Sportful women's aw25 jacket range guide

Lots of riders think of a jacket as being for warmth, nothing more, and use just the one jacket as part of their layering system. While the use of base layers and long or short sleeved jerseys is a savvy way of unlocking the maximum temperature range of your jackets, remember they’re also there for something else – protection from the elements.

Selecting two or three jackets with care will let you ride in a huge variety of conditions, while also taking into account the intensity with which you want to ride and whether you plan to wear the same outfit all day or switch it up as needed.

Sportful has jackets to meet all your needs, with different thicknesses, different levels of water and wind protection and different qualities, such as ease of packability or reflectivity to keep you safe in low light. So, you can now ride in any conditions, all through the winter, with the right jackets in your wardrobe.

Read on to discover the full Sportful range for the cold months.

Fiandre 2 Women's

Principal fabric: Polartec® AirCore™
Temperature range: -5-5°C
Rain protection: Water repellent
Wind protection: Windproof

Brand new Polartec® AirCore™ ensures the Fiandre 2 Women’s is breathable, windproof and highly water resistant at once, keeping you comfortable and dry, both inside and out, in most conditions. Additionally, it’s made from the 298g version of the material, rather than the 150g, so it will keep you toasty on the coldest days you’re likely to encounter in Britain.

Choose the Fiandre 2 Women’s on foul days when the weather is icy.

Fiandre Shift Women's

Principal fabric: Polartec® AirCore™
Temperature range: 5-15°C
Rain protection: Water repellent
Wind protection: Windproof

The Fiandre Shift Women’s Jacket is constructed from Polartec® AirCore™ for the perfect balance of breathability, windproofing and water resistance. It’s able to block all but heavy rain and manages moisture brilliantly. Since it’s made from the lighter, 150g version of AirCore™, it’s ideal for cool hinge season rides, when a thick jacket would be too much.

Wear it for days with a foul start that promise to warm up a bit.

Fiandre Pro 2 Women's

Principal fabric: Polartec® NeoShell
Temperature range: 5-15°C
Rain protection: Water repellent
Wind protection: Windproof

The Fiandre Pro 2 Women’s Jacket, made from Polartec® NeoShell, is windproof and breathable but prioritises water resistance. Although the seams aren’t taped, the material itself is waterproof and minimal stitching avoids leaks, so only torrential rain will breach it. It’s suitable for your longest explorations, but perhaps not breathable enough for racing or training.

Wear this jacket when the weather is terrible, but you plan to ride all day anyway.

Fiandre Women's Aqua

Principal fabric: Polartec® Power Shield™ RPM
Temperature range: 10-30°C
Rain protection: Waterproof
Wind protection: Windproof

The Fiandre Women’s Aqua is your best friend when the day is wet and wild, being 100% waterproof and windproof, with taped seams to keep rogue drops out. It’s still breathable, with a wonderfully elastic, regular fit that will let you change positions anytime, but is warmer than some other jackets and not quite as airy.

Wear it when it’s mild but extremely foul and you want to ride hard or train.

SRK Women's

Principal fabric: Brushed, windproof polyester
Temperature range: 5-15°C
Rain protection: Water repellent
Wind protection: Windproof

The regular fit SRK Women’s Jacket prioritises windproofing above all else, but is also warm, water resistant and elastic enough to be suitable for both road and gravel riding. Conceived to pair performance with timeless style, this jacket carries windproof, brushed polyester fabric at the front and stretchy, breathable fabric at the back for maximum comfort.

Wear it in cool conditions, when the day is changeable, but rain isn’t guaranteed.

SRK Shift Wind Women's

Principal fabric: Windproof, breathable
Temperature range: 10-30°C
Rain protection: None
Wind protection: Windproof

The SRK Shift Wind Women’s is primarily a windbreaker, but far more breathable than your average hardshell. It has a dual-zip system, for easy venting on the move, and sleeves that block wind at the front but allow airflow at the back. Constructed with a comfortable, regular fit, it also features reflective detailing for low light protection.

Pull it on in mild and/or gusty conditions, when dry weather is expected.

Supergiara 2 Women's

Principal fabric: Polartec® Alpha™
Temperature range: 0-10°C
Rain protection: Water repellent
Wind protection: Windproof

The Supergiara 2 Women’s features a water resistant and windproof outer membrane, along with a super-cosy Polartec® Alpha™ inner that keeps you warm and manages moisture brilliantly. Made for gravel adventures or racing, this jacket has loads of pocket space, including mesh pockets at the chest, and is breathable enough to let you push yourself.

Choose it when you ride off-road on a cold day and the weather is changeable.

Classic Women's

Principal fabric: Gore-Tex Infinium™
Temperature range: 5-15°C
Rain protection: Water repellent
Wind protection: Windproof

Although made for cool to mild temperatures, the Classic Women’s Jacket’s regular fit ensures there’s room for layers to let it work for you on the coldest days. Enhanced with Gore-Tex Infinium™, this jacket will keep off most rain and all wind, while also being breathable enough to keep you dry on the inside. It’s good looking, sleek and will suit all shapes.

If you want to feel protected but also stylish on intense rides, it’s a great option.

Neo 2 Softshell Women's

Principal fabric: Brushed polyester windproof
Temperature range: 5-15°C
Rain protection: Water repellent
Wind protection: Windproof

The Neo 2 Softshell Women’s is practical, modern-looking and protective, with a front made from brushed, windproof fabric that will fend off the worst rain and add warmth. Its elastic, breathable back, meanwhile, lets sweat evaporate and refines the fit. With classic rear pockets and a valuables pocket, it’s a versatile jacket that you’ll use often.

Select this jacket for comfort on cool days when it’s due to be dry or damp.

Aqua Light Women's

Principal fabric: Elastic, waterproof fabric
Temperature range: 10-30°C
Rain protection: Waterproof
Wind protection: Windproof

Best at mild to warm temperatures, the Aqua Light Women’s offers the wind and rainproofing of a hard shell, while also being stretchy enough to offer a close fit and highly breathable. Ideal for pulling on for showers, then packing away again once the deluge has passed, it’s made for when you’re not looking for warmth but don’t know what the day will hold.

Pack it anytime on your road or gravel ride, in case the heavens open.
