yourself to the indoors when you can enjoy crisp winter cycling, nicely insulated against the cold with the C3 Gore-Tex® Infinium Thermo Jacket. Fleece-backed Gore-Tex® Infinium provides exceptional windproof protection and insulation, preventing body heat from being robbed. And it’s remarkably breathable too so if you up the pace you won’t be overwhelmed with sweat. Water resistance also means light rain won’t have you riding for cover or reaching for another layer. The form-fitting cut sits perfectly when you’re in your riding position. And with less flapping, there’s more energy saved for those last few miles of your ride. Reflective GORE® logos boost visibility as shorter winter days draw in and night-time falls earlier. Leave the turbo trainer and get cycling outdoors.
Made from a cosy and warm fleece-lined fabric, the C3 Thermo Jersey traps body heat to keep you insulated against the cold. On less cold days it makes a great outer layer, or you can use it as a mid-layer under an outer shell when winter really takes hold. The full-length front zip makes it easy to regulate airflow and body temperature too. The ‘Active’ fit gives you plenty of space to move and allows easy layering underneath too, letting you tailor warmth to your own liking. Logos are reflective for night-time visibility so after-dark adventures are doable. And with 3 rear pockets, there's plenty of space for winter cycling essentials such as an emergency cycling waterproof, spare tube and some energy bars. The C3 Thermo Jersey is a wardrobe essential for anyone riding in cool temperatures.
When the roads or trails are damp and the cold winds are blowing you'll really appreciate the windproof and water repellent qualities of the C3 Women's GWS Classic Jacket. However, it's not just in weather protection where the jacket scores - as we all know cycling builds up a sweat and so the GWS Classic also excels when it comes to breathability, leaving you feeling drier, warmer and more comfortable even on a steep climb or battling into a tough headwind. Quality shines through in the level of detail in the jacket too, a high collar with brushed inner face adds warmth and comfort, drawcords at the waist give you easy control of the fit and seam-free sides elevates freedom of movement to new heights. There's handy storage too, with zipped pockets providing easily accessible space for essentials and reflective details raise visibility as light levels drop. Classic by name, classic by nature, the C3 Women's GWS Classic Jacket is a great all-rounder for any cycling adventure.
Taking their incredibly popular 1985 Shakedry jacket and adding Polartec® Alpha® insulation, Gore have really raised the bar when it comes to protection from the cold and the rain when cycling. The GORE-TEX® Active with SHAKEDRY™ Product Technology means that weight is kept to a minimum thanks to the removal of face fabrics but waterproof performance is maintained. Not only is weight lessened the lack of extra face fabrics give the jacket an incredibly high rate of breathability so you'll never feel overwhelmed with sweat no matter how high the intensity of ride. The Polartec® Alpha® insulation is remarkably light but its warmth to weight ratio is outstanding, keeping your body heat trapped inside. Paired with the windproof Active fabric you get a system that prevents cold winds robbing you of vital warmth. The Tech Details Revolutionary Construction: The new Shakedry fabric technology eliminates the usual face fabric of standard waterproof garments, preventing absorption of water. You'll not experience the chilling effect that can result from a wetted out face fabric and the garment weight does not increase when riding in incessant rain. Incredible Breathability: An extremely breathable construction reduces sweat accumulation and speeds vapour transport so you remain the perfect temperature and comfortably dry inside. Exceptionally Lightweight and Great Packability: One of the lightest waterproof, windproof, breathable GORE-TEX® products available. The revolutionary material being used and the unique garment design ensures a low pack volume - you can take this jacket with you anywhere, anytime for total weather protection. Shake Dry Surface: Water simply beads on the surface without soaking in - a few quick shakes of the garment renders the surface dry and no wetting of the surface is allowed. It has to be seen to be believed! What's more this water repellency is permanent. No reproofing required for the life of the jacket.
If you’ve got some fast winter training to get done, it’s then the C5 Infinium Thermo Jacket comes into its own. In order to keep you both warm and sweat-free when cycling, Gore uses their exceptionally breathable and windproof Gore-Tex® Infinium technology. Bitter cold winds can’t get in, maintaining warmth, and yet as you put the power down, the high degree of breathability allows an easy escape route for sweat, preventing the discomfort of chills from cold sweat. Water-resistance also means light rain and short sharp showers are easily dealt with. And inside, the full fleece interior feels great against the skin and further enhances insulation against the cold. Hard training means plenty of energy expenditure but the C5 Infinium sits snugly to the body, ensuring you’re not wasting energy in battling a loose-fitting garment as you push hard on the pedals. The cycling-specific cut extends to the dropped tail, providing extra coverage when you’re in a riding position. A high collar keeps cold breezes off the chest and elastic wrist covers give a smooth seal against the elements. Reflective logos and panels make this jacket perfect for those determined to keep road cycling even on cold, dark winter days.
The C5 Thermo Jersey strikes just the right balance between warmth and breathability, keeping you comfortable when cycling in the colder months of the year. Thermal fabric is used around the torso to lock in body heat and insulate your core from the cold, while lighter material is deployed in the lower part of the sleeves and to the side panels. The cut of the jersey is slim and aero, ensuring energy is saved for those final few miles and not wasted on overcoming flapping fabric. The cycling-specific cut also extends to the drop tail, keeping you covered when on the drops and the ergonomically shaped collar also fits just right when you’re in your cycling position. Practical features are all present too. 3 rear pockets provide space for your energy bars and gels and an emergency rain jacket. And a mesh insert prevents sagging when you’ve loaded them up for a long ride. A zipped pocket makes space for keys and money too. And for shorter days, Gore ensures you're visible with black reflective transfers catching the eye when caught under streetlamps and in headlights.
