7Mesh Northwoods Jacket

A super light windproof jacket the 7mesh Northwoods is one to take with you on every ride to combat windchill. Fully wind-protective as well as excellent breathability makes for a great jacket for rides in hilly or mountainous terrain.

Rising up from the balmy warmth of the valley floor pedalling to the rarefied air of the alpine pass you'll welcome added wind protection on the long descent back down. The Northwoods is ideal as it's extremely wind resistant, a full front zip and elasticized cuffs and hem sealing tightly against the wind. 

It's also ultra-breathable so you don't overheat as temperatures rise on the way down, with breathability being further augmented by the addition of underarm mesh gussets. The Northwood packs a lot of performance in but it's svelte enough, at just 100 grams, to easily pack in a jersey pocket.

We'll take a windproof layer on every ride, even in summer, which is where the Northwoods jacket is ideal. Easy to pack and lightweight it's the difference between a chilly descent and a comfortable descent. You can even throw it on to keep off a chill at the cafe stop.

A windproof cycle jacket will help keep the cold air from reaching your chest, this means your body stays warm and comfortable on those cold days.

About the 7Mesh brand

When we look back, it was inevitable. We were a group of friends who lived in Squamish and worked in Vancouver, and we had a few things in common. We were passionate cyclists who spent pretty much all of our free time on two wheels. And we just weren’t satisfied with the apparel available for our sport. And of course, most of us made technical outdoor gear for a living. That factored in. Soon enough, we found ourselves dreaming about solving those gear problems, about making things right. We’d start a company right here in Squamish, and use hands-on design. We’d focus strictly on cycling apparel. We’d use only the best materials and most modern manufacturing techniques. And after enough dreaming, we believed. So we all took a deep breath, quit our jobs and got to work.
