The Jaqueline is a windproof, packable gilet for men that’s designed to provide hardcore protection while being small enough to fit easily into a jersey pocket when not in use. You get a mesh panel, rear pockets, and a reflective safety strip.

Cafe Du Cycliste also offers a mid-weight merino jersey called Georgette that’s available for men and women. It has a mesh rear panel and mesh sleeves, the idea being to provide temperature control. 

There are also new colour options for many other items in the range including the merino jerseys Lucienne and Violette.

Other  introductions include merino and ultralight base layers, stainless steel thermos flasks and leather backed riding mitts for warmer weather.

Since the temperature has climbed a little I've been wearing their Josette rain jersey with arm warmers. The fabric is so much nicer to wear than my gabba, and so far it's been more water repellant. Top bit of kit.
