- Green Shape has evolved from Vaude’s in-house label into an externally managed and certified environmental standard, open to other brands.
- The standard assesses design, materials, production, use and end-of-life, including reparability, recyclability and the use of chemicals.
- 80 per cent of Vaude’s 2026 hardwear collection is certified; however, the label is no substitute for comparing fit, weather protection, durability and price.

Green Shape rather than greenwashing: Vaude now independently certified

- Vampire Hooded road cycling jacket with zone-specific materials for protection against the cold at the front and enhanced heat dissipation at the back; suitable for temperatures between 0 and 10 °C.  
- Waterproof membrane with a 10,000 mm water column and taped seams on the outside; more breathable, non-laminated hybrid shell fabric on the back.  
- Integrated balaclava that can be worn under a helmet or as a neck warmer; double zip; reflective strips; price and practical test details not provided.

- Gobik is launching the UNITY Cold27 collection, comprising four items (Weezer, Prime, Envy, Vantage) designed for temperatures between 5 and 18 degrees Celsius.
- Weezer is a long-sleeved jersey that provides insulation; Prime offers light wind protection; Envy offers greater protection against wet conditions and wind thanks to its membrane.
- Vantage combines wind- and water-repellent materials in a jacket designed for temperatures between 5 and 14 degrees, suitable for changeable, cold weather.

- The Ultralight Wind Gilet primarily protects the torso during changeable, sporty autumn rides with frequent alternation between climbs and descents.
- The Ultralight Wind Jacket protects the entire upper body; ideal for consistently cool, windy rides or long descents, though less aerodynamic.
- Both: very lightweight 20D ripstop polyamide, elasticated back panel, water-repellent; not a substitute for a winter or rain jacket; warmth depends on the layers worn.

Autumn wind jackets and vests: testing Vandeyk’s ultra-light cycling clothing

- Weather jerseys bridge the gap between long-sleeved jerseys and rain jackets, offering wind- and water-repellent protection combined with high breathability.  
- The Maap Pro Race Jacket comes out on top in the test, ahead of the Sportful Fiandre Shift Jacket and the Castelli Do.Di.Ci. Jacket; all three impress with their weather protection and fit.  
- GripGrab scores highly for value for money and features, Bioracer for strong weather protection at the lowest price, and Q36.5 for its lightweight, flexible layering concept.

Eleven cycling jerseys put to the test: the test winner is from Maap

- Lightweight road cycling weather jacket (225 g, size L) offering excellent protection against wind and rain, with an overall score of 1.4 in the TOUR test  
- Suitable for 5–15 °C, close-fitting, comfortable cut, two-way zip and back pockets for flexible temperature regulation  
- Weaknesses: only water-repellent rather than rainproof; few reflective details, resulting in limited visibility at dusk and in continuous rain

- On display are discounted autumn/winter clothing ranges for cyclists, from waistcoats and jackets to base layers and accessories.
- The focus is on protection from wind and the elements, thermal insulation, breathability, a compact pack size, and comfort features such as hoods and back pockets.
- Many products, such as jackets, gloves, bib tights, overshoes, helmets and glasses, are available at significantly reduced prices and are suitable for various cycling disciplines.

Autumn bargains for cyclists: these clothing deals are well worth it

- Thermal jersey for 5–15 °C, made from a merino-synthetic blend, offering excellent comfort (rating 1.1) and a close-fitting cut for road cyclists  
- Reliable protection against wind and moisture for changeable, cool training rides, but not a fully-fledged solution for longer rides in the rain  
- Relatively heavy at 380 g (rating 3.5) and only available in black; good features, but limited visibility in the dark

- Northwave organises its winter clothing into two ranges: Extreme for intense, wet long-distance rides, and Core for typical winter and transitional weather.  
- Extreme range: technically advanced garments such as the Extreme Rock Jacket (20,000 mm, packable, handlebar attachment, helmet-compatible hood) and specialised bib tights.  
- Core range: more affordable jackets, jerseys and bib tights offering varying levels of weather protection to suit different temperature and budget requirements.

Northwave’s autumn/winter collection: tailor-made protection from the elements

- Short-sleeved weatherproof jersey with arm warmers, a very close-fitting race cut and versatile use for changeable, intense road cycling rides.  
- Weighing 205 g including arm warmers, this is the lightest model in the test; it received good marks (overall 1.7), but comes at a high price of 250 euros and has no pockets.  
- Good, but not maximum, weather protection: suitable for cool, wet race days; does not replace a full-fledged rain jacket in continuous rain.
