Cycling to work is great in the dry summer months, but it can turn into a real chore in the wet ones if you don’t have the right kit. Get your hands on one of these waterproof jackets and you will be cycling year-round.

 

For a simple emergency layer, it’s hard to beat the Altura Pocket Rocket 2. It folds down so small it can fit in the back pocket of a cycling jersey, ready to be used in case of a sudden downpour.

 

A slightly heavier jacket, the Madison Protec has reflective detailing to keep you safe on the roads. It’s available in three colors, and also packs down small.

 

The Proviz Reflect 360 is covered in reflective material that lights up when it comes into contact with an external light source. This means you will glow like a beacon in car headlights, as well as staying perfectly dry.

 

Rapha’s Commuter jacket makes use of similar technology at a slightly higher price point. It’s cut to fit over normal clothes, and there is an inner chest pocket to keep your wallet dry. The jacket is also part of one of the most fashionable ranges of cycling clothing around, so you’ll get extra cool points.
