Oneten Element Waterproof review
Oneten Element Waterproof works well as a cycling garment and as a casual wet weather proof jacket
We really liked the simplicity of this jacket, and the fact that, once you’ve got to work, it doesn’t look out of place on the lunchtime run to the shops in your civvies.

Works well as a cycling and casual jacket

No bum coverage

The only real giveaway that this isn’t simply a smart-looking, casual jacket is the subtle but capacious zipped pocket and pleated vent on the back, and two concealed zipped vents on the sides. For many, that’s no bad thing.
Some might consider it a little too black for the winter commute, and admittedly there isn’t a great deal in the way of reflective logos or piping to appease health and safety types.
But for those who prefer their cycling kit functional but understated, the stealthy Element at least offers excellent waterproofing and decent wind resistance. The casual style forgoes the drop tail of the more sporty garments on test, and the relaxed cut might not be to the taste of whippet-like racing folk.
