Altura Nightvision Storm Men's Waterproof Jacket

Description

Riding an e-bike through a UK winter means dealing with rain and low light at the same time, often on the same commute. The Altura Nightvision Storm jacket is built for exactly that combination: a fully taped, waterproof shell with reflective detailing spread across the body rather than tucked into a single strip.

The jacket uses a breathable fabric designed to block wind and rain while still venting heat on a climb or a harder push on the pedals, which matters more on an e-bike than it sounds, since the assistance means you can hold a higher effort for longer without the jacket becoming the limiting factor. An adjustable hood, cuffs and hem let you tighten things down in driving rain, and ventilation panels are placed to stop you overheating once you're moving.

Altura pitch this as a cycling jacket first, but its low-light features, reflective panels intended to catch headlights and streetlighting, make it just as relevant to anyone walking or running as it is to riders. For a daily e-bike commute where visibility to traffic matters as much as staying dry, it covers both jobs in one layer.

Key Features

  • Fully taped seams for genuine waterproof protection, not just showerproof
  • Reflective detailing across the jacket for low-light and night-time visibility
  • Adjustable hood, cuffs and hem for a tailored fit in bad weather
  • Breathable fabric with ventilation panels to prevent overheating
  • Lightweight design that layers over normal cycling or commuting clothes
  • Pros

    ✓ Genuinely waterproof rather than water-resistant, with taped seams throughout
    ✓ Reflective panels give real visibility on dark commutes
    ✓ Adjustable fit at hood, cuffs and hem
    ✓ Well-reviewed British cycling brand with commuter-focused sizing

    Cons

    ✗ Bright yellow colourway won't suit everyone
    ✗ Sits at the pricier end for a rain jacket
    ✗ No pit zips, so ventilation relies on the fixed panels
