RCR, Ultralight Packable Windproof Jacket

I agree totally with another reviewer. I bought one of these, when they used to be yellow front and back, in a Decathlon store in France. It's very visible and has been out with me on every trip, for thousands of miles, except in the depths of winter - it weighs only 80 grams and is fantastic, keeping you warm in wind or light showers. However, the zip has now broken and I need a new one - but the change to BLACK is a disaster! The roads are extremely busy and dangerous where I live, and I wouldn't wear the new design, for fear of drivers not seeing me. I assume the black is so that the dirt doesn't show on cyclists' backs, for people who are stupid enough to ride in bad weather without even minimum mudguards.... but this design is plain dangerous. BRING BACK THE YELLOW BACK!

Lightweight shell for when it get chilly or windy. Little to sporting fit, so had to go size up.

Update from my previous review: After using the jacket, in windy conditions, I must amend my last review. The jacket was excellent for blocking out excess breezes, as well as keeping me surprisingly warm; despite being an ultra-thin layer. The fit (I now realise) is supposed to be quite tight, in order to provide the best protection. Great jacket!

I have one in each colour and the fit is superb. I am 6ft4 and 78kg and medium is best for me. Nice and frittered without flapping. Better than my top brand items.

An essential piece of kit

It does what it says on the description to a good extent. If you are looking for serious wind protection, you know where the prices would be. As for the size, I am 177cm, 40in Chest, chose medium; a hugging fit and that's preferred. I would have liked a small pocket in the back, just for the phone or keys so you can slip into a bib and full sleeve base layer with this on top and on your bike.

this has no hint of been waterproof product at all - just collected and its on its way back. Its a shame as its the first time using Decathlon

great value, neatly stored away in jersey pocket, does the job

This is a handy jacket for those days you go out on your bike and it gets chilly. Splash proof too

What a great jacket it's a race fit on the go stores really good in the back pocket, very light shower proof well worth the money

I have bought at least 3 of these over the years and have been so pleased with them, have recommended others to also buy them. BUT the design has changed from the same material and colour front and back. When I went to buy another, I was disappointed to find the highly visible yellow back now has a large black area - not good for making riders visible, particularly in poor/dark light conditions. I was also disappointed to find the back has now been made from an open mesh. Whilst this open mesh increases the breathability, it also allows a lot of heat to escape. The jacket is supposed to be for wearing in cool conditions, so this mesh destroys that benefit. I didn't buy another, and will look elsewhere for a design similar to the original version. A shame because I thought they were excellent.

Bought this for a rainy day and worked a treat. Great shape and nice pocket entry from back. Fits into a tiny pack to carry which is fab. Fit, as with all race gear, is hilarious. I’m a 40” chest and the M would not fit. The L would but was skin tight - even just a shirt under would have been a push. The XL was perfect.
