Mavic Sprint Thermo Jacket review

A quality softshell is a crucial piece of kit if you want to remain warm and comfortable whilst cycling in the winter months. To perform well, a softshell has to be windproof, but also breathable, allowing your perspiration to escape. So how well does the Mavic Sprint Thermo Jacket perform?

Cycling Weekly Verdict

Overall, this is great winter softshell. It breathes well, keeps you warm, is comfortable and looks great. A lack of water resistance means that the jacket must be paired with a rain cape or hardshell in wet conditions. It does however lend itself to a wide range of temperatures.
