The number of users of the “cleverhood” ponchos we’ve been steadily introducing has been growing.
However, on days like today when there is strong wind and rain, the loose silhouette of a poncho can easily catch the wind and flap around. On days like this, I want to slip into a tighter, higher-spec rain jacket.
This Café du Cycliste “Colette Rain Jacket” is an item that perfectly answers that request.Café du Cycliste “Colette Rain Jacket” ¥32,000 (excl. tax)
It features high windproofing, waterproofing, breathability, and an incredible amount of stretch—unthinkable for a rain jacket. It stretches, so there’s no stress. It’s the ultimate cycling rainwear.
Made by Italy’s “Zero Wind,” the material is a trusted fabric in a wide range of fields outside of cycle sports.
The fact that it’s a purple jacket—a niche that surely no one else has covered—makes me want one.It also comes fully equipped with water-resistant zippers, as you would expect from proper rainwear.
The rear ventilation allows direct access to the jersey pockets you’re wearing underneath.
Whether for your daily commute or, of course, long rides in bib shorts.
It’s a waste to give up riding on rainy days.
Please try one on for yourself.
