Quality
Quality is without doubt one of the most important factors that we consider when buying bikes, parts, accessories or clothing. As you’d imagine it’s especially important when buying Jackets – Cycle. Let’s take at a look at the sort of things you can look at when trying to ascertain the quality of Northwave Rainskin Jacket.
The first thing is material. Looking at what Northwave Rainskin Jacket is made of will give you a really good idea of the quality overall. Take a look at the specs above and you should be able to see the material. It’s then up to you to decide if it meets your expectation.
Similarly you’ll also want to spend some time looking at the features too. Again the table above, listing the features will give you a really good overview. However you should think about the sort of features that you’d expect when buying new Jackets – Cycle. It’s worth writing a list of the “must-have” features so that you don’t end up compromising and missing some important features, or alternatively end up buying an unnecessarily high specced product.
There’s also a lot of merit in checking out the brand of the product and looking at the various brands that are selling Jackets – Cycle. Brands like Northwave are of courses extremely well respected in the cycling community so you know you’re getting a fantastic product with them. But if you’re undecided on your product you should write up a list of brands that you’d be happy to buy. It’s a great way of filtering and narrowing down the number of products when you’re searching.
Next up you’ll want to think about the price and use that as a guide to set your expectations of the quality. If you’re buying the cheapest of the options in the Jackets – Cycle category you should probably expect it to not be of as good quality as the most expensive. It sounds obvious of course. But this is where you can get a bit clever and use your combination of features, specs, materials and other factors to work together to get a really good quality product at the best price. We often draw up a list of “must-haves” and use these as filters when shopping online so that you’re only seeing products that meet your criteria. You can then sort by Price>Low to get the best deals.
Comparing Prices
Price, as you would imagine, is the most popular reason for someone buying one product over another. It is the single most important factor in choosing the majority of products we buy. The same goes for Jackets – Cycle.
It’s at this stage of the buying process, when you’re looking at different options, that you should set a budget. Do some research to understand how much roughly you can expect to pay for the sort of level of product that you’re looking for. Then match that to your own personal circumstance and how much you can afford to spend. This will really help you in narrowing down the right product for you.

Northwave Rainskin Jacket Reviews
Reading reviews is an amazing way of getting a good feel for a product without actually being able to try it or see it first.
There are two different types of reviews, and we also recommend reading both.
1. Expert reviews – In the cycle industry there are loads of really reliable trusted resources for expert reviews. For example if you’re looking to buy a new bike, BikeRadar Bike Reviews are great.
2. Customer reviews – these are probably your best resource for information. There’s no finances or influence involved, they’re purely just honest reviews from customers that have bought and used the product. The reason we love customer reviews so much is because no matter if their view is good or bad, there’s a very good chance that it will be honest and unbiased.
Our best advice is to head over to Chain Reaction Cycles and read the Northwave Rainskin Jacket reviews there.

- Description: Northwave Rainskin JacketIf you’re seeking protection from the rain when cycling but don’t want to sacrifice aerodynamics then the Northwave Rainskin Jacket is just what you need. Fast and dry performance on the bike.Rain jackets have traditionally been good at keeping the rain out but when it comes to the fit and hence aerodynamics they’ve left a lot to be desired, with poor fitting, flappy jackets a common sight. The Rainskin Jacket, however, has excellent waterproof performance while also offering a close and aerodynamic fit, saving energy and optimising your speed – ideal for racing and fast training sessions in the wet. The 2.5-ply construction features Northwave’s H2O Flex membrane giving you 10,000 mm waterproof protection and a four-way stretch for exceptional freedom of movement. Fully taped seams and DWR water repellent treatment ramp up the wet weather protection still further.Award-winning P4Dry™ printing process combined with S.Café® technology also sees the Rainskin dry rapidly, increasing comfort in showery conditions and it also feels great against the skin when compared to standard hardshell rain jackets. Breathability is also excellent and is enhanced by rear vents, letting warm damp air escape and evaporate away before it can cause a chill. Thanks to its packability it’s also a cycling jacket you’ll be able to take on every ride.
