The only smock tested here, its half-zip, over-the-helmet fitting adds high-wind security, even if the design has been left behind by most bike-specific manufacturers. The articulated polyamide body has stretch panels down the side and sleeves, and combined with a roomy cut makes for a versatile layer. Alongside a soft lined collar and Velcro-adjustable cuffs, Sprayway’s fourth instalment still packs a punch all the way into its hard-to-misplace day-glo orange stuffsack.
