Le Col PRO Thermal Jacket : Black / Autumn

Season:AW17

Brand:Le Col

Code:PRC202

Le Col come into Autumn / Winter 2016 stronger than ever before and the new C2 Thermal Jacket is a fine example of the brand's understanding of its market.

In the recent spate of milder winters we have seen a decline in the sale of real 'heavy winter' pieces, The fact that the bulk of winter riding actually takes place in cool to cold conditions rather than freezing or high-altitude (Box Hill  is not a mountain) means that often, the really warm jackets are simply too warm. If we are honest, most people riding over the winter fall into two categories; the seriously hardcore, all-conditions, ride-anyway type - and the rest of us who like to think we're hardcore because it's single digit mercury, just.

For these reasons items like the Le Col C2 Winter Jacket are ideal and why this type of garment is on the rise across all brands. 

The Le Col C2 Long Sleeve jacket  is one of those pieces that blurs the lines between jersey and jacket. It keeps out the elements while offering excellent breathability, warmth and great 4-way stretch for a perfect fit. The C2 jacket is light like a jersey yet protects like a jacket.

The quest for lower bulk but highly functional fabrics have helped drive this evolution and the C2 is no exception. Made from Windtex® - a light-stretch, heat-regulating membrane which blocks wind and water and maintains an unaltered microclimate between the skin and the fabric; it is extremely low weight for a jacket that offers this level of protection. We are impressed in particular by its elasticity. Other membranes which may otherwise be similar to Windtex® tend to be heavier and do not have anything like the level of elasticity and we all appreciate freedom of movement on the bike; it's fine to be snug but constriction is deeply unpleasant and distracting, particularly when working at higher intensity. The Windtex fabric has a textured micro fleece back which serves to insulate - like the hairs on your skin - at low intensity and also to help channel warm, moist air for temperature regulation when the work increases.

As a result of the thinner, flexible and lighter fabric the C2 has increased versatility and used with a thermally appropriate base layer, it is suitable for the wide range of temperatures likely to be experienced by the bulk of riders - moving its functional range into 3 seasons, from autumn through spring.

It is often the case, particularly in changeable conditions that riders have to strip layers, hats, buffs and other warming essentials off when the body warms up. At this point there is the problem of where to put those extra items. Le Col's capacious triple pocket offering is generous already but the 4-way stretch of the fabric enhances them further, providing ample storage for those long, changeable rides. Drain holes mean that they don't fill with water if the heavens open. 

The C2 jacket has some excellent safety features too. Two large circular patches of silver reflective fabric on the shoulders offer superb visibility at night - particularly at junctions and on roundabouts as they are visible to traffic from the front and the side. The Le Col signature reflective stripe adorns the central pocket for better visibility from the rear while a waterproof 4th pocket keeps your valuables dry and an internal pocket provides extra stowage for cash and cards.

The C2 is available in understated full black or with patterned sleeves which add a touch of frivolity whilst simultaneously enhancing contrast for better visibility.

Professional Opinion

The C2 is an impressive piece of kit. I don't like bulky clothing and the super lightweight C2 is a revelation. I was initially sceptical about the warmth that this piece would offer given how thin the material is, but after one use I was totally smitten. With just a quality short sleeve base layer, I have worn this down to -1oC.

Fit is superb: tight and close - so no flapping - but not even close to being restrictive thanks to the 4-way stretch. The cuffs are close so no air gets in but are slim and discreet so as not to interfere with glove fit. Pockets are huge and I can carry everything I need for the winter conditions with room to spare. The patterning on the sleeves coupled with the reflective shoulder patches mean I'm visible without looking like I work on the railway and I've had some admiring glances from passing drivers!

All in all a versatile jacket for a broad range of temperatures when worn with the right base layer, and extremely comfortable too.
