Wearing a jacket (whether thick or light) is very important for a cyclist.
It allows you to protect yourself from atmospheric agents such as wind and rain (depending on the characteristics of the garment) and at the same time to expel the moisture that is created in the layers underneath due to the activity you are carrying out. These two factors may seem at odds with each other, but the best jackets in the best fabrics make it possible to achieve these dual benefits. Often during a long ride the weather can suddenly change and it's good to be ready for any situation, to return home dry and protected.

During winter, under a good winter jacket, it may be sufficient to choose a quality thermal and breathable underwear that allows you to wick away sweat. If you prefer, you can then wear a jersey as an intermediate layer, but it is still essential to choose the first layer carefully, the one that is in contact with the skin.
Absolutely avoid cotton, which absorbs sweat by getting wet and not wicking it away!
If you are cycling and it starts to rain, it is a good idea to put on a waterproof jacket immediately to avoid getting wet. In fact, if the ride is not yet finished, it is important to avoid getting your back wet, in particular, to avoid getting cold and therefore the possibility of falling ill.
Even in summer, it is important to protect your torso with waterproof gilets, which are very light to carry and very practical!
