Showers Pass Men's Skyline Softshell Road MTB Cycling Jacket Black Size …

Excellent condition, you might think this is new The Skyline soft shell jacket from Portland brand Showers Pass is a great option for fast riding in the autumn and spring. It is pretty closely fitted so you can't fit as many layers underneath as some so depending on your build you may find that it's not for the coldest months of winter. But for fast club rides or even winter racing I found it worked a treat. Softshell jackets are a pretty popular option for the cooler months. While not as impermeable as fully-sealed jackets, the best ones can be amply water-resistant for most riding while much more breathable than a hard-shell. The Skyline is made of 3-layer Artex fabric (thankfully nothing like the stuff on your parents' ceilings). As is customary with softshells, there are no sealed seams - it's not that sort of jacket. What there are is an abundance of zipped openings (beyond the usual one): two sizeable armpit vents, cuffs that can be opened up with a neat zip and - most unusually - a small vent at the top of the back which opens with another zip. Add in a chest pocket and you might imagine that the Skyline would consist of more zip than fabric and be consequently rather ugly, but it isn't. To my eyes it's rather smart in the black I tested. The zips are pretty discreet and combine well with the pleasingly non-garish reflective details for a classy look. Questions? Leave a comment below!
