Men's Elite Stormer Jacket

The no-compromise waterproof jacket for the keen rider.

Our Elite Stormer jacket is an ultra-lightweight waterproof jacket which takes advantage of cutting-edge fabric technology, rarely seen in cycling gear, to offer the keen rider the ultimate in protection and comfort.

It’s made from the same fabric that powers our award-wining and hugely popular Elite Jacket. It’s a 3-layer material consisting of a polyamide outer, our high-spec Barricade™ membrane and a fine tricot lining. It’s amazingly durable – but, at only 70 grams per square, astonishingly light. By any standards.

Obviously it’s totally waterproof but it’s also phenomenally breathable. And that’s because Barricade™ works a bit differently from ordinary waterproof-breathables. It operates dynamically and responds directly to your body temperature and the humidity of the surrounding environment. We call it Active Diffusion™. Basically, the steamier it gets inside, the more vapour escapes - keeping you more comfortable. Even on those long climbs.

We’ve also treated the fabric with our advanced Durable Water Repellency™ finish to stop the outer fabric wetting out and keep the jacket breathing at its maximum capacity.

The Elite Stormer has been designed, from the ground up, to meet the needs of cyclists – without any compromises. It’s built around our Forward Pitch Cut™ - it’s a bit short at the front, a bit long at the back but, when you’re on the bike, it’s absolutely spot on.

It features a full-length, water-resistant front zip and a water-resistant slash pocket on the chest, sized for a mobile phone or brevet card. The rear zipped pocket doubles as a Packpocket™ into which the whole jacket stows.

Adjustable cuffs seal out the elements and feature reflective bands for clear, poor-visibility signalling.

The collar features a soft, wicking lining and has a drawcord adjuster at the rear.

The shoulder seams feature reflective piping at both the front and rear. They’re silver at the front, red at the back - we call them Running Lights™. Because, when it comes to keeping safe on the road, every little helps.

Barricade™ Washing Instructions

Rohan Barricade™ waterproofs are easy to care for. Simply machine wash them at 40°C with a regular detergent. We recommend a second rinse to remove all traces of the detergent from the fabric. Don’t use fabric softeners or bleaching agents. Garments may be drip dried. Over time, the water repellent treatment on the surface of the fabric may become less effective and water will stop beading up on the outside of the jacket. Tumble drying on a warm, not hot, setting or careful ironing on the coolest setting will rejuvenate the finish.
