Designed for temperatures from freezing (or lower when paired with Alpha Long Sleeve) to 50°F/10°C and capable of warding off all but the most torrential downpours.
WATER RESISTANCEThe Softshell Jacket draws on over six years of development, refinement and testing to create a winter jacket versatile enough to meet the needs of the most demanding cyclist and cover a broad range of temps and conditions. We started with an entirely new pattern and fit, working to balance a trim, flap-free fit, with room to layer and full mobility and comfort.
We drew inspiration from touring motorcycle jackets and their shaped sleeves, articulated shoulders/chest and curved back. The result is a silhouette that effortlessly fits in the riding position.
We partnered with eVent, a leader in high performance membranes, to develop our proprietary three-layer softshell, incorporating their Direct Vent stretch membrane with Primaloft performance yarn backer and durable stretch woven and DWR treated face. The result is a truly breathable softshell that has the ability to manage moisture and keep the internal climate warm, but dry -- a critical equation for long winter miles. Designed for temperatures from freezing to 50F/10C and capable of warding off all but the most torrential downpours, thanks to it’s 10K waterproof membrane, it’s a one-jacket solution to winter riding. And, by combining the Softshell with our Alpha Long sleeve, the two-piece system easily covers the bravest of souls comfortably down to the single digits (without the risk of breaking a sweat).
VELOCIO RETURN POLICY
The Velocio Signature Guarantee underscores our mission to create a better cycling experience. We believe that riding in our gear is the best proof of our commitment to quality and performance. Therefore, we stand behind everything we make. Try any of our products for 30 days to ensure it meets your needs. Wear it. Ride in it. Wash it. We believe it will provide a better riding experience. If you are not 100% satisfied with your Velocio product, you may return it within 30 days of receiving the product.
See our complete return policyCaring for your cycling gear properly will extend its life and maintain its performance, fit and quality. It’s important to consider these instructions carefully. While we stand behind the quality of our apparel, not adhering to these instructions will void our warranty against manufacturing & defects.
We strongly recommend washing your new gear before wearing it. You’ll find that your apparel will soften, and fit & comfort will improve after washing - especially with bibs & shorts.
Machine wash cool, 86°F (30°C) with like colors: Cooler temps maintain better longevity for your apparel. Like colors, especially lights, will remain more vibrant when washed with like colors.
Use mild detergent. Do not bleach or dry clean: Strong detergents & bleach can break down the fibers and elastane in the garment, dramatically reducing its life.
Close all fastenings: this goes also for other garments mixed in with your cycling apparel. Velcro closures or clasps can catch on stitching or trim and damage your garments.
Lay flat to dry. Do not tumble dry: Do not put your cycling apparel in the dryer. Even on low heat. Don’t do it. Heat can damage fabric, elastic and heat transfer logos very easily. Lycra (Elastane) is used throughout our garments to provide compression and support and is susceptible to damage from heat and can irreparably damage your apparel.
How do your vests fit?
Our vests are patterned for the riding position, with a tighter fit across the chest and an arm opening with a more forward position. This is intentional to reduce flapping and extra fabric across the chest while riding. When standing, the vest will feel tight across the chest and torso. This piece should fit tight over your jersey (with enough room for a long sleeve and base layer), and shouldn’t appear baggy. We select fabrics that have some elasticity to allow for freedom of movement even with a tailored fit to accommodate some range of fit within each size.
How do your jackets fit?
Similar to our vests, our jackets are patterned in the riding position, with a tight fit across the chest and arms with a more forward position. This is intentional to reduce flapping and extra fabric across the chest while riding. When standing, the jacket will feel tight across the chest, shoulders and torso. The arm length might appear long as well. However, the intended fit is tailored for on-the-bike positioning where the shoulders and torso no longer feel tight and the extra arm length hits the wrists in the appropriate spot. Constructed without extra fabric to flap around - it should fit tight over your jersey (with enough room for a long sleeve and base layer), but shouldn’t appear baggy. We select fabrics that have some elasticity to allow for freedom of movement even with a tailored fit to accommodate some range of fit within each size.
Our jerseys and bib shorts are intended to be form fit, providing compressive support, maximizing performance of the fabrics, and reducing fatigue and chafing. Due to the compressive nature of the fabrics, you will be able to fit into more than one size. Please use the charts below to help determine your optimum size:

United StatesI wanted a lightweight wind jacket and this is perfect! I am 5’”5 and 165 lbs, and medium fits me well with just enough room for a baselayer. My only complaint is that there is just a side pocket and with a phone and ride wallet in it, it flips down a bit and doesn’t stay in place. I’d prefer if it had standard jersey pockets, as i find it comfortable to wear with a base layer tee. Other than that, it’s a perfect jacket!
United StatesPerfect fit and very comfortable. It’s just the right weight for a chilly day here in NorCal. Not too warm or too cold. Love the color too! Very visible.
United StatesI haven't ever found a riding soft shell jacket that was actually both water resistant and breathable. I have am so excited to have finally found one that does both - I am not a soft shell convert. Last weekend I wore this jacket, paired with the signature long sleeve jersey - 42 degrees, overcast, light rain, 30 miles of mountain biking with 4500 ft of climbing - and stayed warm the entire ride. I love the two way zipper feature, unzip from the top and bottom when climbing and quickly and easily zip it back up when descending - so good. The big, deep pockets are perfect for snacks, extra gloves or a rain jacket, just I case. So stoked to have this for the winter season ahead.
United StatesFirst, I want to say that I love Velocio bib shorts! They are literally all I wear to ride anymore, having collected several pair now. With that said, I think Velocio needs to seek out some different size/height models to get a better fit for tops, particularly for larger sizes. I have tried a few times and seem to fail each time I buy vests/jackets. I have been a cyclist for nearly two decades and my body has not changed. Some of us are just larger (and in my case, also shorter). I appreciate so very much that this company is trying to support and provide great products for larger cyclists too, but there's just something that isn't quite clicking. I wanted so desperately for this jacket to work as I need one for riding in the cold, and it doesn't, sadly. I size on the very top end of an XL (per the size chart), but have larger hips, so I usually size up to an XXL. I bought this in an XXXL, knowing that I have had issues in the past, and it still doesn't fit. The arms are amazingly large (as they probably should be for this size), but everything else fits like a tight XL. There is no way I could layer with this and cannot even wear it alone because it won't go over my backside. :( Ugh. My guess is that smaller models are being used and then pieces are made larger for the bigger sizes, but it doesn't always work that way. Anyway, the fabric itself is fantastic and I think it would be great if I could wear/use it, but I have to send it back. I'm giving two stars (instead of one) because the fabric seems great, the length seems appropriate, and I have faith that Velocio can get this right in the future (fingers crossed!).
Thanks for reaching out! I'm sorry to hear this garment did not meet your expectations! While all of our sizes are tested extensively with individuals who fit within our sizing guides for each size, so I can confirm that this particular garment is a result of feedback from other customers as well as our ambassadors who wear this size, I will absolutely provide this feedback to our product team asap as this level of feedback is incredibly valuable to us! If helpful, part of the fit discrepancy here might be covered by our FAQ on our vests & jackets, where these are designed specifically for performance on the bike: "How do your vests fit?

United StatesBeing 5’2” it is often hard to find a jacket well proportioned to my stature. This one fits the bill in every way. I was initially unsure if the XS was the right fit but one ride made me a believer. Warm and light its the perfect shell layer for early spring rides when chilly temperatures linger well into midday here in Napa Valley. Love it.
