Warm fleece feature for neighborhood cycling
For casual rides like camera rides or coffee rides, we generally recommend wearing everyday clothes. This is because you can easily stop at bakeries, convenience stores, and other places on your way to your destination.
After just 15 minutes of pedaling, your body will warm up, so down jackets are not suitable for cycling. So, what is good? Fleece. It allows for just the right amount of airflow, making it ideal wear for cycling. If it gets cold, wearing a windproof outer layer makes it perfect.

1: Patagonia Men's Classic Retro-X Jacket
This fleece has windproof properties and is suitable for extremely cold cycling. It's fine even in temperatures from 0 to 5 degrees Celsius. Best for coffee rides with minimal movement.
After the super popular boom of last year, it has become available for those who genuinely want to use it in outdoor settings.
This men's classic has a windproof lining. On windy cycling days, wearing just one long-sleeved T-shirt underneath is fine! This jacket is that warm. It's suitable for temperatures from 0 to 5 degrees Celsius.
Recommended for coffee rides of about 30 minutes after getting off the bike.

2: Patagonia Men's Retro-X Bomber Jacket
This fleece has windproof properties and is suitable for extremely cold cycling. It's fine even in temperatures from 0 to 5 degrees Celsius. Best for camera rides with a bit more movement. Since you lean forward on a bicycle, the neck area is important in cold weather. Surprisingly, thick neck warmers are not suitable, so this collar is ideal for cycling. The bomber jacket is actually one of the most compatible casual wear items for cycling.
The lining is windproof nylon fabric. On cold days, it keeps the inside warm and prevents wind from entering.

For those who don't want to wear the same Patagonia as everyone else. No windproof feature. Suitable for cycling to buy bread in temperatures around 10 degrees Celsius.
TOPO Design's fleece is popular every year for its cute design and comfortable fit. It's not windproof, so it lets wind pass through. If you're going for an extremely cold cycling trip, combining it with a wind jacket is a good idea.
When I see someone wearing a pullover, which can be inconvenient, it makes me want one. That's the charm of pullovers.
