Cool mornings and changing weather: how the Corbah CxM jacket vents as you warm up, and what to wear under it.

Fall and spring rides start cold and end warm. A heavy winter jacket is too much by the second hour, and a jersey alone is too little at the start. A lightweight jacket that vents is the answer.

The CxM jacket

The CxM jacket is red, with a black zip and a yellow-lined collar, and it's made for rides between 40 and 65°F (4 to 18°C).

Built to vent

  • A two-way zipper: the medium-heavy double zip opens from either end, so you can vent as you warm up without the jacket flapping around.
  • Zipped side vents: they cool you down, and let you reach your jersey pockets.
  • A rear vent: a horizontal vent across the back lets air out without letting rain in.

What to wear with it

Underneath, a Prime base layer keeps sweat off your skin. Below, Stealth bib shorts or any black bib shorts. When it warms past 65°F, swap the jacket for a vest: see vests and jackets and what to wear cycling at every temperature.

The CxM gives a snug fit, and its sizes go by weight as well as height, so check the chart on the jacket's page and our size guide. If you get it wrong, keep it: within 15 days of delivery you can order the same item in another size at about 20–60% off.
