9 Best Bike Commuter Jackets

[Laughter], some of you are fair or like me, you bought a bike over the summer and then reality set in you live in a state that gets all four seasons and you have to make a decision, or are you going to clean your bike store for the winter or or are you gonna ride it through the winter, like a nomad ride, baby ride, snow ish? What I found to get me through the winter so far, my first piece of gear that I needed for my upper body, because in between my upper body and my feet or the only two things I am missing so far from years of hiking and camping through the winter, already already have a lot of base layers to to deal with my leg situation.

But my upper body challenge. This is what I found I found this on Amazon for about $33 I will put the name up here, because I cannot pronounce it. I have seen other people talk about this jacket or from this brand they all pronounce it differently. So it won’t be the person. That’s messing up. You won’t get me that way, but this jacket is really nice. It’s a shell material.

It has some reflective points in clue. You know some on the front two on the shoulder one decent one on the back: it’s a shell material. It has one pocket in front one pocket in back no pockets on the inside. It is a it is a water-resistant tutorial, I’m, really I’m, not sure what how long you can ride this before it starts to fail. Everything fails, no matter what it has a fleece lining in it.

Let’s jump back to the outside the outside is it’s two different materials. It has two orange high-vis material and it has this synthetic synthetic it stretchy stuff, the stretchy stuff, so the material is polyester, and this is a polyester spandex blend, there’s fleece, on the inside overall. For this it’s cheap jacket, the stitching is pretty good. I am six.

Three fish really fits really well, it really does fit really well so the arms or for me to have such a wide wingspan that they fit really nice. The jacket itself – my gut. It’s it’s pretty good and boy. It’s kind of warm in this house and it’s cool sitting. It is gonna, have me sweaty so back at it. The jacket feels really good. This is the breathable part.

Then this I get. It was so you don’t over here just to let heat out when I was right and I promise. I did not feel any I didn’t feel this to be a weak point. At all, I mean it was. It worked really really well I did it? Would it performed really really well there I have no complaints so far about this J I just found that this pocket right here it starts off smooth, but then it gets a little rough right here.

I, don’t know why I can’t really see what the issue is. Maybe it’ll looks like a maybe it’ll get better feels like he’s getting a little better. No, it just seems like the t4n lining up correctly, so quality control isn’t the best. Needless to say, this isn’t a paid sponsor I’m not being paid by this company to talk about it at all. So I can give me I can say whatever I want to say about the stuff no one’s gonna get back to getting.

Maybe if I said the zippers, the zippers seem to be like that. Maybe the weakest point in this jacket other than that is toasty warm 33, 33 degree fahrenheit weather, to prove that point, at least to myself that it works really well there.

Driving with cold and wet hands and feet, it’s really uncomfortable and you end up not riding as long because you’re just miserable in this video I’m, going to take a look at two products from showers paths that promise to solve that problem. They’re waterproof, knit gloves and socks find out what I think in the video welcome back pathless peddlers and, if you’re new to the channel. If you’re looking for information and inspiration that about bike travel, bike, touring, bike packing and bike fishing and definitely subscribe, this channel is for you I recently got a package from showers pass with a couple of their new winter products and two products really bubbled up to the surface, and that is their waterproof gloves and socks.

So I’m going to just jump right in and give you guys my first impressions of the gloves and socks so far as well as some of the things I like and some things I dislike about them. So I’m going to start off by talking about the socks. First off, they look and feel like regular socks. So you no longer have that feeling of a neoprene bootie with some kind of weird fabric. On top of them, they actually look and feel like regular socks. So these socks are actually the second iteration of their waterproof socks and even over that version, this is a big improvement.

They’re softer. They just feel more. Like socks, they’re less plasticky, we didn’t really think they could improve on the first version, but they did another thing. You’ll notice is they actually have some give and stretch to them like real socks, so you’re not locked into like this kind of weird plastic bag feeling thing they’re, also a lot more fluid and easier to get on and off. They feel less like you’re, putting on a big neoprene bootie and more like just like I, said a regular sock.

I will say that the fit of the sock is a touch on the snug side, I’m solidly a size, 9 foot and the medium /. Large version of the sock was just about spot-on, if not slightly on the snug side. So definitely keep that in mind. If you want to layer with a under sock or have a particularly wide feet, I’d consider sizing up. So if you’ve never put on a waterproof sock before the experience is I have to say kind of strange at first, especially if you’re standing in cold running water, it feels like you’re getting wet feet, but we’re actually feeling is just the coldness and when you take your foot out, it’s completely dry and it’s the most bizarre thing ever so.

I’ve used these socks on a couple bike rides couple trail runs and hikes and I’m digging them so far. I don’t find them overly sweat inducing, as you would expect from something that is waterproof. I do feel that they are fairly breathable in that respect, for biking, I feel like the sweet spot in terms of temperature is around the 40s and 50s any warmer. You might sweat more and any colder. It might not provide enough warmth. That’s primarily for biking on hikes and trail runs I’ve found that you could actually push it down a little bit lower into the upper thirties and still be good to go.

So now. Let’s move on to the gloves and just like the socks, these gloves have a amazing knit feel and they really don’t feel like any different from your regular knit gloves. There might be a sense of a little bit more structure and that’s from the waterproof membrane, but otherwise to the touch. It feels just like a regular knit glove and like the socks I found that the sweet spot in terms of bicycling is about 50s and rain for these and rain below that you’re kind of pushing it just because there isn’t that much insulation, but again for an activity like trail running or hiking.

We’re not creating a lot of your own windchill that you can definitely take it down lower one thing I really like about the gloves is despite the fact that it has a waterproof membrane in there. You have good dexterity so on the bike, no problems shifting and I’ve actually used the gloves, while fishing. So, while fishing I found that the gloves maintained their dexterity, I was able to fish successfully manage lion, do roll casts and double hauls without the gloves feeling like they were interfering, I found when I was fishing with larger flies like streamers and tying.

You know kind of easier, simpler knots, the gloves weren’t a problem, but when dealing with smaller dry flies, I did have to take the gloves off to tie the knots. There would be a couple more features, I’d like to see for this to be a fishing specific love and it’s primarily kind of a longer gauntlet style glove, and this is because, if you’re going to land fish or you drop something in the water, like you do when you’re fishing, it would be nice to be able to reach down a little bit deeper without going over the cuff of the glove and getting your hands wet.

But again, that’s on my wish list for a fly-fishing, specific glove. I think the same could be said in terms of a fishing specific knit waterproof sock I’d want it a little bit higher, maybe slightly below the knee, so that I can wade out just a little bit deeper without getting my feet wet. So that’s it for the general features overview and my general kind of likes about both the socks and the gloves. There are a couple minor dislike and specifically with the glove whatever a rubber grippy material that they use does not play well with smartphones.

So you do have to take the glove off to navigate your iPhone or your Android phone or whatever, and well last point about the gloves. If you are gonna use it for an activity like fishing, the heat, the knit material does tend to be a little bit snaggy, but that would be the case with any knit glove. So definitely be aware of that. If you’re gonna use it for multiple sports other than that, that’s really it for the dislikes the socks, I’m, absolutely loving and having no problems with it’s really going to be a matter of how long it keeps its waterproofness.

It’s really kind of hard to determine in just a couple of weeks of youth. So if you’re looking for a waterproof glove and sock that doesn’t feel like a plastic bag, then definitely check out these offerings from showers. Past I think the thing I love about the most other than what they’re waterproofness is that they’re great for multi-sport activities for biking for fishing for trail running for hiking, because they don’t look sport specific, so I think it’s definitely a great piece gear to have in your arsenal, especially if you’d like to just generally play outdoors and want to keep your feet and your hands dry and warm.

So I may update this video in a couple weeks after I get a better sense of durability, but so far I’m loving them I think you guys should get them. If you guys have any specific questions, leave those in the comments section below and if you liked the video you know what to do. Don’t forget to subscribe, and thanks for watching.
