Updated, re-imagined and re-engineered for 2024/5, the brand new Spatz 'SHIELD2' winter jacket is unlike anything available on the market today. The new version is sleeker, better fitting and more breathable than before, whilst retaining the legendary warmth, water-proofing and comfort of the original 'SHIELD' jacket.

The design brief for the Spatz 'SHIELD2' winter jacket was very simple: Design and produce the only cycling jacket you will need to train/ride through a harsh winter, regardless of the conditions.

We are very proud to say that this product is designed, tested and manufactured in the North of England and is made of 100% recycled fabrics too. Water repellent coatings are plant based and PFC free and the packaging is fully compostable.

The cut of the Spatz 'SHIELD2' winter jacket is close and aero whilst allowing room for Spatz base layer(s) to nestle comfortably below. In true Spatz style, the neck is cut high and the arms are cut close and long. The front of the jacket is trimmed short for comfort in a cycling position and the brand new rear flap is cut long to protect you from spray.

As lifetime cyclists (and a double Olympic Champion), we spend a lot of time on a bike in the cold. It was important to add such features as; 3x rear pockets and a zippered rear coin/phone pocket. The pockets are cut and positioned to offer easy access on the bike, (especially with gloved hands). Logos are dark grey reflective print for a stealth aesthetic that glows up bright in the traffic.

For 24/25 every panel is updated and improved. For the main body and upper arms, we have specified a brand new 'Windtex Evolution Active Pro' fabric. 'Windtex Evolution Active Pro' simply outperformed all the other fabrics we tested for this application. It is not only waterproof and windproof but also thermal, highly breathable and incredibly comfortable. The fabric offers 4-way stretch and has a brushed fleece lining to trap warm air and encourage moisture to wick away. It partners brilliantly with our legendary Spatz Base Layers.

New for 24/25, the lower arm sections, collar and rear hem are made of a hydrophobic neoprene-like fabric and are laser cut to remove the need for a bulky hem. This means we can cut the openings close and clean to offer a seamless transition from jacket to gloves and tights. Comfort is increased and water ingress is minimised. Sleeves are cut to work in unison with the Spatz Gloves range and the collar and rear hem sit beautifully against the body. Our goal has always been to produce a modular clothing system where each seperate garment integrates together in unison and can be tuned to suit the environment.

The rear panel is PFC free, plant based DWR coated Roubaix fabric to allow articulation, warmth and breathability. Again, this fabric has a brushed fleece internal face and 4-way stretch.

It has been our aim to produce our apparel in the UK since our incorporation in 2017. We are very pleased to have teamed up with Lusso in Manchester to manufacture this product with us. We have brought our design and technical knowledge and paired it with Lusso's legendary manufacturing expertise and attention to detail. Together we have produced what we think is the very best apparel currently available.

Last piece in my Spatzwear jigsaw filled

A little over a year ago my relationship with Spatwear commenced. Picked up a base layer in a Black Friday offer and my journey started. Next came deep winter base layer , over shoes x 2 choices , socks , arm & leg warmers , balaclava, cap and gloves x 2 choices. Then on to Spatz Heater autumn jersey and a “ few “ shorts !
Last 2 pieces were the Winter Biblongs and now have the Jacket which is the last piece but by far the most important. Cold affects me and I now have so many options tweaking the layers but at all times have the perfect garment to protect me. Will cycle 200K a a week all year round so know what’s needed for each season. In my 60’s so the right gear is as important if not more to me than younger people. The comfort I now have is while I can’t control the weather I have the peace of mind that have cycling gear to match the elements as best as possible.
5’11 ….. 85KG and need the XXL size

Special thanks to James who has been at end of emails throughout to answer all queries about what would suit me best to meet my cycling needs. A lot of money spent but worth every penny. Spatwear doesn’t come cheap but divide the extra cost over the time you will use it and it’s a no brainer not to go the bit extra.

A significant upgrade

I have the first iteration of the Shield jacket from last year. It replaced all my Castelli winter jackets but now I’ve got Shield 2 and everything Spatz say about it being improved is true. Better panels on main body of the jacket and significantly most robust and warmer extended cuffs that hug the forearms and make a great seal on gloves. The jacket is more aero and the front chest pocket has gone which I personally think is a good thing. The garment still has the cavernous (but aero) three rear pockets and the useful key pocket but put side by side with the first edition it’s a different garment completely. It’s a more hi vis version with more orange on view which I like a lot. I didn’t think that Spatz could improve the Shield but they did. Worth every penny.

Tested the jacket in early winter rides. It is perfect in harsch conditions from early morning minus degrees to all what may come the day.
Size Medium at 178 cm with 68 kg and a longer upper body - perfect fit.
