Albion Cycling, known for its robust cycling apparel, just announced its Winter 2024 lineup, with a full men’s and women’s drop, and one piece in particular caught our eye. The Zoa Mountain Jacket (£240) is an insulated riding jacket, meant for those cold desert sunsets and long, exposed wintery climbs.

The Pertex® Quantum face fabric provides excellent windproofing and is combined with Primaloft Gold Active Insulation, to retain maximum loft and warmth to weight by removing the need for stitched baffles. Using a synthetic insulation also means that the Mountain Jacket maintains its warmth even when wet, and has loft retention to withstand repeated packing and unpacking.
