Composition: 76% Polyamide / 12% Elastane / 12% ePTFEMade in IT
Caring for your cycling gear properly will extend its life and maintain its performance, fit and quality. Its 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. Youll find that your apparel will soften, and fit & comfort will improve after washing - especially with bibs & shorts.
Machine wash cool, 86F (30C) 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. Dont 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 jackets fit?
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.

Too icy to ride so haven't tested yet, so this is a fit review. I normally wear a large jersey but got the XL in the jacket based on reviews, velocio feedback, and desire to be able to fit a couple layers underneath. This was the right choice. Plenty of room in arms and shoulders. Fit across bust tight, as expected for cycling top. A large would have been too small at the hips, so glad I went with an XL Fabric and color are beautiful. Looking forward to trying out.
Perfect for NorCal winters. Warm, breathable, and still sleek. Have worn it in rain and chilly weather and be totally comfortable throughout my ride. Contemplating buying in another color.
I needed a windproof jacket that could repel a bit of water, but without insulation. Pockets were a must and, of course, comfort. The ticks all the boxes and I could not be happier. I will say that I agree about the hip being a bit snug, but the extra room across the shoulders and chest are not an issue for me (though others noted this as a drawback) and actually assist with accommodating a midlayer and increasing mobility/reach. The fabric overall has a good stretch factor. The elastic wrist is perfect and not irritating and the two way zipper is clutch for ventilation. I purchased a medium and my stats are 5’ 7” / 133lbs / 32” chest / 29” waist / 38” hip
Fantastic product! Warmth with no bulk and resistant to rain. For reference, 5’2”, 108 lbs.
Overall, I love this jacket and have worn it many times this winter. I like the cycling specific sleeve cut, the soft brushed interior, the wrist cuff, the pockets, the 2-way zip, and the color. I wore this for Barry-Rubaix (low 30s, no sun, wet and windy) with only a lightweight baselayer under and it was perfect. I wish the fit was more consistent with other Velocio products. I am 5'5" 175lbs, and have a Velocio jersey in a large and wind jacket in a medium that both fit me very well. This jacket is tighter around my stomach than either, and then has bunchy, extra fabric from my ribs and up (size C cup, so pretty small-to-average). It's not uncomfortable enough to stop wearing, but sometimes I have to unzip from the bottom a bit. For reference, I have wide hips, but don't carry much weight in my stomach.
