7Mesh Northwoods Jacket

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.
