Being a great fan of the DP system, as soon as I got a bicycle, I had to get one of these shirts. Although it looks unconventional, the shirt is very comfortable to wear. Having it fasten between the legs makes single handed operation of the side vents much easier, without needing to stop. A word of caution though; if the shirt is too big the side zips are hard to operate with just one hand, but this is not a problem if the shirt is a snug fit. Initially, I thought the internal waist strap might be placed a little too high, but it actually helps to keep the lower part of the shirt from riding up – important for comfort. Perfect for when I go riding with my young son and I’m not as active as normal, or in freezing temperatures.
I have been using the cycle shirt for 3 winters and have finally got around to writing a review. This is a excellent bit of kit. I use it on my commute to work 2 hours cycling in any weather. I find it best worn next to skin, it keeps me warm and dry in snow wind or heavy rain. You do need to keep moving for the system to keep you dry as the jacket need your body warm to work.
It has some great features. Reflective strip. Large pockets on the rear.excellent fit.
The side ventilation allows you to regulate your body temperature. This is a serious winter jacket and for me the temperature has to be below 5 before I start wearing it. Maybe 7 if it’s raining. And when it’s raining and damp the jacket really comes into its own.
The only small improvement I would make is a longer front zip as this is the easiest way to regulate your temperature when on the move.
It’s my favourite bit of cycling kit.
I have one of these still in perfect condition after approx 18 years of use, i agree with the reviews above in the best way to use it.
The best bit of cycling gear I have ever used, I used to use it in all conditions from freezing snowy conditions to pouring winter rain and it never let me down, always warm and dry.
Best winter cycling jacket I have ever owned. Since i bought one 2 years ago, it has immesuarble improved my daily cycle commute in the winter. Has survived snow, sleet, rain and cars. Good bright fabric so easily seen by other road users. Always arrive at work warm and dry.
Had my previous buffalo jacket for 15+ years and loved it, just don’t know where it went! Decided to get into cycling, summer on the bike was great but then as the weather turned for Autumn and it got too cold for cycling clothing, I was taking the car to work more often than I wanted and I wasn’t getting out on the bike at all so a new jacket was obviously needed. Being a fan of the Buffalo jackets already I’d already seen the Buffalo Cycling Jacket and got that. Price for me wasn’t a concern as I know I’m going to have it for god knows how long so to me it’s worth every penny. I can honestly say I don’t need to worry about how cold/wet it is, as long as its not slippy I’m out on the bike. Even on warmer days it feels nice too, open the side vents, with nothing underneath and you get a nice breeze that feels great. I small bug bear of mine is my neck gets cold easily, this jacket has a high collar which is great for me. And I hate it when my top rides up my back!! The strap between your legs stops this too. Overall opinion: fantastic product and worth every penny.
