Whether you’re heading out to build base mileage or hit intervals, the slim fit ensures a streamlined fit and little wasted energy when riding. And speaking of energy, the rear pockets provide space for all your energy bars and gels plus somewhere to stash a hardshell jacket for heavier periods of rain. A double collar provides a more comfortable and snug fit, keeping the elements out. Sportful temperature guide Sportful now split the temperature range of their garments into two zones. Each zone signifies a different temperature range depending on whether you’re riding at a slower, steadier pace or more intense, faster pace. This means, for example, a jacket can be rated down to 0 degrees C if your cycling effort is at a harder and more intense pace where body heat is quickly built up. However, the same jacket will be better suited to slightly warmer temperatures, say 5 degrees C, when your efforts are slower and steadier where you’re simply not generating as much body heat.
