Women's Cycling Jackets for Optimal Performance and Comfort
Forget bulky jackets that hinder movement and enjoyment.
Sigr's women's cycling jackets are engineered to seamlessly integrate with your cycling form and have specialised features that regular jackets lack.
Key aspects include a snug fit to reduce drag, breathable materials to manage sweat, and reflective elements for enhanced safety.
They provide weather protection, visibility, and comfort during bike rides.
What Are Women’s Cycling Jackets?
Women's cycling jackets are essential gear designed to protect female cyclists from the elements while optimising comfort and performance.
To withstand varying weather conditions, these jackets prioritise wind and water resistance.
They also excel in breathability, preventing overheating by allowing moisture to escape.
For colder rides, the insulation and durable materials they offer become even more crucial.
A prime example of this style of jacket is the Treriksröset Pack Jacket.
This cycling jacket expertly combines lightweight fabric with windproof technology, while its ventilated panels ensure breathability in warmer environments.
This makes it an ideal choice for unpredictable weather conditions.
Why Choose Women’s Cycling Jackets from Sigr?
At Sigr, our women's cycling jackets cater to diverse cycling needs, with various features across different models.
Here are the key reasons why many women choose Sigr's cycling jacket.
Merino Wool Lining
Many of our jackets use soft merino wool because of its superior warmth-to-weight ratio, moisture-wicking, and insulating properties.
It regulates temperature, resists odour, and is breathable, ensuring comfort in various weather conditions.
Windproof and Waterproof
Sigr jackets feature a hydrophilic membrane that blocks water while allowing sweat to escape. This balance of protection and breathability makes them ideal for cyclists going through wet and windy conditions.
Reflective and High Visibility Elements
Many of our jackets, like the Östkusten, have ultra-silver reflective panels. These panels enhance visibility in low-light conditions, making night rides or cloudy days safer for riders.
High-visibility colours and reflective prints are also used to make cyclists more noticeable. For example, the Norrsken Ice Reflective Wind Jacket features a reflective pattern inspired by distinct Nordic landscapes.
Breathability
Our jackets use materials and ventilation systems that allow moisture to escape. This prevents overheating and keeps you comfortable on your bike ride.
With features like underarm vents and breathable fabrics, Sigr jackets ensure you stay cool and dry, even during intense rides.
Compact and Lightweight Design
Sigr knows cyclists need versatile gear. That is why our jackets are lightweight and packable. When the weather clears, you can easily compact them into their own pockets.
This makes them the perfect companion for those unpredictable days when you are unsure what to expect.
Insulation
Sigr jackets are designed to keep cyclists warm during cold-weather rides. They offer excellent thermal insulation and use high-quality materials like merino wool.
For example, the Gotlandsleden Tour jacket is tested to keep riders warm at temperatures as low as -12°C.
This is thanks to its merino wool lining and sturdy exterior, which ensure you stay comfortable and protected in harsh winter conditions.
Ventilation Systems
Sigr jackets feature smart ventilation systems to keep you comfortable. These include double zips, underarm vents, and back flaps.
Jackets like the Västkusten use these features to allow for adjustable airflow. This helps prevent overheating while still protecting you from the elements.
Durability
Made with high-quality materials, Sigr jackets are built to last. Fabrics like 50D polyester and taped seams ensure durability and long-lasting performance—even in challenging conditions.
Comfortable Fit
Designed with the cyclist in mind, Sigr jackets offer a snug yet comfortable fit. Features like silicone grippers on hems and flexible cuffs ensure the jackets stay in place and provide comfort during long rides.
Quality and Sustainability
Sigr’s jackets feature merino wool from Responsible Wool Standard-certified farms. We also use Bluesign® certified fabrics to ensure minimal environmental impact, and we even offer carbon-neutral shipping.
These practices reflect our commitment to quality, sustainability and caring for the environment.

Frequently Asked Questions
How Should Women’s Cycling Jackets Fit?
Cycling jackets should be snug but not restrictive.
To ensure the perfect fit, follow this sizing guide and accurately measure your chest, waist, and arm length. If you are between sizes, opt for the larger size for maximum comfort during your ride.
Do You Wear Anything Under Cycling Jackets?
Yes. Cyclists wear different types of base layers in summer and winter.
In warmer weather, a moisture-wicking base layer will keep you dry and comfortable. In colder seasons, consider adding a thermal base layer for extra warmth. Cotton should be avoided, as it traps moisture and can lead to chafing.
Why Do Cycling Jackets Not Have Hoods?
Cycling rain jackets typically do not have hoods because they are incompatible with bicycle helmets and could obstruct your vision while riding.
While some jackets designed for touring or everyday use might feature hoods, traditional cycling jackets prioritise a streamlined profile for optimal aerodynamics.
