Reviews over the

Rogelli Essential

With a wind chill of 4 degrees (strong wind and no sun) and a short-sleeved undershirt, cycling was still fine.

Pros & Cons

Rogelli products are good in terms of price/quality, fit and overall design. Only downside: sleeves a little too long.

Pros & Cons

Fine jacket at a neat price!

Pros & Cons

The sleeves are short, I'm 180 cm tall and 66 kg, so to have long enough sleeves I had to get a size L, but it's wide enough in the torso so it doesn't insulate very well from the cold, especially when going downhill... Entry level product.

It's completely in line with my expectation. Compared many jackets, but still came back to this one. It fits well, ordered the size as recommended too. Nice and warm, but not too warm either. It is also breathable, and keeps you wonderfully comfortable. In short, a fine purchase.

Pros & Cons

See pluses and minuses.

Pros & Cons

Smooth shipping everything done correctly

Fine jacket, well warm and does not creep up, could have been slightly longer.

Pros & Cons

Good fit, warm and nice and long

Pros & Cons

As an avid cyclist, I have tried many different cycling garments, but the Rogelli Essential Cycling Jacket stands out head and shoulders above the rest. This jacket has exceeded my expectations in every possible way.

Pros & Cons

Only went out with a thermal shirt. Was 4 degrees but not an inch of pain

Pros & Cons

Very happy with this purchase. Jacket fits well. Not one of those baggy things. Sizing which jacket provides is fine. Used last weekend at about two degrees above zero.

Pros & Cons

Used at 4 degrees and wind with some rain. With long and short thermo underwear I stayed warm although the jacket is not as windproof as jackets with windstopper, but those are a lot more expensive. Great purchase!

Pros & Cons

I have the L and am 1.82, fits like a glove

Pros & Cons

At temperatures below 10 degrees, I find it necessary to wear a vest and shirt, both long-sleeved, underneath. But cold is of course very subjective. Sits nicely in size M (1.73 m and 73 kg).

Pros & Cons

Was hesitating between M or L. Size chart of Mantel itself matches reality well.

Pros & Cons

Bought this in red for a warm but breathable winter jacket. There are breathable panels under the arms, on the sleeves from the windward side, so is a thin one on the back. Warm collar with it, small zip pocket at the back just can't fit a phone. For the money, good deal. The Barrier is slightly less breathable, even warmer.

Pros & Cons

Lovely winter jacket. Solid material and great fit. Very satisfied with it.

Pros & Cons

Top coat! Definitely recommended for current temperatures. With 4 degrees, lots of wind and rain, I wore the jacket over a fishnet shirt and long-sleeved thermo. Wonderfully warm and good wind protection. Pay attention to the size though! I went from an XL (that hangs in my closet) from an XXL to a 3XL. Three times is the charm...1.90 mtr, 96 kg, broad build.

Pros & Cons

Jacket fits well. Am 172 cm and weigh 68 kg myself and took size M. Fits nicely but not too tight. I have cycled with it 3 times now. Once with a sleeveless undershirt at 11 degrees. Then it was too warm. 1x at 6 degrees with a long-sleeved shirt. That's just about right. Almost too warm. Short-sleeved shirt is more convenient then. 1x with temperature of -1 and with long-sleeved shirt. Was perfect. Never cold, not even while waiting for a fellow cyclist to pee. Already had a 'cool weather jacket' and bought this one for the cold days. Does what it is supposed to do!

Pros & Cons

The jacket is comfortable and windproof. Cycled with thermo shirt underneath at 6 degrees. Not too warm and good ventilation. After 1.5 hours of drizzle, the shirt underneath does get wet, which is also mentioned in the description. But I like the balance between ventilation and water resistance. I am 1.94m, 78kg and have an L (a bit loose but I like it).

Pros & Cons

Worn several times around 5 to 6 degrees with just a short-sleeve sweatshirt underneath, but not once suffered from cold. Chest and back windproof, side pieces breathable. Great jacket.

Pros & Cons

Super Jack! Fine even at temperatures around freezing

Pros & Cons

Tested at 3 degrees (feeling -1 / humidity 93%) with a thermal undershirt and a winter jersey. Protection against the cold and wind is fairly good. Perspiration levels are OK. I chose a size L for 1m82 and 75kg. The fit is very snug; a size M would have been too small.

Pros & Cons

Good jacket, warm , fits well, water repellent

Pros & Cons

Super nice jacket that is nice and warm. Is relatively tight, does not flap while cycling. Wasn't cold at 6 degrees. After washing, the jacket was also dry very quickly. No experience of rain yet. Normally have XXL t-shirts hanging in the closet. Chose a size larger of this one. Definitely should not have been smaller.
