The Velocio Men’s ONE Jacket was created to simplify cold and wet-weather riding.
Rather than building an overly insulated winter shell or a lightweight emergency layer, Velocio engineered the ONE Jacket as a highly versatile outer layer capable of handling the unpredictable conditions riders actually face — cold dawn starts, alpine descents, shifting rain, strong winds and changing ride intensity.
For Australian riders, that versatility matters enormously. And in terms of durability? If you ask the Chainsmith Team, we've each owned and worn a version of the Velocio One jacket for over 5 years each... and still going strong.
A rain jacket should be considered an investment in your cycling future. Make it a good one with Velocio One Jacket.
The ONE Jacket performs exceptionally well across:
- Southern Highlands winter mornings
- Canberra training rides
- Blue Mountains descents
- Tasmanian road riding
- wet gravel adventures
- long endurance rides with changing temperatures
At the core of the jacket is Polartec® Power Shield™, a waterproof-breathable membrane system engineered to balance weather protection with exceptional breathability during high-output riding. Unlike many waterproof cycling jackets that feel stiff, clammy or noisy, the ONE Jacket remains soft, quiet and remarkably comfortable while riding.
Velocio also developed the ONE Jacket without PFAS “forever chemicals”, incorporating a partially bio-based membrane construction that reduces environmental impact without sacrificing performance.
The fit has been carefully refined for the riding position:
- articulated shoulders reduce pulling while on the bike
- extended rear coverage protects against wheel spray
- streamlined patterning minimises flapping in crosswinds
- three rear pockets preserve everyday riding practicality
Importantly, the ONE Jacket does not rely on excessive insulation. Instead, it creates a stable microclimate while allowing moisture and excess heat to escape during harder efforts — making it far more adaptable across Australian riding conditions than heavier winter jackets.
At Chainsmith, we particularly recommend the ONE Jacket for riders wanting:
- a single premium winter riding jacket
- long-distance versatility
- protection without bulk
- highly breathable foul-weather performance
- road and gravel adaptability

Why Australian Riders Appreciate the ONE Jacket
Australian winter riding conditions are rarely consistent.
A single ride can include:
- freezing starts
- wet roads
- hard climbing efforts
- sunny valley temperatures
- exposed windy descents
The ONE Jacket succeeds because it balances:
- weather protection
- breathability
- packability
- warmth
- mobility
without becoming overly specialised toward only deep-winter riding.
For many riders, it becomes the jacket they reach for most often.
