SPORTFUL FIANDRE SHIFT Jacket Blue

The Jacket Sportful Fiandre Shift Jacket is a premium technical jacket designed for cyclists who refuse to let rain, wind or cold ruin their training. From the renowned Fiandre range (dedicated to the weather conditions of the Tour of Flanders classic), this jacket represents the ultimate mid-season and winter protection.

Its highly technical construction is based on a hybrid concept: it offers the waterproof and windproof protection of a heavy rain jacket, while retaining the breathability, flexibility and close fit of a thermal jersey. Thanks to its cutting-edge technical membranes, it perfectly shields you from the elements while efficiently wicking away body heat to prevent you from ending up soaked in sweat on the inside.

What temperatures is this jacket ideal for? The Fiandre Shift is extremely versatile. Depending on the technical base layer you wear underneath, it excels across a range from $0degreetext{C}$ to $12degreetext{C}$. With a thick merino wool thermal base layer, it handles the heart of winter. With a lightweight base layer, it is perfect for damp spring mornings.

Is it fully waterproof or just water-repellent? It uses highly waterproof membrane fabrics on the most exposed areas (chest and arms) combined with a durable water-repellent (DWR) treatment. It is designed to keep you dry for many hours in light to moderate rain. To optimise comfort and breathability during movement, not all seams are sealed as on a windproof jacket, which places it in the category of high-breathability protective jackets.

How does the Sportful Fiandre range fit? It has a Pro Fit cut (very close-fitting). It is cut for the cycling position (short at the front to avoid bunching at the stomach, long at the back to protect the lower back from wheel spray). If you have a climber's build, stick to your usual size. If you prefer a little more room to layer thick garments underneath, or if you have a broader frame, go up a size.
