THE MODULAR EXTREME JACKET
We've designed this jacket for the coldest, windiest winter outings: those outings where even the slightest equipment failure becomes a nightmare.
This jacket can accompany you down to -5°C with only a technical undergarment underneath. NIRTA RICE is a windproof, warm and water-repellent component that forms the outer shell of the jacket.
An internal MATRIX vest ensures the jacket's modularity. We recommend the vest only below 5°C.
LONG TAIL CUT
As you can see from the photos, we decided to lengthen the back of the jacket. The reason is quite simple: to protect your tights, and therefore your buttocks, from wheel throwbacks.
We also saw the added benefit of being able to lower the pockets, so you don't have to twist around to put something in or take something out.
WHAT IS THE PRO FIT CUT?
The PRO FIT cut is the cut of Van Rysel products. It's a cut designed for cyclists who want a close-fitting garment but don't want to be constrained.
This jacket is designed to be worn only with a technical undergarment. If you plan to wear it with a second layer, don't hesitate to go up a size!
The PRO FIT cut is designed for regular cyclists. If you think you need more volume, go up a size.
POCKETS
The jacket has 7 pockets.
Two small side pockets, which can be used as garbage pockets.
A block of 5 rear pockets, as follows:
- two food and/or small equipment pockets
- a closed pocket for phone/key/cards
- a double wired pocket for gloves, hats or other accessories.
THE DETAILS THAT MAKE ALL THE DIFFERENCE
This jacket is different because we've taken care of every detail:
- A garage for the zipper at the bottom so as not to damage your shorts
- A garage for the zipper at the top so as not to irritate your neck
- A removable neckband with breathing zone
- Soft, elastic cuffs at the bottom of the sleeves
- Some reflective elements and markings for those who like to leave early or come home late!
- Cords on the zippers to make them easier to grip with gloves.

RET < 20 et une note de 5/5 en perméabilité à l'air.

RACER OR RACER XTREM JACKET, WHICH TO CHOOSE?
These two jackets are very different, 340 g for the Racer jacket versus double 680 g for the XTREM jacket.
The Racer jacket is a very effective second skin for mid-season and mild winter outings. Below 7°C, it shows its limitations, and we enter the territory of the XTREM jacket.
Please note that these jackets are water-repellent and not waterproof, so we recommend that you take an ultra-light rain jacket with you if the weather looks wet.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS
To keep your jacket in perfect condition for many years, we recommend machine-washing at 30°C on the synthetic program. Wash with the zipper closed.
Do not tumble dry or use fabric softener! No dry-cleaning either.
Hang to dry in an airy room.
