Sportful Fiandre Cabrio Jacket
The Sportful Fiandre Cabrio jacket is similar to previous jackꦿets from the company constructed from Gore Windstopper and NoRain fabrics.
However, the key feature on the Cabrio jacket is a removable rear panel, which offers prot🐓ection in the wet or extreme cold but is completely removable via two zips if the conditions change and breathabꦅility is a priority.
As the name suggests, the Fiandre Cabrio jacket has a removable back panel for extra breathability when needed
Variants of Gore Windstopper fabric is strategically placed ꦑat the front, sleeves and back of the jacket to offer protection and breathability where it is needed.
Th✅e si🎉ze medium sent weighs 438g and has the usual full-length zipper, three rear cargo pockets and a silicone gripper waistband.
A soft fleece lining, high collar and double cuf൲f should help to keep you warm when the temperature drops.

Sportful Fiandre Strato Wind Jacket
A stretchy NoRain long sleeve jersey has a windproof front section attached to offer wind protection on the mo𝓀st exposed area of the upper body.൩ Two ventilation zippers on the chest allow for further breathability as needed.
The combination of two garments into one offers a𝄹 versatile piece which can be worn in the autumn and spring, optimised for temperatures 5-15 degrees Celsius and als🌼o doubles-up as a mid-layer for deep winter riding.
A similar solution could be replicated with a long sleeve thermal jersey and wind vest, however, the Sportful Fiandre Strato offers all of the protection of this combination with less of the bulk🧸.

Sportful Fiandre NoRain Pro bib tights
While I can't vouch for the performance just yet, the Fiandre NoRain Prꦅo bib tights do feature several obvious features I would expect from a pro-level bib tight.
The TC 🌊Pro pad features in a number of existing Sportful bib shorts and tights and is excellent, ankle zips are a must for winter tights and although heavy, the NoRain fabric with brushed fleece lining should help to keep you drier for longer🐻 and warmer.
Only available in black, a𒁃 size large weighs 431g.
- £135 / €149.90 / $219.99
Sportful Fiandre NoRain Pro bib shorts
Paired with knee warmers, or leg warmers, the shorts effectively double up as knickers or tights and are perfect for temperatures𒁏 of 8-16 degrees Celsius that Sportful says the bib shorts are optimised for.
If you live in the UK or somewhere with a similar climate, you'll be using these bib shorts in the aꦕutumn, winter and spring, time and time again.
Lie flat bib straps, an aggressive and anatomic cut, plus the TC Pro seat pad combine♛ to make a serious piece of kit, w🐓ith performance to match.
A size large weighs 229g.
- £120 / €139.90 / $159.99
Sportful BodyFit Pro Thermal Jersey
The🤪rmoDrytec Plus shoulders and sleeves off enough stretch for plenty of arm sizes and a TDTxp body offers extra warmth on the torso, claims Sportful.

- £90 / €99.90 / $149.99
Sportful BodyFit Pro bib tights
The two ꦐdifferent bib tights share a TC Pro seat pad and ankle zippers but lie flat bib straps and reflective bands around the lower leg on the BodyFit Pro bib tights differentiate the tജwo aesthetically.

Sportful BodyFit Pro Windstopper Vest

Like the &nbs🀅p;from earlier this year, the Sportful Attitude jacket features an 'inner 3D mesh structure' fo👍r added insulation on the chest.
A 3D mesh fabric lines the inside of the jacket at the front, providing warmth on the most exposed area of the jacket
While the R&D Celsius jersey was designed for mountain climbs and cooler descents, the Attitude jacket is focused on warmth and tꦺemperature regulation, optimised for temperatures from 5-15 degrees Celsius.

The jersey has ex✃pected featu🅷res of three cargo pockets, a full-length zipper and a silicone gripper waistband, alongside a double-layer mesh on the collar and cuffs.
Wꦬeighing 226g, the Moire Thermal jersey is available in grey (photographed), blue and raspberr♛y.

To the rear is a highly breathable mesh material with three cargo p🍬ockets offering additional storage.

Sportful Total Comfort bib tight
The Total 𝔍Comfort s♕eat pad is thicker than the TC Pro pad, which Sportful say lives up to its name.
The extra insulation results in a fairly heavy set of bib tights 🍰at 363g for a size large, 80g heavier than the BodyFit Pro bib tights.
A reflective dot pattern on the back of the calves is welcome for a pair of tights likely to be used in ♐lower light conditions.Variable thickness material is used around the waist area to offer good breathability and doubles up as extra support in this area.
