About Cycling Waterproof Jackets
Waterproof cycle jackets can improve your comfort levels on the bike considerably when the weather turns nasty. Factors such as wind resistance and high breathability are important if you will be riding at a high pace over a fair distance, along with wearing a good quality base or mid layer to help with wicking moisture away from your skin. Waterproof cycle jackets with hi tech fabrics such as GoreTex and eVent are well worth paying a little extra for, if you require high levels of breathability, this will improve protection, dryness and comfort on longer rides in poor conditions.

Magazine reviews for dhb Amberley Waterproof Cycling Jacket
Review from Cycling Plus
Made from ripstop nylon with taped seams and a water repellent coating, this jacket shrugs off even heavy rain without any worries, while the mostly mesh lining helps distribute your sweat to keep you comfy inside. The fabric isn't in the top league for breathability but as well as the full-length front zip you get super-long pit zips, yoke vents, adjustable cuffs and a drawstring hem to control airflow. We snagged our Lycra on the Velcro-down storm flap, but that shouldn't be a problem as long as you're careful. With quite a generous cut it doesn't pack down particularly small, but for safety our hi-vis version is hard to beat.
In conclusion...
Of the Lower priced mens jackets, the one that stands out from the crowd for combining a high level of performance with a good price is the dhb Amberley. It keeps the rain out well and comes with enough adjustability for you to either seal the air out or let it flow in, and the generous cut makes it an impressive all-round choice.
Rating: 9/10
Review from The Bicycle Buyer
The Amberley is cut from nylon ripstop fabric that has Teflon coating and taped seams to keep you dry. It's not the most breathable of jackets, but dhb have employed several tactics to help with this. Firstly they have used a mesh lining to help circulate air and remove sweat from the skin. Unlike some this hasn't made the jacket ultra heavy, offering a good balance between weight and function. Secondly dhb have added extra ventilation with long pit zips, Velcro adjust cuffs and a drawstring hem that all help with temperature control and airflow to keep you warm and dry. The front zip isn't sealed, but a large front storm has been added to deal with drafts and water. At this price the quality and relaxed fit make it very useable across the cycling spectrum and a great value jacket whether commuting, training on a budget or getting muddy.
In conclusion...
One of the best value waterproofs available.

Review from London Cyclist
I've always been under the impression if you are looking for a good cycling jacket you should spend £100 or more. If you spend less than that you have to compromise on some of the water getting in, not a great fit and expect to sweat more due to less breathability.
Back when I did a roundup of waterproof cycling jackets one jacket that defied that logic was the DHB Amberley. It consistently got high reviews in cycling magazines with Cycling Plus giving it 9/10. Yet, its price point was much closer to the £50 mark rather than £100. I wanted to test out this jacket properly for myself so I emailed Wiggle and asked if they would send me one to review for London Cyclist.
Amy from Wiggle said yes and I've been trying out the jacket for the past couple of months.
One thing I always wonder when hearing cycling jacket reviews is: Yes, great, you tested out the jacket for one ride and then wrote the review. How do you know how it fares over time? So with the DHB Amberley cycling jacket I really wanted to put it through its paces and I had the perfect challenge for it. At the time I was putting together the 25 routes for the London Cycle Routes eBook. Therefore I was covering a lot of miles, on different terrains in many weather conditions. I also wanted to stick it through the washing machine to see how it would cope. Here is what I found...
My previous cycling jacket was an Altura. After about 6 months, anywhere I arrived wearing it, my appearance could have been likened to that of a tramp. The DHB Amberley cycling jacket is like arriving in a James Bond suit in comparison to the Altura. It looks really good; I might go as far as sexy. But I should probably hold back as I don't want to get into a debate as to whether it is possible to look sexy in a cycling jacket! Feel free to debate that in the comments. One thing I will say is it is probably the only bit of cycling gear that has got compliments from the ladies!
After a typical heavy morning of rain I was out exploring a mountain bike route for the eBook. I took a fall and ended up covered in mud. However my t-shirt underneath felt completely dry. Upon arriving home whilst the DHB Amberley jacket was covered in mud, everything underneath was completely dry and clean.
The same kind of protection is provided in the rain. I've cycled around for hours in heavy rain and the DHB Amberley didn't let a drop in. I've been incredibly impressed with this level of weather protection, which obviously shows the jacket has been designed with quality in mind. In the past I would have worn a t-shirt and then another layer on top and finally the cycling jacket. This would keep my body temperature about right. With the DHB I was able to do away with the second layer. Which is great for reducing weight, comfort and carrying less clothes.
The jacket does a very good job of keeping you warm. As you cycle and your body temperature rises you also have the option of opening the zipped vents to allow more air to flow through the jacket.
The Amberley jacket itself feels highly comfortable and in no way gets in the way of the cycling. I particularly like the material around the collar that feels very warm and comfortable.
One thing I was not too pleased with is the back pocket. Whilst it keeps things dry it is a little small and hard to get to. Especially say if you wanted to put your map in there and reach in quickly without stopping. However, this is a minor complaint.
After the muddy fall in Rickmansworth I gave the jacket a quick wash down and then shoved it in the washing machine for good measure. I felt nervous because I didn't want the jacket to fail this test. Luckily it didn't get damaged in the wash and the water resistance is still extremely good. After a few more washes I suspect I'll have to top up the water resistance using one of those water repellent sprays.
In conclusion...
Overall I am very happy with the DHB Amberley cycling jacket and it has made me much happier about cycling in all weather conditions. I can highly recommend it and at that price point you won't find better. Can you get a good cycling jacket for £50? You most certainly can!
