Tried & Tested: The Held 'Wet Tour' Jacket

Waterproofs come in all price ranges- but one thing I've discovered this year is worth paying extra as you get more quality, better features and often better material. Material that doesn't stick to your clothes when you remove it and doesn't make you sweat like crazy.

The Held Wet Tour Jacket in Black/Yellow, Black/Orange, Black/Grey at £84.99 is an absolute tip-top piece of kit. Don't take our word for it though- We supplies these to our friends at RideWithUs Tours who have tested these across Europe, and all that Europe can throw at them! That's 1000s of miles so you can be sure this jacket will work for you. 

Here's what they said:

The Held 'Wet Tour' Jackets got a great work out in Europe!

The Good:
The elastic around the cuffs is tight, keeps out drafts and water. Easy to put on in a hurry. Packs up small. Doesn't ride up. Zip isn't straight up and down so easier to get in and out of.

The Bad:

Make sure you put your gloves on first, as the cuffs are a bit fiddly to get over your gloves.

Our Official Word:

An awesome addition to your wardrobe if you're looking to stay dry in those April showers that seem to last all year! The bright colours with reflective panels will get you seen on those dark and dingy days, unless you opt for black and grey of course, then you'll just look cool!

These waterproofs come with a breathable mesh bag which makes them some of the smallest packed waterproofs on the market. The mesh bag means that your waterproofs will dry throughout the day before you put them back on to head home.

Held have really considered the draw backs of wearing waterproofs and so have not PVC coated their fabric so you won't suffer from them sticking to your gear as you put them on or take them off. It is the little details that count, like a hood and an inner chest pocket to keep your stuff in. Don't forget the matching trousers for a completely dry journey in the pouring rain!
