Got a rad box of goodies from AeroTech Designs, and they make some really rad cycling gear. Today we're going to talk about one of their jackets and a pair of their cold tights.

 

The jacket: Aero Tech's Windproof Thermal Cycling Jacket
This is the warmest cycling jacket I've worn to date. Hands down.

Windproof for one to stop the gusts, and a fleece inside to keep you warm and cozy. Also has a high neck, and made of a three-layered breathable fabric, so you're good to go.

I love that it's slim fitting and it has a drop tail in the back to cover your behind. It's also got more pockets than you'll know what to do with- three on the inside, three on the outside, and the latter are zippered.

It's lightweight, has a nylon outer shell with a shock cord to tighten the waist when needed. Reflective tubing on the back to keep you safe. But one of the best features on this jacket are the spandex cuffs inside the sleeves to keep the cold out. Perfect!

The only potential downside is that it zips on the opposite side, but being a lefty it was easy to get used to. No big deal. And I wish there was a hood, but other than that it's a pretty perfect jacket.

The zippers are all tough as nails, and so is the fabric. Hasn't ripped or torn like another jacket that I reviewed recently... These guys are worth checking out- they make everything under the sun for men, women, children, big/tall, and everything in between.

There's only a couple months left of winter, but this coat is totally worth it. And we all know it will snow again next year. This is really a great, affordable cold weather cycling jacket.

 

The Tights: AeroTech's Thermal Stretch Fleece Exercise Pants

Tight yet stretchy, beefy, and super comfy. These are rated for 45 degrees, but I've been riding in the 30's and have been finding these to be great (although their riding pants look WAY killer...).

These zip at the ankle for easy on & off and also have reflective piping on each side of the zipper for safety.

It features a higher waist with a drawstring, but they stay up just fine without it, but either way, no crack shall be exposed!

With five thread construction, these are pretty tough. It's a fabric called zirotek that was modeled after the same way Polar Bear fur works!

Excellent at moisture wicking and abrasion resistance too, and as an added bonus there's an internal pocket in the rear for your phone, ipod, gels, or whatever you like to pocket.

Also a great price at $45.95, these are really worth checking out!

Function & fashion on both counts.
