Howies Long Way Home jacket review
Lightweight reflective waterproof
GBP £195.00 RRP Skip to view deals
Published:
Howies top end bike waterproof uses C-Change reflex fabric on the arms and collar, which is fully reflective in car light but remains subtly black other wise. This is a great feature if you ride on the road as well. And it’s a great jacket, though it’s far from cheap.
It’s not as hefty as the Fusion or Navigator, so it offers a lighter weight all-round option at the top end. Schoeller’s C-Change material has a membrane that opens when you warm up, pulling heat and moisture to the outside to keep you dry.
As you’d expect for this price, it has taped seams, a soft collar and one-handed adjusters to seal you at the waist, along with waterproof zips.
