Cleverhood Anorak rules foul weather with fashion and function

The cool and rainy weather can send a lot of different looks at us cyclists — rain, sleet, wind, sun, a barrage of falling acorns. It’s hard to find a jacket that covers all the bases. Thankfully, there is the Cleverhood Anorak.

This is one well-crafted garment from the perfectly crafted rain hood to the oversized front pouch pocket for shoving all manner of items from gloves to sunglasses with a tiny perfect separate zippered area for dry storage.

It’s also constructed with extra length at the back to keep the keister dry and comfortable on those rainy rides. There is plenty of room in the shoulders for ease of movement while active with a waterproof and breathable two-layer material that won’t leave you a sweaty mess at the end.

The Cleverhood Anorak is built for layering, too. A fall riding essential. Of course, it’s not just for cycling. This is a stylish rain jacket for all your wet and wonderful occasions that comes in a range of fetching shades from Randy Red to Pluto Blue. There’s a reason Wired magazine named this gem its top jacket for biking. It’s pretty perfect.

We love that the fully seam-sealed Anorak, $119US, takes all of the best protective features of Cleverhood’s iconic capes, and combines them with the utility of a great fall jacket.
