Best Cycling Jackets for Men of 2025

"I wear this jacket for outdoor exercise, mostly running and walking. I'm very pleased with the fit and function. This jacket is very waterproof and dependable even in heavy rain. Although the fabric doesn't seem breathable, the back vent works well enough. I appreciate the high visibility color for jogging at dusk to be visible to drivers."

"I bought this jacket to keep in my bike bag in case the weather turns south during my ride. It’s super packable and keeps me very dry. I originally ordered a medium but re-ordered a large for a better fit. I'm 5'10" and 145 lbs with slightly wide shoulders. Pros include being bright and visible for bike commuting, and its small size makes it fit nicely in my bag. However, it’s not the most breathable, so I recommend sizing up if you plan to wear layers underneath."

"I ran in this jacket during 60°F rain and all winter down to -10°F as a wind-blocking shell. It’s 100% waterproof and wind-proof, though the breathability isn't perfect. The rear vent helps a lot. I’ve found this jacket much more comfortable for winter riding compared to a winter jacket. Just wish they made one without a hood, as it can block vision when worn under a helmet."

"I really like this jacket. It's warm, stylish, and fits well. The high-viz elements make it perfect not just for biking but as my go-to winter jacket."

"I've been using this jacket while cycling in Indiana's winter. It offers great wind protection and thermal comfort. I've managed to wear multiple layers without overheating, even in 16°F!"

"This jacket is fantastic for my runs. It has warm pockets and effective vents, showing its versatility for cycling too."

"I bought this jacket for cold weather rides. It arrived exactly as described. It's very warm with nice details. I got the bright green/black for great visibility and reflective details. The fleece lining is comfortable, but as another reviewer mentioned, it might be almost too warm for cool rides. Overall, I'm very happy with it."

"I've been using this jacket almost daily for over a month, and it has performed flawlessly. The visibility and reflectivity are excellent. It's not completely waterproof, but it's close. I've worn it in temperatures ranging from 50°F to 25°F and have stayed comfortable. The only small issue is that the vents can be tricky to open while riding, but that's minor."

"I got this for cold weather running, and it is FANTASTIC! Today, in teens temperatures and wind chill near zero, I felt nothing with a Merino layer underneath. The jacket is also washer friendly, which is a bonus!"

"I am 5'10'' and 196 lbs, and I usually wear a large jacket. However, based on other reviews, I opted for an XL to accommodate layers for the cold southeastern Michigan winters. It fits well, though the sleeves are slightly long. I've ridden in temperatures from 45 to 30 degrees Fahrenheit, and I've never felt too cold or hot, thanks to its great breathability. The jacket has many pockets that easily fit my phone and wallet. Although I wish it had a brighter color for safety, I'm very happy with my purchase and would buy it again!"

"At 6' and 195 lbs, I found the XL to fit perfectly while still allowing for some extra room. I've ridden in chilly 35 to 45 degrees with rain and wind, and this jacket has kept me warm, thin, and lightweight. I highly recommend pairing it with the pants for a complete look!"

"I needed a winter cycling jacket without spending too much, and this one exceeded my expectations! I'm 5'6” and about 155 lbs, and I went with a medium. It fits my hips perfectly, although the shoulders are a bit oversized. Still, it's incredibly warm and waterproof, and the pockets are super handy for both road and mountain biking. I wear it all the time, even off the bike!"

"I love my Baleaf summer gear for its top quality and reasonable prices. I ordered a cold weather jacket, and it arrived quickly. On a chilly Iowa fall day, it kept the wind out perfectly while I wore just a t-shirt underneath. I'm 6' and 175 lbs, and the large size fit comfortably, allowing me to layer if needed. The orange color is highly visible, and I would highly recommend this jacket."

"I was pleasantly surprised by how well this jacket fits. At 6'2" and 175 lbs, the large size is perfect. It's well-made with a windproof layer and mesh areas for cooling. While biking in 40-degree weather, I warmed up quickly with just one underlayer. Above 50 degrees, it feels great alone, and the pockets are handy for my phone and water bottle. Overall, I'm very satisfied with this stylish and functional jacket."

"As someone who commutes by bike in winter, I bought this jacket for its warmth. My chest size is 48", so I ordered an XXL to accommodate layers. The fit and style are great, but I found it less breathable than pricier jackets. Still, it keeps me warm on 20-degree mornings, though it can get a bit hot above 50 degrees. I definitely recommend it for its wind protection."

"I’m blown away by this jacket. The Hi-Viz Yellow color is exactly what I wanted, and I've received several compliments about it. It’s perfect for my daily 10k walks in mid 30-40 degree weather. The three-layer design really keeps me warm, and the wind protection makes it much more comfortable than my old hoodie. I recommend this for anyone looking for a lightweight 3-season jacket for outdoor activities."

"I bought this jacket about a month ago and have run in it around 10 times. It’s an excellent value and fits perfectly, though it runs a bit small. It was a bit too warm in the 30s, but once it dropped to the 20s, it was just right with only a base layer. The visibility is amazing, and for the price, I believe you won’t find a better running jacket for cold temps. Highly recommended!"

"I initially loved this jacket, especially when the temperatures were in the 60-70 degree range. However, as it got cooler, I found it doesn’t keep me warm enough in the 50-60 degree temps due to the stretchy panels that let in too much wind. I’m disappointed but will keep it for warmer days. I also found the sizing to be a bit tricky; I had to order an XL to fit comfortably around my middle."

"I'm from Northern NY/Vermont, and I wore this jacket on a 4-hour ride in November. At 36°F, it was fine with just a long sleeve jersey underneath. However, by 50°F, I was sweating a lot. The jacket is nice for cold, dry weather, but I wouldn’t recommend it for humid conditions. I’m 5'10" and 174lbs, and the fit was a little big, but overall, it’s well made and reminds me of Gore Windstopper."

"I bought this jacket for winter riding below 40°F. It does an amazing job at keeping the wind out. However, during a 31 miles ride in the rain at 39°F, it absorbed water and wasn't great when wet. If I wear a waterproof windbreaker over it, then it works well in the rain. The fit is perfect for me, and it has great pocket space, just be careful with your phone since the pockets aren't water resistant."

"I’ve been using my Przewalski Cycling Bike Jacket for a few months now and I really like it. I chose the blue with orange trim and it looks good. The jacket is longer in the back, which covers my jeans' pockets. It's comfortable, with snug sleeves that prevent cold wrists. I wear it below 45°F with a sweatshirt underneath, and it’s great for three-season use. I highly recommend it!"

"I absolutely love this jacket. It's quality-made, lightweight, and fits great. The sleeves zip off, making it a versatile and practical choice!"

"I chose this windbreaker for biking and hiking. It’s surprisingly water-resistant, even in steady rain, without being rated as waterproof. The breathability is impressive, which is crucial when I'm active."

"This jacket looks fantastic, but I found that it runs a bit small. I usually wear an XL, and it feels a little tight."

"I’m 6' and weigh 165 pounds; the medium fits perfectly. The arms are a bit long, which is great for cycling, but not a deal breaker. I'm amazed by the jacket's quality and warmth. I've only needed a t-shirt underneath in temperatures below 30°F. However, it can get too warm above 35°F. The inside pockets are huge, and I use them for hand warming during breaks. The right zipper sometimes jams, but it's a minor issue considering the windproof feature. Overall, this jacket beats most expensive brands easily."

"I ordered this jacket for cooler weather cycling, opting for men's large. At 5'7", 38W, 43 chest, it fits nicely without being baggy. I've used it three times and appreciate the freedom of movement and wind blocking. It's still early in the season, but I think it will perform well in the fall and winter. The reflective trim is a great addition, making it a fantastic value overall."

"I bought this jacket for running in colder weather, having worn it for four runs in the 30's°F. It's inexpensive, well-stitched, and has large pockets. I felt warm but not overheated. I'm 6'2", 155 lbs, and the Medium fits almost perfectly; however, I wish the sleeves were a bit longer. Wearing more reflective gear is advisable, but the jacket itself is solid."

"I found that the sizing is WAY off. I'm usually a Large/XLarge, but I had to return the XL for an XXL, which I never wear. Aside from that, it's a good value for a winter biking jacket."

"This jacket fits perfectly for my needs. It keeps me warm during warm-ups and isn't too heavy for the rest of my ride. I appreciate how well it works for varying temperatures."

"I've had this jacket for almost a year, and I've used it for about three months. It keeps me warm and has a good amount of pockets. However, the main front zipper has failed, and I can’t zip it up anymore, which is a bit disappointing."
