How is it to ride in?

Timing meant we’ve only managed a very brief (100-mile) test in the Mondial. First impressions are that the fit is excellent and some of the details impress too — including the waterproof twin zip on the cuff, the adjustable neck and the large outer pockets on the front. It’s lightweight — not at all bulky, though the trade-off is that it doesn’t feel as warm as some other jackets. We’ll be putting a lot more miles on the Mondial in the coming months – look for updates in future issues of RIDE.
