There’s nothing worse than being less than a mile into your ride and realising you’ve put the wrong jersey on. The sensible money says go home and change, but considering it’s taken you the best part of 30 minutes just to find all this winter clobber and then put it all on, there’s no way your bike is going homeward bound now.
So on you go, cursing the fact the wind is ripping through your ribcage, knowing that if you’d worn the Finchdean Long Sleeve Windproof Jersey you’d be (a) plenty warm enough and (b) not dreading the next 50 miles. Wrapped in the Finchdean, you’d feel nothing other than toasty and warm. The Windtex panelling does exactly what it promises to: keeps the wind out and your body warmth in. The result? 50 miles with a smile on your face.
Like all of the Finchdean gear, this jersey has a real performance feel to it. It is snug, well-fitting and not unnecessarily bulky like a lot of winter jerseys. Thermal stretch inserts on the side panels ensure your core stays well insulated and the triple layered Windtex membrane is both wind and water resistant. The longer length, elasticated cuffs are terrific and sit snugly under gloves while the fleece-lined collar – complete with zip garage – wraps warmly around your neck. The front zipper is lined with a space age-looking foil flap which helps keep the wind off your chest.
When it comes to pockets, it’s actually quite a challenge just trying to fill all the storage space the Finchdean has to offer. There’s a well-located zipped chest pocket for an MP3 player or keys, plus three roomy rear pockets, one of which has a good-sized zipped compartment for valuables. During winter rides – when fold-up waterproofs are must-haves – it’s often difficult cramming everything in, but the Finchdean houses it all without problems.
At this time of year, it’s important to wear gear you trust – and you can, without doubt, trust the Finchdean Long Sleeve Windproof. In fact, it’s probably the perfect jersey for a dry winter ride. That’s just as long as you remember to put it on in the first place…
