British cycle clothing brand Vulpine has launched the Rainy City range.
The new line of urban cycle clothing is aimed at keeping riders dry, even in severe weather.
Vulpine has arranged the launch to coincide with what is statistically the wettest period of the year in Britain, with the average rainfall at its highest between October and February.
The centerpiece of the collection is the waterproof Deluge jacket, which the brand claims is designed to combine heavy-duty weatherproofing, with urban city style. Vulpine has constructed the jacket from a material that offers both 20k waterproofing and 20k breathability, and designed a venting system which allows riders to keep cool whilst riding.
Other features on the Deluge jacket include waterproof zipped pockets for storing valuables, reinforced shoulders to prevent wear from bag straps, and availability in either Mandarin or Charcoal colours.
Joining the jacket in the range are the tailored rain trousers, which are made from Italian Epic cotton. The wind and water resistant trousers have increased stretch and durability, with a cut designed specifically for cyclists.
Rounding off the range is Vulpine’s signature Harrington jacket, which is made from the same Italian Epic cotton, and which is water resistant even in heavy rain showers.
More information on the range can be found here.
