Men’s Road & Gravel Cycling Jackets & Vests
Headwinds. Crosswinds. Storm fronts. Our men’s road & gravel cycling jackets and vests are built to disappear under pressure—wind‑stopping, rain‑ready, and breathable enough to ride hard without stewing. Packable when you don’t need them. Essential when you do.
Choose Your Outer Layer
Wind Jacket: ultralight barrier for early starts and long descents; vents heat and packs down fast.
Rain Jacket: waterproof, seam‑sealed protection with breathable membranes for tempo efforts—shop Men’s Wet Weather for shell options.
Thermal / Softshell: insulated warmth that still breathes; pair with base layers and a mid layer when temps drop.
Vest (Gilet): core warmth without the bulk—blocks wind up front, dumps heat out back; the one piece that lives in every jersey pocket.
Layer Like a System
Base: start with a moisture‑moving base layer matched to effort and climate.
Mid: add a long‑sleeve or thermal cycling jersey for steady warmth and storage.
Outer: top with wind or rain protection; on the coldest days, pair with tights & bib tights and insulated gloves.
Road Speed. Gravel Range.
Road: aero‑leaning fits that resist flap at pace; stashable shells for summit‑to‑valley swings.
Gravel: tough, quiet fabrics and on‑body storage compatibility for self‑supported miles; weather can change fast off‑tarmac—carry a vest or shell.
Fit & Sizing — Dial It In
Jackets and vests should fit close without bind so layers work as one; sleeves cover the reach, hems stay put in the drops, and collars seal out the chill. Use our Size & Fit Guide to lock your size.
FAQ
Windproof vs. waterproof—what do I need?
Wind shells kill chill and pack small; waterproof shells add seam‑sealed rain protection. If you ride through storms or spray, go waterproof. For cool, dry days, a wind jacket or vest is usually enough.
How breathable are rain jackets?
The best balance sweat management with storm protection. Pair with a wicking base layer and vent when climbing to stay dry inside and out.
Vest or jacket for shoulder season?
Start with a vest for core warmth and add arm warmers; escalate to a wind or rain jacket when temps fall or weather turns.
