The constant changes in weather can cause several problems when cycling, especially in a shoulder season like this one. From the heat of the plains you can move to the cold of the mountains, or to violent storms. If not, yet, constant rain: in short, a climate worthy of the Northern Classics. For this reason Sportful added to his line Flanders a new item of clothing: it is the Light Short Sleeve JacketA versatile product, suitable for different weather conditions.
Between shirt and jacket
The Fiandre Light Short Sleeve Jacket is what you might call a product halfway between a jacket and a jersey. Sportful's idea was to combine the characteristics of these two garments into one.Precisely because changing clothes once you're on the pedals is inconvenient, especially if you have to do it continuously.
Fiandre Light is a short-sleeved jacket suitable for protecting from cold winds and sudden climate changes without sacrificing mobility and comfort. The fabric it is made of allows you to be protected from atmospheric agents of any kind.The sleeves are longer than those of a normal jersey, to offer more protection.
Technical features
Sportful he chose different fabric compositions depending on the area of the shirt and its characteristics. The main fabric, the front one, is made of 100% polyester, for better protection from wind and rain. In the area under the sleeves, at the back and in the inner collar, the composition of the fabric changesWe're switching to 91% polyester and 9% elastane. This choice reflects the cyclist's need for movement, allowing them to enjoy greater freedom.
Three bellows pockets have been added to the back, allowing for greater carrying capacity. The neck, however, is slightly shorter compared to a classic jacket, so as to avoid discomfort.
The Fiandre Light is recommended for racing or intense training, both on the road and on gravel. The operating temperature range is between 10 and 20 degrees Celsius. Sizes range from S to XXXL. While the purchase price is 119,90 euros.
