Sugoi Hydrolite
The Hydrolite is the perfect jacket to stuff in your pocket on those unpredictable spring rides.
You’ll hardly notice it’s there but, come the inevitable downpour, you can smugly whip it out to stay dry and warm. It’s no old style boil in the bag primitive race cape, though. The ‘intelligent fabric’ which activates when water touches the surface kept rain out brilliantly, and with underarm venting and excellent breathability our tester didn’t get soaked with sweat from the inside, either.
The athletic fit was perfect for riding, there was no drag causing billowing and an adjustable shockcord in the hem allowed easy fine-tuning.
The soft-brushed neck provides a touch of luxury and the Scotchlite reflective piping a sensible nod to safety. It also performed well as a running jacket and, packing down to a fist-sized ball, is a perfact standby to have in your bumbag.
