Giordana Women's AV Extreme Jacket Info

Giordana designed the Giordana Women's AV Extreme Jacket for riders who need real cold-weather defense without a bulky jacket. The name comes from Aqua e Vento, water and wind, and the lining is soft insulation that Giordana says delivers the performance of much heavier jackets.

Warmth and weather resistance

Insulation is a 110g PrimaLoft layer made from recycled materials, behind a high-density, durable outer fabric with a DWR Hydro CO treatment for water and wind resistance. Giordana calls the fit slightly relaxed yet body conforming, with slight elasticity for flexibility. The intent is to wear it over a very lightweight thermal jersey or a winter base layer, which keeps the bulk down.

Features

The collar is high and fleece lined, with soft elastic cuffs at the wrists and a straight-cut waistband. A longer drop tail sits below the rear pockets, and there are three external rear pockets with gussets and drainage. Reflective accents, including highly reflective dual stripes on the rear pocket, help you stay visible when the light fades.

The front closes with a two-way windproof zipper. The women's AV Extreme is made in Italy, in black and khaki, sizes XS to 3XL. Giordana recommends a cold machine wash at 30° C, no bleach, no ironing, and hanging or laying it flat to dry.

The RA Perspective

This is the jacket we point people to when they say their winter layers are too bulky. The 110g PrimaLoft insulation is designed to give warmth comparable to heavier jackets, and the high-density outer keeps the shape clean. It is cut slightly relaxed, so it works over a thin thermal jersey or a base layer without feeling tight through the shoulders.

The details are the useful part. The fleece-lined collar and soft cuffs close gaps where cold air gets in, and the drop tail covers your lower back when you are in a tucked position. Three gusseted rear pockets with drainage hold food and layers, and the reflective stripes on the pocket are there for low-light rides.

There are two things to weigh before buying. First, the outer is DWR treated and described as water and wind resistant, not waterproof. It handles drizzle and spray, but a long soaking rain will get through eventually. Second, Giordana does not publish a temperature range, so choose your base layer by how you run on a cold day. If you overheat easily, a lighter jacket may suit you better.

For riders who commute, train outdoors in winter, or just want a single insulated layer for cold starts, the AV Extreme is a strong choice. It is available in black and khaki, and the sizing runs XS through 3XL.
