Which jacket?
I live in San Diego so it doesn't get real cold here. Lowest temps I ride in are in the 40's
Anyway I am looking for a good jersey, jacket or vest that will block out the wind and keep me warm. I have a Shower's Pass double century jacket that is great for rain and wind but I end up sweaty and damp in it. Right now a use a Craft Pro Zero base layer, Castelli long sleeve jersey which is thick and a basic nylon jacket / vest and its not always warm enough. It would be nice it was a jacket that could convert to a vest and was packable in a jersey pocket or large tool bag. I have been looking at Gore but not sure which one would meet my needs or if there are better options. Thanks |
Foxwear jacket!
http://www.foxwear.net/products_jackets.html Mine is serving me just fine, warm, wind resistant, and breathable. Not to mention a really good price. |

You need to look for what is called a shell. These are somewhat wind-blocking fabrics. They won't block wind as well as your rain coat, but come pretty close. They won't help much with rain, but are generally less sweat-producing than a raincoat.
Still, with low temps of 40s, I would be tempted to try a wind-blocking vest with a couple of long sleeve polyester tee-shirts under. I carry the shell in my bag in case it turned nasty. |
