It’s winter. Days are short, temperatures are low, and there’s rain about. The second thing on every rider’s mind is a good jacket.

A waterproof liner should ideally be the outermost layer, and it needs to be in place before the rider or any apparel get wet.

Jackets are all about protection: protection from impact and abrasion, and protection from the elements.
