Scott’s Trail Storm Shirt is designed to be worn in cold weather when it’s too warm to wear a jacket, but a regular jersey just isn’t thick enough to keep you warm.
At £ 73 it’s certainly not cheap, but it looks very promising on paper. How is he going to do on the track?
Scott Trail Storm Shirt Details
Scott used brushed fabric to build the torso and the majority of the sleeves of the Trail Storm. To prevent overheating, Scott added more breathable mesh panels under and around the back of the arms, as well as the back of the neck.
In addition to ensuring more than adequate length in the sleeves, Scott has lengthened the back of the jersey slightly to help keep you covered while lying on the bike.
Although the label on the inside of the neck sticks out (rather than being printed), it didn’t irritate me during testing.
A neat little feature included here is the lens wipe that runs the full width of the front hem (on the inside), which helps clean mud off your glasses when you’re inevitably hardened. It’s a nice touch, although we would prefer it to be a bit deeper if we were picky.
Despite what is said on Scott’s website, there is no sign of a hidden pocket.
Scott Trail Storm Shirt Performance
How we tested
I tested the Trail Storm shirt back to back with five other winter jerseys, wearing the same sleeveless base layer (or no base layer on milder days).
The tests were carried out in a variety of weather conditions (light, wet and humid up to cold days with strong cold winds) with the aim of really getting them through the wringer.
All the jerseys were worn on the same test loops in different orders and still without a pack.
Also in test
Right off the bat, the Trail Storm Shirt is warm, comfy, and generally a nice place to be in the saddle on colder days.
The relaxed fit means you can always put on a base layer underneath for those frosty days in the hills, though it’s still snug enough that it doesn’t float when you’re moving on the bike or when she’s out. is properly soaked in a downpour.
Scott did a good job with the close-fitting collar, which helps keep cold drafts out when riding in a headwind.
When I was working really hard on the climbs – especially on changeable days – I found myself heating up pretty quickly, despite the Trail Storm’s mesh panels, which were designed to help dissipate heat.
In a relatively thick jersey like this, that’s normal, and that means the Trail Storm Shirt is better suited for good winter riding rather than those milder fall or spring days, where it can get cold. a little too hot. It’s a good jersey to grab when the temperature drops, however.
Scott Trail Storm Shirt Bottom
The Scott Trail Storm Shirt is a very comfortable jersey with a nice fit, which works great in cold weather. However, it’s better suited to lower temperatures as it doesn’t breathe as well as some, so it can get quite stuffy when tackling steep climbs or working really hard.
