Have you ever tried to get a jacket back on while riding, only to have to have it fill up like a makeshift sail? B’Twin reckons it has the answer with magnets — the mysterious elements, which are probably magic and definitely not yet explained by science.
By designing the magnets into the zip, the catchily named '700 Membrane Waterproof Road Cycling Jacket' will remain semi-closed while riding which makes things much easier when you fumble about and look for the zip.

While this may appear a little gimmicky at first, we can see real benefit to this system as it will make adding layers a far less perilous process, critical when riding in a group.
The jacket is also a fully waterproof shell with taped seams and a dropped tail to keep your bum dry on damp days. B’Twin does make concessions for breathability with the jacket constructed from a breathable membrane, and includes a generous vent below the shoulders.
