FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof?

The Madison Freewheel is water-resistant, designed to handle light showers and spray, but it is not intended to keep you dry in heavy, prolonged rain.

How do I pack the jacket?

The chest pocket doubles as a stow pouch. Turn the pocket inside out, then fold and tuck the jacket into the pouch, zipping it shut to secure.

Can I wear this in the summer?

Yes, its lightweight material and rear venting make it suitable for summer mornings or descents where wind chill is a factor.

Are the materials breathable?

Yes, the polyester fabric combined with the open rear yoke design allows for effective moisture management during intense cycling.

Does it have pockets other than the chest pocket?

No, the jacket features a single zipped chest pocket which serves both for storage of small items and as the stow pouch for the jacket itself.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels damp inside after a long ride

This is likely due to perspiration; ensure the rear yoke vent is not obstructed by a backpack or hydration pack to allow maximum breathability.

Zipper sticks while packing the jacket into the pocket

Ensure the fabric is folded loosely and is not caught in the zipper track; do not force the zipper if resistance is felt.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This jacket is designed for a standard cycling fit. To pack the jacket, turn the chest pocket inside out and fold the garment into it, securing the zipper. For care, wash the jacket on a cool cycle (30°C) with similar colors. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleaching agents, as these can degrade the water-resistant coating of the fabric. Always allow the jacket to air dry; do not tumble dry or iron the reflective strips to ensure longevity.
