Overview of the Revolution Race Cyclone Rescue Jacket.
This is a really durable and well made jacket. It’s not a heavy jacket (Medium weighing 680g) so can be packed in your bag. It will keep the wind and rain out, its breathable, plenty of pockets, adjustable hood so you can really hunker down away from the elements (I would have liked a wired rim on the hood as I like to shape the hood to my liking) but all in all this jacket has replaced my current waterproof jacket.
