Men’s Windbreakers & Jackets

Headwinds, descents, pop-up storms—handled. Our men’s windbreakers and cycling jackets balance windproof protection, real breathability, and packability you can ride hard in. Slip one in a pocket for early starts, zip it when the ridge turns icy, and keep moving when the weather flips.

Choose Your Outer Layer

Windbreaker (wind jacket): ultralight barrier that kills chill on descents and dawn roll-outs; vents fast and stashes small—see Men’s Road & Gravel Jackets.

Rain jacket (waterproof): fully seam-sealed shell with breathable membranes for tempo efforts—shop the Wet Weather collection.

Thermal/softshell: insulated warmth that still breathes for deep-season rides and long valley returns.

Trail shells: tough, quiet fabrics that play nice with packs—explore Men’s MTB Jackets.

Temperature & Conditions Guide

60–75°F (16–24°C): windbreaker only; unzip on climbs, zip for descents.

45–60°F (7–16°C): wind jacket over a thermal jersey; add light gloves.

30–45°F (-1–7°C): softshell or insulated jacket; pair with tights & bib tights.

Rain & spray: go waterproof/seam-sealed from Wet Weather and finish with shoe covers.

Fit & Sizing — Dial It In

Shells should skim the body so layers work as one: sleeves cover the reach, hem stays put in the drops, collar seals the chill. If you’re between sizes, use our Size & Fit Guide.

Layer Like a System

Base: moisture-moving men’s baselayers matched to effort and climate.

Mid: short- or long-sleeve jersey for warmth and storage.

Outer: windbreaker or waterproof shell based on forecast.

Finish: add road gloves and shoe covers to complete the seal.

FAQ

Windbreaker vs. rain jacket—what’s the difference?
Windbreakers block chill and pack tiny; rain jackets add seam-sealed, waterproof protection for full-on storms while remaining ride-breathable.

Are windbreakers breathable enough to train in?
Yes—modern fabrics move heat fast. Vent on climbs, close for descents.

Will it fit in a jersey pocket?
Most windbreakers pack down small; many waterproof shells also stash in a pocket or on-bike bag. Check the product details for pack size.

Road vs. trail shells?
Road/gravel pieces run low-flap and packable; trail shells emphasize durability and pack compatibility—see Men’s MTB Jackets.

Care tips?
Close zips, wash cold, skip fabric softener, and air-dry. Refresh DWR on wind/water-resistant shells to maintain beading.
