Van Rysel Winter Road Cycling Jacket Endurance review: More pockets than you could know what to do with, plus great performance for the price

Decathlon had come in by storm in 2024 with the sponsorship of the Decathlon AG2R cycling team, and with that it has updated its Van Rysel range of both bikes and kit. You won’t find the Van Rysel Winter Road Cycling Jacket Endurance being used by the professional riders in any races, but it’s another item showcasing the brand’s expanding offering of impressively practical and effective kit, with a price tag that’s equally impressive. 

The Van Rysel Winter Road Cycling Jacket Endurance is a training kit item, designed to be worn in wintery conditions where the weather is cold, and or damp, though it isn’t a dedicated waterproof cycling jacket. Van Rysel doesn’t give a specific usable temperature range, but the presence of windproof membrane, water resistant coating, and fleece lining suggest a range of 0-10˚C.  It is certainly equipped similarly to other winter cycling jackets, however at £69.99, it undercuts many of them while featuring very similar technical specifications.
