Vortex Jacket

Riding through Pune's pre-monsoon humidity, Chennai's relentless summer heat, or the exposed switchbacks above Lonavala demands apparel built for real conditions. The Northwave Vortex Jacket uses technical cycling fabric with moisture-wicking construction and a ventilation-friendly zip system to keep you comfortable when temperatures push past 35°C and the roads get rough.

Use Cases

Cold weather rides. Insulated, wind-blocking construction for Delhi winter and high-altitude Ladakh starts.

Monsoon protection. Waterproof and breathable shell for monsoon and Western Ghats rain riding.

Variable conditions. Layer over base layers and jerseys when temperatures swing during early-morning to mid-day rides.

Our Take

At Rs. 4,290, the Northwave Vortex Jacket earns its place in an Indian rider's kit. The moisture-wicking fabric handles the kind of sustained sweat output that humid climbs in the Western Ghats or Ooty produce, while reinforced stitching survives the frequent washing that Indian conditions demand. The silicone hem gripper stays put over long efforts — a small detail that matters enormously on a four-hour ride.

Sizing for Indian Riders

Northwave sizing follows European cuts, which run slimmer through the chest and shoulders than most Indian or Asian brands. If you typically wear M in Indian apparel, order L here. Riders above 90kg or with broader shoulders should size up by one. In peak summer above 38°C, your regular size worn without a base layer is ideal; for cooler Leh mornings or Coorg winter rides, size up to layer comfortably.

Compatibility Notes

Works across road, gravel, MTB, and commuter disciplines. Pairs well with Northwave base layers for cohesive fit and length matching. Machine wash at 30°C with mild detergent — avoid fabric softener, which degrades moisture-wicking fibres. Hang to dry; avoid tumble drying. Store fully dry during monsoon months to prevent mildew in humid cities like Kolkata or Mumbai.

Pairs Well With

Complete your kit with technical bib shorts for matched fit and coverage, UV-protective arm sleeves for long sun-exposed rides on Hyderabad or Delhi summer routes, a well-ventilated road helmet for heat management, and lightweight cycling gloves for comfort on rough Ahmedabad or Pune city roads.
