Peace of Mind: PRO TEAM LIGHTWEIGHT WIND JACKET II
How often have you been on a ride that could have benefited from just a little more protection from a chill? Brisk starts, cool summits and fast descents, riding into the shade, unexpected stops. It’s a small thing, but the difference between a good ride and a great ride can be just that – a small, perfectly packable shell, stowed in a pocket or bag until you need it most.
Wind Stopper
First and foremost, this jacket keeps you comfortable by acting as a barrier to cool air without trapping heat. Engineered with dual windproof materials for targeted protection, the fabric is calibrated to block the chill while allowing internal moisture vapour to escape. The two-way zipper allows for heat dumping during your hard efforts, and easy access to your rear pockets on the bike.
Pocketable Protection
Our lightweight construction makes this jacket simple for you to stow. Easily fold or scrunch it into a pocket or a bag, and it takes up not much more space than a spare tube, for less weight. You might even forget it’s there.
I can't imagine my life without it, or how I managed without it before. It's so versatile in colder weather, paired with different jerseys

Fit and forget
Strategically placed high stretch panelling and a close to skin construction means it fits like a jersey, even when you’ve got full pockets, sitting close with no flapping or fuss. Keeping it smooth means the only difference you’ll feel at speed is the comfort of keeping the heat in. Enjoy the sound of the wind on a descent and the well earned buzz of your hubs.
Middle Ground
When the pace is high, but the forecast is uncertain, you might not need the all-out protection of a dedicated wet-weather garment. You need a barrier that doesn't become a greenhouse. This jacket is calibrated to block the wind's chill while maintaining enough airflow to get rid of internal moisture vapor. It preserves your core temperature during fast descents, yet remains light enough to disappear into a jersey pocket once the climb begins.
