Review: Excellent comfort - especially when paired with the dedicated gilet cycling
Galibier has made a conscious decision to design two products together that are intended to work in conjunction with each other to fight off the worst days of a British winter: its GrandTour Jacket and GrandTour Foul Weather Gilet. This review focuses on the GrandTour Jacket, with the gilet's review coming soon.
I tend to be pretty warm when I'm riding, but I found I was incredibly warm wearing this – no matter the weather. The way this jacket keeps the heat in is incredible. If you've never worn a high-quality winter jacket before you'll be blown away, but that's also true if you've used similar jackets from high-end competitors – it's that impressive.
That said, I did appreciate the zipped chest pocket. This is handy for your mobile or keys, without the worry that it might fall out of a rear pocket during a hard effort or tackling a technical descent. It has the added bonus of keeping it in the driest area of your body when it's raining. This means that during a slight shower, or when there's road spray, the jacket will keep you reasonably dry, another bonus for British riding conditions.
