Love losing weight? We lost some here with our featherweight bike jacket that's so comfortable, you'll forget you have it on!

  • Lightweight, polyurethane-coated ripstop polyester fabric is breathable, but resists wind and water
  • Two rear zippered pockets can tote your cycling essentials and food; left pocket is slightly larger than right
  • Jacket is, well, stowable! Stuffs easily into it's right rear pocket and then can fit in your jersey pocket—no reason to leave it behind
  • Attention to detail shows with the off-center front zipper, shifted to one side so other clothing layers with zippers don't stack up uncomfortably
  • Soft elastic binding at waist keeps out wind and water
  • Reflective detailing increases visibility to motorists in low-light conditions

Imported.

    Comments about Novara Stowable Bike Jacket - Women's:

    Great lightweight, packable product! Folds down to the size of a wallet and easy to throw into the back of a jersey or a pack. The stiff panel behind the zipper is a nice touch. I can see this as a very useable 3-season jacket for cycling, day hiking, and even spring skiing. Just wish there was a brighter color option in the women's line for increased visibility to motorists while biking.

    Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

      Comments about Novara Stowable Bike Jacket - Women's:

      This jacket is probably my most used piece of cycling clothing and I always have it with me. It packs down very small as you can roll it into its own pocket or squish it into any small space in your bag or pack or whatever.
      This Jacket is form fitting yet very comfortable and non-constricting, you can hardly tell you have it on it is so light weight.
      In my experience it does a great job of insulating without bulk or sacrificing comfort. I generally run cold and this jacket has made my morning rides very enjoyable and keeps me nice and comfy. I often wear it just as a wind breaker and don't overheated.
      Also it has nice reflective stripes.

      My boyfriend has the same jacket (burnt orange) and loves his as well.

      I keep thinking I should buy a back up as i don't know what I would do if I something happens to this one- I like my green color which may have been replaced already :(

        Comments about Novara Stowable Bike Jacket - Women's:

        Oh, but this is a handy little thing indeed! Weighs nothing and wads up in its own pocket to the size of a potato and tucks neatly in to just about any bike bag you have. So good that I have two of 'em and bought men's version for my husband. Will cut down a too-cool breeze and shed heavy fog to light drizzle. We carry ours all the time in case we want to stop for a snack. Enough room in it to put on quickly OVER your standard Camelbak. Suggestion for future version: a hood ??
