Those foxy folk at Vulpine have been busy... Hot on the heels of the latest HOY Vulpine launch comes the Nightfall, a waterproof, breathable jacket that features a unique reflective print to aid visibility as we roll into autumn.
Designed for city cyclists with a view to staying visible while the nights are drawing in, the jacket features a reflective print that is both permanent and machine washable. It blends into the jacket in daytime and pings out at night - much like an urban fox appearing at dusk to scavenge from discarded KFC boxes. Cunning Vulpine, cunning.
As usual with Nick Hussey's brand, comfort is given equal billing with style and performance: so the jacket is waterproof, breathable and windproof.
Venting under the arms allows a cooling airflow to prevent overheating during a ride, while the close fitting neck prevents exposure to the wind and rain.
As for the pocket situation, Vulpine have it covered. A zipped outer chest pocket is perfect for keys or items you may need to access in a hurry, there's an internal chest pocket for the valuables you want to keep close, while two waterproof zipped hand pockets will keep your paws dry, as well as protecting your phone or other electronics.
A soft internal lining gives extra comfort, while shoulder pads prevent abrasion while carrying a backpack or bag. The sleeves have longer arms and an expanded upper back, as well as a scalloped wrist shape to give extra comfort when holding on to handlebars.
And the whole shebang is smartly tailored in the classical style that Vulpine followers have become addicted to. The Nightfall Jacket is available in navy or mandarin orange and in men's and women's cuts.
Priced at £195, you can pick up the Nightfall now from www.vulpine.cc.
