"Slip in and feel good: The stretchy material of the KLEEN is tailored to racers like a second skin. Long sleeves, snug cuffs, and the high collar provide a snug fit, while the extended back is held in place by silicone prints."
Outside, an autumn storm is blowing the leaves from the trees and it's raining buckets. This is really not weather for cycling. But especially in autumn, it often happens that we have to face not only the headwind but also stronger autumn winds.
"For this, we developed the KLEEN Windjacket. Our Kleen should be compactly packable, lightweight, windproof, elastic, and water-repellent. And all of this, of course, as environmentally friendly as possible. Not an easy requirement list for our development team."
Nevertheless, we have taken on the task of creating the best wind jacket for road cyclists, gravel bikers, and MTB riders.
We think: We have succeeded and the BIKE magazine thinks so too. In the comparison test of 16 wind jackets, the KLEEN Jacket takes the test victory in issue 9/21!
WINZLING - Windbreaker in tennis ball format
Packing size, weather protection, fit - These are the characteristics of the perfect windbreaker.
Faustgroß - Just like our KAMSOOL vest, the KLEEN windbreaker was no hurdle too high for us. We wanted the best, most elastic, lightest, and environmentally friendly water-repellent material on the market. Result: a lightweight windbreaker weighing only 100 grams for weight fetishists and racers, which fits into even the smallest crevice - also thanks to the integrated packing pocket for safely stowing the windbreaker. Additional plus: spacious back pocket and all-around visible reflectors for your protection.
KLEEN WINDJACKE impresses against 15 competitors
"This is what BIKE Magazine says in issue 9/21 about the KLEEN wind jacket"
"Slip in and feel good: The stretchy material of the KLEEN windbreaker is tailored for racers. Long sleeves with reflective cuffs and the high collar provide a snug fit, while the extended back is held in place by silicone prints. Although the material feels quite breathable and comfortable, it can get a bit warm despite small laser cuts for ventilation. However, wind and weather protection are very good – the material withstands even a short shower. The KLEEN windbreaker is made from recycled polyamide and looks great too."
BIKE-VERDICT: VERY GOOD
POINTS: 54 out of 60

More warmth? Wind jackets for cold days
"Would you like a little more? Those looking for higher insulation than the KLEEN wind jacket should take a look at our Merino softshell jacket BRIES."
The second layer serves as an intermediary between the baselayer and the outer layer. It must simultaneously provide warmth, transport moisture, offer light wind protection, and take on additional tasks depending on the style.
For example, our BRIES wind jacket and softshell jacket, which warm thanks to the Merino inner side and are also extremely elastic. The water-repellent outer layer makes it the ideal companion in cool temperatures, where there may also be drizzle involved. The BRIES Merino softshell jacket is warmer than our KLEEN model due to the Merino inner side.
