Frequently Asked Questions

How to wash a waterproof cycling jacket

If you don’t have time or energy to hand wash, put your bicycle jacket on a gentle machine wash at no more than 30 degrees temperature. Do not add washing detergent, as this could compromise the integrity of the seams. Allow the jacket to air dry - do not place it in a tumble dryer.

How should a cycling jacket fit?

If you purchase your jacket towards the end of summer in anticipation of cold weather riding ahead, remember to wear some other clothing underneath when trying it on. It might fit nicely when you’re wearing a summer t-shirt, but come the middle of winter when you’re wrapped in base layers etc, things might feel very different. You want the jacket to fit snugly all over, but allow you to comfortably move around. Too much roominess will create drag and bring in unwanted draughts! Read more at the Santini fit guide.
