Novara Tempest
Description: (from
novarabike.com)
Slicing through winds at high speeds, our soft-shell bike jacket blocks wind and resists water, making it ideal for a mixed bag of riding weather.
* Panels on front and sleeves are windproof up to 60 mph—great for fast descents; soft four-way-stretch knit fabric's exterior is abrasion- and snag-resistant
* Fabric's inner face features a grid pattern
that allows air to circulate, enhancing jacket's breathability
* Lightweight, breathable Cordura® nylon and Tactel® nylon stretch panels on back of arms and shoulders allow free movement where needed most
* Features a large zippered back pocket and a small welded pocket on upper left sleeve
* Dropped waist and extra-long sleeves ensure coverage while cycling; four-way stretch cuffs provide comfort and mobility
* Reflective piping at back seams and a reflective zipper enhance your visibility at night
* Full-length zipper is nicely finished with a zipper hut and chin guard to protect against abrasion
* Fit is designed to move with your body without binding or twisting, allowing maximum comfort and mobility
* Machine wash in cold water on gentle cycle, or hand wash
