Sunny and 65 is a treat. The perfect weather for any ride. But the most memorable rides? Those are the ones with the sudden downpours, the unexpected stream crossings, roads that should be called trails and trails that shouldn't even exist.
On those rides, the Velocio Anorak performs at its best. Blurring the lines between gravel, ATB, and mountain bike, the Anorak is a go-anywhere outerlayer for the most extreme conditions.
Shop NowPertex Shield Air fabric is completely waterproof and windproof, while also being air-permeable. Translation: air can travel through the jacket, wicking away moisture and regulating temperature much more effectively than traditional waterproof membranes.
From racing (and winning) the 2023 Tour Divide, to bikepacking through Morocco, to surviving a British Winter or trail riding, the Anorak has a long list of accomplishments proving its durability and functionality.
The Anorak's pass-through front pocket preforms double duty with internal laser-cut perforations for increased ventilation.
Ulrich Bartholmoes won the 2023 Tour Divide. It was the first time he wore the Anorak. Correlation? Hard to say. Either way, Ulrich hasn't stopped wearing the Anorak since.
"I first wasn’t sure if I would like the Anorak because I thought I would prefer a rain jacket and I wasn’t sure about the hood, but it became my number one kit item on the Tour. I was wearing it also when it wasn’t raining at night, cause its so wind proof and the hood was so good – I'm totally in love with it."
