Wind, rain and cold are the natural enemies of every cyclist. How to keep dry and warm? With a bike jacket by Endura.
It’s that time of the year again: what should I give as a Christmas present? Has your dad just started biking? Maybe your best friend could do with new cycling equipment? Here are three gift ideas for bike fans who need to resist wind, rain and cold.
Wind protection: Endura FS260-Pro Adrenaline Race Cape II
I wear this ultra-light and packable windbreaker in spring and autumn to protect myself from the wind. It’s windproof and water-repellent. In heavy rain, however, you will get wet. This PFC-free windbreaker is available in various colours.
Rain protection: Endura Pro SL waterproof softshell jacket
The other day, it started raining when I was out cycling. I got absolutely soaked. Luckily, I was carrying the Endura rain jacket in my backpack. Weighing just under 200 grams, this softshell jacket is made of a waterproof, breathable stretch fabric with a brushed inner for added warmth in a fully seam sealed construction. In other words, it keeps you dry even in heavy rain. I tested this jacket thoroughly back in spring. Here’s my review.
Cold protection: Endura Hummvee Flipjak
This windproof and water-repellent reversible jacket by Endura offers two colour options and a Silver PrimaLoft filling that looks stylish and keeps you warm. The Hummee Flipjak is suitable for cycling and everyday life. Wear the flashy side outside for improved visibility when you’re cycling and turn it inside out to enjoy a mug of mulled wine and raclette at the Christmas market in a more subtle look. This jacket is sure to keep you warm, but it’s not the right choice in wet conditions when you’re racing down a muddy bike trail. Here’s a detailed review of this winter jacket.
