    BOLD DESIGN CHOICES

    Sometimes being bold means being different. At Van Rysel, we are driven by performance. And for a winter jacket, that means keeping you warm, of course, but without making compromises.
    No compromise on warmth thanks to the fine, lightweight and windproof KIMA TOPLIGHT component.
    No compromise on breathability thanks to the highly breathable MATRIX component used on the upper back and under the arms.
    No compromise on aerodynamics thanks to the fine material, slim fit and "long tail" of the jacket

    What is the Pro Fit design?

    Pro Fit is a cycling garment design from Van Rysel. It's a design made for high-performance cyclists who want cycling clothes that are close-fitting without being constricting.
    This jacket is designed to be worn over a technical base layer. If you plan on wearing it over two layers, we recommend buying one size larger than your usual.

    Our Pro Fit design is for those cycling regularly. If you think you might need a jacket with a bit more space, buy one size larger than your usual.

    DETAILS THAT MAKE THE DIFFERENCE

    This jacket stands out because we have taken care of every detail.

    - A flap for the lower zip so that it doesn't damage your cycling shorts.
    - A flap for the top zip so that it doesn't irritate your neck.
    - Soft sleeves with elasticated cuffs
    - Small cords on the zips to make it easier to grab them when wearing gloves.

    Plenty of pockets

    This jacket is made with 7 pockets.
    Two small side pockets that can be used for rubbish.
    A set of 5 back pockets that include:
    - 2 pockets for snacks or small items - 1 zip pocket for phone/key/card - 1 net pocket for gloves, hat or other accessories.

    TECHNICAL SPECS

    100% Polyester
    RET < 12, and an air permeability rating of 4/5.
    Main component: 185 g/sqm

    WHICH JACKET SHOULD YOU CHOOSE: RACER OR RACER XTREM?

    These two jackets are very different. The Racer weighs 340 g whereas the XTREM weighs double that at 680 g.
    The Racer is a close-fitting jacket that is very effective for riding in spring, autumn, or mild winter weather. But in temperatures below 7°C it starts to show its limits, and that is when we turn to the XTREM.

    Note that these jackets are water-repellent, not waterproof. So we recommend taking along an ultralight rain jacket if there is a chance of rain.

    Care tips

    In order to keep your jacket looking impeccable year after year, we recommend that you machine wash it with a 30°C synthetics cycle. Close the zips before washing your jacket.
    Don't tumble dry, and don't use fabric softener! Don't dry clean it either.
    Line dry it in a well ventilated area.
