Bandit Women's VeloRip Ultralight Windproof Jacket - Weather Protection Without Weight

The Bandit Women's VeloRip Ultralight Windproof Jacket is constructed in structured VeloRip™ fabric—lightweight, windproof, and water-repellent with a PFC-free finish—for weather protection without weight. Built with taped seams keeping construction minimal and ultra-light, plus a 2-way centre-front zipper and two zipper stash pockets, this jacket delivers on-the-go versatility for changing conditions.

VeloRip™ Windproof and Water-Repellent Fabric

VeloRip™ fabric is fully windproof—not wind resistant—providing complete protection from outside gusts. The water-repellent finish with PFC-free treatment protects against light rain whilst avoiding harmful chemicals. This structured fabric delivers weather protection without the weight penalty of traditional windproof jackets, keeping you covered without feeling restricted during running.

Taped Seams with Featherweight Construction

Taped seams create a seamless feel with featherweight finish—no bulk, no friction, just clean lines that move with you. This minimal construction keeps the jacket ultra-light whilst maintaining weather protection. The bonded seam technology eliminates the added weight and bulk of traditional sewn seams.

2-Way Zipper with Stash Pockets

A 2-way centre-front zipper opens in both directions, allowing breathability adjustment whilst reducing drag. You can open from top or bottom depending on ventilation needs during different running intensities. Two zipper stash pockets provide storage for essentials on the go. Reflective branding at front and back body enhances visibility, whilst a woven infographic label with contrast zigzag stitch at centre back neck adds design detail.

Is the VeloRip Windproof Jacket Right for You?

Built for runners training in windy and variable conditions who need full windproof protection without carrying unnecessary weight. If you run routes exposed to gusts requiring genuine windproof (not just wind-resistant) protection, want water-repellent coverage with PFC-free treatment avoiding harmful chemicals, or need a lightweight jacket that packs down for on-the-go versatility, this delivers. The VeloRip™ fabric suits runners who've found traditional windproof jackets too heavy or restrictive, whilst the 2-way zipper appeals to those wanting precise ventilation control during varying intensities. The taped seam construction works for runners prioritising minimal weight and bulk, making this ideal for stashing in pockets or belts when conditions change mid-run.
