Le Col HC Winter Jacket : Black / Red

Season:AW17

Brand:Le Col

Code:HCJA02

Le Col's HC line features the company's most advanced tech yet remains - in line with their ethos - product that is suitable for everyone. Yanto is acutely aware of what makes a good cycling garment and this is evident when you take a close look at the products in the range. There is an undeniable focus on comfort, function and style. 

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 HC Winter Jacket are ideal and why this type of garment is on the rise across all brands. The Le Col HC Long Sleeve jacket is one of those pieces that, while not jersey territory, is packed with advanced tech that improves it's versatility and operational range.

The HC jacket is everything in one. Le Col suggest an operating temperature range of between -10oC and +12oC, that is huge for a garment that keeps you warm down to those levels and if true may mean that it's the last jacket you buy! A high neck collar with fleece lining helps keep out the elements while the jacket offers excellent breathability, warmth and great 4-way stretch thanks to the Schoeller-Dynamic stretch fabric with Windtex Membrane. 

The quest for lower bulk but highly functional fabrics have helped drive the evolution of products like the HC Jacket. The fabric used for the bulk of the piece is 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. Like the lighter weight Pro C2, 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, it also features a textured 'Roubaix' material positioned under the arms to moderate body temperature at varied riding intensities.

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 and the storm flap panel at the rear will keep the road spray from making its way to and through your tights.

The HC jacket has some excellent safety features too. Two large, waterprrof 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. These are augmented with panels on the cuffs that improve visability while signalling. The Le Col signature reflective stripe adorns the central pocket for better visibility from the rear.

In addition, and unique to the HC, there are 2 Kevlar panels sewn into the sleeves at the elbow to protect both the rider and the jacket from abrasions and scuffs in the event of a crash. A waterproof 4th pocket keeps your valuables dry and an internal pocket provides extra stowage for cash and cards.

A sophisticated winter jacket, the HC Jacket is waterproof, windproof, thermal, breathable, reflective, aerodynamic & protective and features multiple fabrics each with a specific technical role. The gold standard of Winter Jackets, the HC has you covered in a wide range of conditions and may be the last winter jacket you need to buy.
