RCR Winter Xtrem Softshell Cycling Jacket - VR Team

The purpose of a cycling jacket

The third layer is the layer that protects you from the elements such as the cold and the wind, while retaining the warmth and breathability properties of the lower layers.

This base layer helps you keep up your performance and stay comfortable in any weather.

This Aerofit jacket will keep you warm thanks to its neck warmer and removable breastplate.

The adjustable vents let perspiration escape.

Warmth

A product's ability to protect from the cold. It depends on the material's thermal resistance and how much air can pass through it. The higher its thermal resistance, the more the product retains the heat produced by the body while cycling.

Breathability

To determine whether a fabric is breathable, we measure its evaporative resistance (test based on standard ISO 11092).

The lower its resistance, the more the fabric will let water vapor produced by the body escape, and therefore the more breathable it is.

For example: RET < 9 = extremely breathable fabric.

Care tips

Machine wash at 86°F. Synthetics cycle. Turn the article inside out. Use a minimal amount of laundry detergent. Do not use fabric softener. Line-dry in a warm, ventilated area. Do not tumble dry. Do not dry clean. Do not bleach. Do not place on a heater to dry.

A rating to compare our products' environmental impact

A product's environmental impact is calculated for its entire lifecycle using various indicators.

Products are then given an overall ABCDE rating to help you easily identify the ones with the best environmental performance (lowest impact) by comparing different products of the same type (T-shirts, bottoms, backpacks, etc.).

Decathlon voluntarily chooses to display the environmental ratings of its products.
