Ultra-light and compact, the Mavic Cloud jacket is a great addition to your cycling wardrobe and the ideal item to have stowed about your person, especially on changeable days. With a rear zip pocket for stashing keys, phone and tissues, this jacket has the rare quality of being low noise – it’s made from DuraLite SoftTech material, which doesn’t make much rustling sound. It’s highly wind resistant, which you’ll be grateful for next time you’re heading into that head wind on the way to work.
