Garneau has long been proficient with quality wind and water resistant jackets that retain functionality and style off the bike, are packable, and more versatile than many cycling jackets. Which is why we brought in the Modesto Jacket, a lightweight, packable, option and is great to throw in your bag to pull out in case of an unexpected storm or when you stop generating heat from activity such as when pull off at a store, cafe or a trailhead. It’s a multipurpose, three season applicable piece with a moderated cycling cut that you can wear and layer for your cooler weather outings as well as running, cycling, hiking, or really any outdoors activity.
It offers great features like reflectivity in the front and rear for added visibility in low light conditions, an elastic waist with rear gripper, and mesh paneling on the sides for breathability. It’s a stylish piece that fits in at any café or store when you’re moving through your everyday life. While Garneau lists it as their standard fit, it may be a little more tapered than some, but still designed to be roomy enough while not billowing out on the bike. That is a hard balance to strike and fit a variety of body types, but again, this is something Garneau has traditionally managed quite well.
