## Thermal Jacket Defend Women

The Suarez Thermal Jacket Defend Women is a warm, technically designed women's cycling jacket for cold days between approximately **-2 to 8°C**. Its three-layer main fabric uses a **water-repellent membrane** inside to reliably block wind chill and moisture from the front. Inside, the soft **X-Fleece** (brushed fleece) provides noticeable **thermal regulation** and comfortable wear on long rides. Reflective details increase visibility during twilight and overcast weather – ideal for winter use in Switzerland.

- Temperature range: **-2 to 8°C** for winter and transitional tours
- Three-layer construction with **water-repellent membrane** for effective wind and weather protection
- Soft **X-Fleece** inside for warmth, comfort and **thermal regulation**
- **YKK** zipper with storm flap for draft-free closure
- **Reflective details** for better visibility in low light
- **Multidirectional stretch** and functional panels for ergonomic freedom of movement
- Semi-close fitting cuffs for stable fit without restriction
- Designed for training as well as commuting in cold conditions

## Technical Details and Features

The core of the jacket is a technical laminate: robust on the outside, equipped with a **membrane** inside, optimized for thermal performance in between – so the front effectively reduces **wind chill** without completely cutting off breathability. The inner **X-Fleece** stores warmth, feels comfortable against the skin and supports balanced **moisture regulation** during varying intensities. A storm flap protects the **YKK zipper** so cold air doesn't penetrate when you're riding in drops or aero position. Additionally, elastic, ergonomically placed panels provide a close-to-body fit that moves naturally with your riding position.

## Applications and Benefits

Whether it's a winter loop around Lake Zurich, commuting through the Mittelland or a long base training session in the foothills: the Defend makes cold, windy conditions significantly more manageable. Combined with a **functional base layer**, it covers the specified cold range; depending on personal preference, you can flexibly layer with thermal jerseys or vests. The **reflective elements** provide visibility in morning fog or during early twilight rides without being obtrusive. Thanks to **thermal regulation**, you stay warm without overheating – ideal for rolling terrain with varying effort levels.

Additional Notes on Fit and Handling

The **multidirectional stretch** makes it easier to put on over base layers and ensures a wrinkle-free fit on the bike. The cleanly designed **zipper** operates well with gloves, and the storm flap prevents cold bridges. Thanks to the material blend designed for winter use, the wearing comfort remains pleasant even on longer, damp stages. Those who frequently ride in the dark benefit from the **reflective details** as a sensible safety plus without added weight.
