There are hundreds of waterproof jackets out there for commuters, in various hues of flouro yellow, pink and black. But if you want something that has style without sacrificing performance, a cycling jacket you can wear off the bike as well as on, then check out these casual winter cycling jackets.
We’d quite happily wear these even if we weren’t riding our bikes!

2. Georgia in Dublin Women’s Hustle and Bustle Rain Jacket
