SHIELD2 Extreme Weather Winter Jacket

Updated, re-imagined, and re-engineered for 2024/2025, the brand new Spatz 'SHIELD2' Winter Jacket is unlike anything else on the market. The updated version is sleeker, better fitting, and more breathable, while still delivering the legendary warmth, waterproofing, and comfort of the original 'SHIELD' jacket.

The design brief was simple: to create the only cycling jacket you'll need to ride and train through a harsh winter — no matter the conditions.

Proudly designed, tested, and manufactured in the North of England, the 'SHIELD2' is made from 100 percent recycled fabrics. Its water-repellent coating is plant-based and PFC-free, and all packaging is fully compostable.

The jacket's fit is close and aerodynamic, designed to sit perfectly over Spatz Base Layers. In classic Spatz style, the neck is cut high, and the arms are long and close fitting. The front is trimmed short for comfort in a riding position, while the rear flap is cut long for maximum spray protection.

Every detail has been carefully considered by cyclists who ride in the worst conditions. For 2024/2025, all panels have been upgraded. The main body and upper arms use a new Windtex Evolution Active Pro fabric that is waterproof, windproof, thermal, breathable, and incredibly comfortable. It features four-way stretch and a brushed fleece inner lining that traps warm air and wicks moisture away.

New for this version, the lower arms, collar, and rear hem are made from a laser-cut, hydrophobic neoprene-like fabric that eliminates bulky hems and improves glove integration. The sleeves are tailored to work with Spatz Gloves, and the collar and hem fit smoothly against the body.

The rear panel uses DWR-coated Roubaix fabric that is also PFC-free, fleece-lined, and four-way stretch. It offers warmth and flexibility, helping regulate body temperature during long winter rides.

The 'SHIELD2' includes three rear cargo pockets and a secure zippered phone or coin pocket, all designed for easy access with gloved hands. Reflective dark grey logos remain stealthy in daylight but light up under headlights for added visibility.

Spatzwear has collaborated with Lusso in Manchester to bring together technical innovation and manufacturing excellence. This partnership has resulted in a jacket that sets a new standard for winter riding apparel.
