Bellwether Stormfront Jacket - Men's
The anti-element super jerseys currently sweeping through the industry don't address one big issue: there is a difference between water-resistant and waterproof. The Bellwether Stormfront Jacket is made to handle the big storms and more-than-inclement weather that many of us encounter during our winter or spring rides. If you're looking for a sleek weather jacket for race day, this isn't it; however, if your experiences on rainy rides in the past have left an indelible mark on your psyche, then saddle up.
The Stormfront is constructed almost entirely from Aqua-NO material. Aqua-NO isn't quite the nuclear option for anti-weather kit, but it comes close. It strikes a neat balance between the PVC rain capes of yore and the current trend of water-resistant jerseys: waterproof and windproof but still breathable and not shaped like a wind-catching sail. The elements stay outside and, if the protection proves too thorough, the jacket's breathability helps regulate your micro-climate's humidity.
Ventilating zippers on the chest also help with that, and the full-length front zipper can act as an emergency hatch for resetting your body's temperature. The wrists and waist hem can be cinched down for an extra seal, and the single rear pocket is big enough to carry additional head and hands gear for when the weather takes an inevitable turn for the worse. The extra-long tail stows when you don't need it and drops down for extra water protection, and reflective elements help protect you from other road hazards by keeping you visible in low-light conditions.
