Some of the best waterproof cycling jackets we've ever tested will soon be gone forever – so grab these Black Friday deals while you can
Our top-rated winter cycling jackets have huge $100 discounts for Black Friday
The ban on environmentally detrimental PFAS chemicals or PFCs as they are more commonly known, has meant cycling brands are going back to the drawing board when it comes to the construction of the best waterproof cycling jackets.
As the legislation for removing these harmful chemicals from the environment kicks in, some of our favourite tried and tested waterproof jackets are about to disappear or change for good – potentially for the worse. With that in mind, I've hunted out some of our favourite jackets that have Black Friday deals and are well worth grabbing now before the changes ahead.
