We thought Nalini’s Succiso waterproof jacket was going to be all about seeing your team colours and not much else, but the cut is fantastic. It’s very slim fitting, but the ergonomically shaped sleeves follow the line of your arm in the riding position exactly, and stretch inserts mean there’s no restriction to movement at all.
The lightweight fabric does have a rubbery feel on the inside, but it’s not uncomfortable. Storage is minimal, with just a small mobile phone pocket, so it’s not one for the fells in February, but for team racing when you usually freeze rather than cover your jersey, it’s a good steal from the roadies.
