SUGOi Versa Evo Jacket Women's

In our estimation, there are two approaches to seasonal cycling gear. The first is to assemble an expansive wardrobe that covers ever possible variation in temperature, precipitation, and cloud cover for each season. The second is to prioritize versatility in order to keep wardrobe space and the ire of significant others to a minimum. The Sugoi Versa Evo Women's Jacket is for those interested in the latter, and it's removable sleeves, layer friendly cut, and lightweight weather protection mean that it can adapt to most weather conditions throughout the year without imperiling domestic bliss by making cycling clothing the biggest item on the household budget. The jacket's sleeves and back are waterproof, while the front is water repellent and leads into the seasonal chill with a wind resistant shield. This combination takes the sting out of the main antagonists of fall and spring chilling rain and biting wind and the fact that the sleeves zip off means it serves as a vest for chilly descents and brisk mornings during summer's bookend weeks, too. The sleeves attach with magnets, removing the issue of adding additional jagged zippers to the washing machine on kit laundry day. Fewer zippers helps preserve the Lycra and delicate DWR treatments that you've dumped so much cash into. The jacket is finished with a single rear pocket for stowing the sleeves, and its semi fit cut means it reduces flapping material without quite approaching the painted on fit of summer racing kit. That means it's layering friendly, so you can store and protect your other ride essentials in a standard or thermal jersey's pockets underneath. It also means the Versa Evo can figuratively evolve as the seasons change adding or subtracting baselayers will suit it to most temperatures falling between the extremes of winter and summer.
