FOLLY Review // Chrome’s De Haro Windbreaker

De Haro In Le Rain

Chrome’s De Haro Windbreaker is PERFECT for you windy ridin hooligans! The fit is great, style is on point and it is lacking no functionality!  One of the many reasons I keep coming back to Chrome.

This light weight wind breaking weapon of choice would be incomplete if Chrome’s signature Griffin was missing. This graceful little fella is properly perched for you to thrash in style.

Not only is it functional as a bomb proof windbreaker, it will help defeat a light rain during your ride. And, as it is a field jacket cut/style, there are army men represented well on the inside tag.

SAFETY FIRST!  Kinda, never a bad idea to let those asshole drivers know you would prefer to be seen and not ran over. The reflective strip on the end of each sleeve is reversible to be seen and unseen at your choosing.

Since this is designed for the spring/summer to defeat the wind and light rain, there is a two way zipper that will let the heat out and good times in.  The De Haro has strategically placed vents to assist in this as well.

And at the end of the day… you may want to throw this sucker in a bag without the hassle of clustering up yer goodie satchel. So, Chrome made a pouch in the back to stuff this sucker in. It also serves as a great compartment for a beer on the go, tools, wallet, picture of your sweet mother, etc.

There you have it friends. The Chrome De Haro Windbreaker is an excellent choice for your wearing pleasure during these windy/rainy days of spring/summer.  I hope you enjoyed my two cents about it.  This jacket will be a standard on any ride/traveling trip I will embark on.

Cheer!!

It will be a “75 page soft-cover book showcasing John’s photographs from the 1,000km bike tour.” If you are unable to attend (like myself sad face), feel free to pre-order your copy (like I did happy face).

Better late than never.  Saw these posted up a bit ago and forgot to spread the love. Thanks to my buddy Billy Sinkford (IG @souphorse , make sure to give him a follow), I was reminded to let you fine folks in on this great Limited Artist Series by Chrome x Chris Milliman.

“This year we’ve partnered with Chris Milliman – renowned cycling photographer. Chris is best known for photographing the cycling industry including world-wide Cyclocross events and Road Bike races.

This season’s Limited Edition Artist Series features four of Chris’ iconic photographs: A local cyclocross race around an old castle in Belgium, the iconic industrial bridge structures overlooking the bike lanes of Chicago, a locals only watering hole of the same windy city, and the organized chaos of a bike shop. The inside of each bag includes an exclusive woven patch that references from old school photo processing.” – CHROME
