The most important things in a nutshell

The Trail Storm Insuloft AL meets all the requirements of a winter jacket for sports use. It is windproof, has a DWR coating that offers resistance to light rain or snow and provides cozy warmth thanks to the "Polartec Alpha" insulation.

First impression

The jacket has a tight cut, so there is no room for more than a long-sleeved insulating shirt underneath. The long elasticated cuffs provide a good seal and fit perfectly under gloves. The insulation material is cut out on the underside of the arms and on both sides of the torso to ensure good breathability. The small pocket on the back can easily accommodate a cell phone.

In use
The close-fitting cut ensures optimum freedom of movement. Thanks to the good fit, there is no cold wind anywhere. The "Polartec Alpha" insulation is tried and tested, scores points with good sweat absorption and keeps you nice and warm even in sub-zero temperatures.

Conclusion

Although it is a bike jacket, it is also suitable for other sporting activities. Provided it is cold, because it gets too warm at temperatures above ten degrees. The Scott Trail Storm Insuloft AL reaches its limits when the outer material gets wet due to snow or rain: If it is zero degrees or colder, the wind then draws through the jacket and you start to freeze. If the weather stays dry, the jacket will keep you warm, even if you are sweating profusely.

Recommendation

Due to the good thermal performance, you don't need more than a long thermal shirt underneath. You may feel shivery for the first few minutes outside. If your physical activity increases, you will quickly get warm. If you wear more underneath, you will sweat unnecessarily.
