The Santini RTR (Ready To Ride) Wind Breaker is a high-performance, packable outer layer designed to shield you from biting winds and light road spray. This vibrant Orange edition offers maximum on-road presence, ensuring you remain highly visible while staying protected during transitional weather.
Key Performance Features
Windproof Protection: Constructed with a premium wind-resistant membrane that blocks cold air from reaching your core, maintaining a stable body temperature during fast descents.
Ultra-Packable Design: The lightweight fabric is engineered to be highly compressible, allowing the jacket to be folded down into its own pocket and easily stowed in a jersey pocket.
Water-Resistant Finish: Treated with a durable water repellent (DWR) coating to shed light rain and road spray, keeping you dry during unpredictable weather transitions.
Enhanced Breathability: Features strategic ventilation zones to prevent moisture buildup, ensuring that while the wind is blocked, sweat can still escape during hard climbs.
High-Visibility Accents: Incorporates reflective Santini branding and trim to increase your visibility to motorists in low-light or overcast conditions.
Ergonomic Cycling Fit: Tailored with a slim, aerodynamic cut to prevent flapping, featuring an elasticated waistband and cuffs to keep the elements out.

Why This IS For You
✅ Variable Climate Cycling: Perfect for early morning starts or late evening finishes where temperatures can fluctuate rapidly.
✅ Safety-First Aesthetic: The bright Orange colourway is a top choice for safety-conscious riders, providing the best possible visibility in high-traffic areas.
✅ Space Efficiency: Ideal for riders who hate carrying bulky layers; it’s there when you need it and disappears into a pocket when you don’t.
Why This May NOT Be For You
❌ Heavy Rain Conditions: While it sheds light spray, this is a windbreaker, not a fully taped waterproof rain jacket; it will eventually soak through in a downpour.
❌ Extreme Cold: This is a shell designed for layering; it provides no thermal insulation on its own and requires a jersey or base layer underneath.
BFC Pro Tip
To keep your Santini RTR Jacket performing at its best, avoid using standard fabric softeners when washing. Softeners can clog the technical fibres and strip away the DWR water-resistant coating. If you notice water has stopped "beading" on the surface, you can give it a quick tumble dry on low heat for 10 minutes to reactivate the protective finish!
