Sportful Fiandre Light No-Rain Top (£130)
Sportful Fiandre Light No-Rain Top (£130)
The lightest garment in Sportful’s new Fianre range, the No-Rain Light Top combines low-weight and packability with the wind and water protection which runs through the Flanders-inspired collection.
The ‘top’ uses a super-light Gore Windshield 3L stretch fabric on the front – which extends to the shoulders and upper arms – and featherweight ‘No-Rain’ fabric on the back and forearms to make for a claimed weight of just 180g.
Designed to fit over an existing jersey, the top doesn’t have any pockets but has a zipped side-opening for access to your jersey pockets. The top’s windproof front and all-over water resistance make it ideal as an lightweight layer throughout the year (whether on top of a short sleeve jersey on a mountain descent in the summer, or a heavyweight jersey on a bitter winter’s day) and it can just stuffed into a jersey pocket when not in use.
The Fiandre range has been tried and tested by the Sportful-sponsored Tinkoff-Saxo team and gets the seal of approval from six-time Grand Tour champion Alberto Contador.
