Save 50% The Specialized Prime-Series Alpha Jacket is one of the best winter jackets for cycling, and it scored an impressive 4.5 out of 5-star review from our expert tester.

Sadly, this Specialized deal is only available in Female fit, and either Gunmetal or Black colorway, and sized from XS to XXL.

In his review, our expert tester Graham Cottingham reckoned the Prime-Series Alpha was a brilliant jacket for cold-weather protection. Although at the time Graham marked it down for its full price cost and its lack of rear pockets, it still ticked all the boxes as an impressive lightweight, extremely warm, and breathable jacket.

Specialized has listened, and now the latest version of the Alpha jacket has three back pockets for handy storage of your ride essentials. The price has an incredible up to 60% off, for a jacket that rivals far more expensive rival brands' offerings, when it comes to performance vs cost, making it a total bargain buy.

Warmth and breathability are the key features here, and this jacket is built around Polartec Alpha insulation. Although it's not going to compete with the best waterproof cycling jackets, its semi-road fit means it's a versatile layering option, and the rear pockets allow for easy storage of a rain jacket.
