Campagnolo Thermo Txn Jacket - TESTED

pro_bibs_lo (12K)

Yippee! A plain black jacket that looks and feels great! We've hardly taken ours off since it arrived. The Thermo Txn Jacket by Campagnolo took us by surprise and it's been worn for road riding, some mountain biking and out in town too.

The fabric is breathable stretchy and windproof Thermo Textran on the front and arms of the jacket and microfibre fabric on the rear, giving the best in breathability plus wind and weatherproofing where you need it. The fabric is even showerproof should you get caught out, and the versatility of the jacket means you'll get a year round favourite you'll enjoy wearing.

The female specific design and cut is well done and looks flattering too plus there is reflective piping and badges dotted around the jacket. On the front is a full length zip with Campagnolo zip puller and a Thermo wielded waterproof front pocket, perfect for mobile phone/mp3 player with handy cable hole too. Storage is thanks to 3 open back pockets and 1 rear zipped pocket. The waistband holds in place well due to the Multipoint silicone gripper along the rear.

Verdict

How can you not like a black jacket? It's super cool and great fit too, and that's not even mentioning the great technical features.

good Great fit, stylish and packed full of technical features

badNothing really

I'm after some tights (full length) that aren't plain black (I'm bored with black!) AND that have matching jerseys/jackets available.

 I like these:

 but would prefer to order from the UK rather than the USA...

 Any ideas? Thanks!
