Women's Sports jackets
Women’s jackets for running, cycling and skiing
Specialised jackets for the ski tracks
Women’s cross-country ski jackets usually have a windproof front panel and a wind-permeable, highly breathable back panel. These jackets are best suited for track skiing; on a ski tour, a jacket should keep the wind out from every direction.
Women’s running and cycling jackets
Lightweight wind jackets and vests made for running and cycling pack down to an extremely small size – it’s easy to slip one into a jersey pocket, for instance, just in case. On a run, a wind jacket also improves your comfort if it starts to rain. After all, it’s better to face the rain with at least a windproof jacket on than in just a t-shirt. It’s worth trying this kind of wind jacket on the trail too. When a shell jacket is too warm but short sleeves leave you cold, a 100-gram wind jacket can be the best choice.
Cycling jackets are shaped to suit the riding position. The more athletic the jacket, the more it’s cut for a leaning-forward posture. In the sportiest jackets, fabric flapping is minimised with a tight fit, while more relaxed models also work for everyday use when needed. Active cyclists tend to shy away from waterproof membranes, because they always breathe worse than ordinary cycling fabrics. Still, there are situations where it’s better to keep cold rain off your skin. On long efforts, cold water running down your skin drains your energy, and getting chilled also weakens your concentration and coordination.
