The dhb Commuter Waterproof Jacket combines great fit with oversized reflective panels to help you stay safe and dry on the roads.

The dhb Commuter Waterproof Jacket features large reflective prints in all key areas to help improve the riders visibility to other road users in low light conditions. A large length of durable reflective fabric across the side torso, outer arm, collar bone and rear shoulder provides awesome reflectivity, that will stand up to dirt and grime for real winter conditions.

The fit of the jacket is derived from the dhb EQ2.5 with a little more space. This means the fit is engineered to fit comfortably in the riding position and accommodate a mid layer. The tail is long enough to cover the rear, with elasticated hem and silicone gripper to keep it in place. We have extended the front a couple of centimetres to provide a little more coverage for the layer underneath, when in the non-riding position (for that final walk in the rain to the office).

At the rear of the jacket is a permanent through-flow ventilation panel designed to allow warm air to pass from inside to the outside without rain getting in. A generous length breather pit zip under each arm allows the rider to ventilate the jacket, to remove excessive heat if things start to get a bit intense!

A full-length waterproof YKK zip with internal zip placket prevents driving rain from penetrating the 2.5 layer waterproof and breathable polyester fabric. The collar is close around the neck with brushed contact fabric to remove the chill and prevent drips from getting in. Cuffs can be adjusted using the hook and loop fastener.

For storage there are commuter friendly pockets on the front and a more conventional rider pocket on the rear back panel.

We would describe this as a medium weight jacket, (not Ultralight like the dhb Minima S jacket, or storm weight like the dhb SYNC jacket). The number of features this jacket carries means that it will not pack into a jersey back pocket, but it will easily roll up (approx 30cm X 8cm diameter) to be neatly tucked into a back pack.

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.
