Choose Your Outer Layer

Wind jacket: ultralight barrier for early starts and fast drops; vents quickly and packs small.

Vest (gilet): core warmth without bulk—blocks wind up front, dumps heat out back; the piece that lives in your pocket.

Rain jacket: seam-sealed, ride-breathable protection for sustained rain—see Women’s Wet Weather for storm shells.

Thermal / softshell: insulated warmth that still breathes; pair with base layers when temps drop.

Layer Like a System

Base: start with moisture-moving women’s baselayers matched to effort and climate.

Mid: add a short- or long-sleeve cycling jersey for steady warmth and storage.

Lower: in the cold, pair with tights & bib tights to keep legs firing.

Seal it: finish with gloves and shoe covers.

Road Speed. Gravel & Trail Range.

Road: close, low-flap fits that stay quiet at pace; stashable shells for summit-to-valley swings.

Gravel: tough, quiet fabrics and on-body storage compatibility for self-supported miles—explore Women’s Gravel.

MTB: durable, pedal-friendly cuts that play nice with packs—see Women’s MTB Jackets & Vests.
