The biking community enjoys the weatherproofing that Bellwether jerseys and jackets provide during inclement weather. The ability of the clothing to wick moisture keeps bikers dry and cool. Professional bikers find that the waterproof and windproof cycling clothes keep water and wind out, even during long-distance rides.
