BOLD DESIGN CHOICES
Sometimes being daring means being different. At Van Rysel , performance is what drives us, and on a winter jacket that means warmth without compromise.
No compromise on warmth with KIMA TOPLIGHT, a thin, light and windproof component
No compromise on breathability with MATRIX, a particularly breathable component on the upper back and under the arms
No compromise on aerodynamics, the jacket is slim and fitted
with a "long tail" cut.
LONG TAIL CUT
As you can see from the photos, we decided to lengthen the back of the jacket. The reason is very 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're thinking of wearing it with a second layer, don't hesitate to go up a size!
The PRO FIT cut is aimed at regular cyclists, so if you think you need more volume, go up a size too.
THE DETAILS THAT MAKE ALL THE DIFFERENCE
This jacket is different because we have 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
- Soft, elastic cuffs at the bottom of the sleeves
- Cords on the zippers to make them easier to grip with gloves.
POCKETS
The jacket has 7 pockets:
Two small side pockets that can be used as trash pockets.
A block of 5 rear pockets, which can be broken down 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.
TECHNICAL DATA
100% POLYESTER
RET < 12 et une note de 4/5 en perméabilité à l'air.
Composant principal : 185g/m2
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, 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.
