VAELA 001 Cotton Jacket Black
VAELA specialise in creating tailored clothing for cyclists that look and fit just so. With sustainability at the forefront of their design process, this female led start-up are quickly making a name for themselves in the commuter space.
This beautifully crafted black cotton jacket has been made with subtle features to assist the modern cyclist – for example hidden reflective prints, a slightly longer back and removable belt. All very chic.
A beautifully cut and fantastically versatile jacket.
The VAELA heavy, black cotton jacket can be worn buttoned and belted up against the wind or with the collar open and belt removed for a more ‘shacket’ like look.
The saddle shoulders keep the shape soft and let the sleeves slide smoothly over the wearer’s arms when stretching for the bars. A little stretch in the fabric further improves comfort and fit.
The back is cut to cover your bottom when riding, and the cuffs can be turned down and the belt turned over to reveal reflective prints that sing out in the face of car headlights.
- Made from 97% organic cotton and 3% degradable elastane
- Pre-washed to minimise colour rubbing and shrinking
- Designed in the UK, made in Romania

- Water repellent and windproof fabric*. Let the rain pour, let the wind howl. This jacket will keep you warm and dry in whatever conditions mother nature throws at you. The Tempest Protect fabric is both wind & waterproof*, protecting you from the elements so you can keep riding, even when nature is fighting back.
- Soft brushed lining. Featuring a soft fleece-like Roubaix lining the Alpine jacket is ultra-cosy and thermally insulated. Keeping you at the optimal temperature on your winter adventures.
- Covered zip. A covered zip helps protect against wind and cold penetration, a key benefit when the temperatures plummet.

Placed right where you need them to help you to stay safe and be seen, these reflective details help to improve visibility without compromising the look of your jersey.

- Close yet comfortable fit. Our Alpine Bodyline jackets offer the same close but comfortable fit as our Ibex Bodyline jerseys.

And if you’re looking for protection against the elements and an ultra-aerodynamic fit – check out the Alpine Epic jackets.

- Three easy-to-reach rear pockets and a water resistant 4th pocket. Three rear pockets keep the essentials handy, meanwhile the fourth water-resistant zipped stash pocket keeps valuables such as your phone or café stop cash safe and sound.
- Gender specific fit. Because men's and women's bodies are different.
Womens Utopia Orange Kiko Bodyline LS Jersey
- Water & wind-resistant fabric. The Tempest fabric is wind-resistant and water-resistant. This protection is a characteristic of the material itself, not a treatment that will wash out with time. So there's no need to re-treat your jersey in the future; your jersey will remain consistently awesome.
- Perfect 3 season riding. The fabric has excellent weather-resistant qualities and is still very breathable, giving superb performance across a wide range of cooler temperatures (from 6-16°c). Ideal for changeable conditions or unpredictable ‘between seasons’ rides.
