In addition to the two hand-warmer pockets and two horizontal zippered chest pockets, the Storm also has two smart interior pockets both with closures to hold onto phones and wallets while riding.
With all those pockets the jacket still sports a flattery profile, with a multi-position hem adjustment for tailoring the fit.
A bi-swing feature gives the jacket great mobility on the bike, and pre-articulated sleeves mean it will be comfortable while piling on summer miles.
This new jacket comes in a rich brown colorway and we are happy to add a full size run of the Summer Storm jacket to our collection.
