When it comes to wind and water-resistance, cyclists' choices tend to be limited to graphically overwrought bike-specific jackets or casual, everyday jackets that are ill-equipped for riding. Giro's 3-1 Wind Jacket combines the function of the former with the simple aesthetics of the latter to create a jacket that blocks wind but lets you fly under the radar when you stop for a mid-ride coffee or are out running errands on the bike.

The 3-1 Wind Jacket is made from a 15 denier, 100% nylon ripstop material that, as a discerning reader like yourself has no doubt surmised, shields against the wind. It also resists water, a quality that's further complemented by the waterproof zippers. Despite these protective qualities, the jacket is lightweight and stowable, so you can pack it and use it only when necessary. The fit of the jacket is also designed to accommodate layering, so you can add insulation as conditions require.

The zippers themselves are worth dwelling on, as they enjoy the three-in-one function that gives the 3-1 Jacket its name. The zippers extend from the front, where you'd expect a jacket's pockets to be, up to the underarms and then down to the elbows. This checks three boxes: providing access to storage pockets, a warming little home for your hands, and ventilating openings on the side and under the arms so you don't overheat and arrive at your destination dripping with clamminess.

The Men's Giro 3-1 Wind Jacket is available in five sizes ranging from Small to XX-Large in the colors Glowing Red, Jet Black, and Pewter.
