The past week, I was invited by Decathlon China team to fit and review their new products they promote for this season. Decathlon China is now upgrading their sports accessories to more than 80 categories, which is huge. As I live 70% of my time under no roof, outdoor clothing is probably taking most charge of my wardrobe. If let me choose one must-have piece, wind jacket is that kind of piece I would recommend to beginners who'd like to start experience an outdoor life, such as hiking, city cycling, or snowboarding.

A wind jacket is so multi-tasking that works beyond your imagination.

• Hiking is a common scene that you would need a jacket, it prevents you from being hurt by branches, maintains your body temperature and also protects you from a sudden rain.

• On a cold/windy day, you can also wear a wind jacket as a fashion piece, though we normally wear bike suit that just fits our body shape. But city cycling does not always request a very professional suit, as long as it is save and comfortable, it is the right ones

• For snowboarding riders like I am, wind jacket is also a good choice during winter if the budget is limited. Wind jacket with water-resistance function can also replace the snow jacket for beginners. Because beginners would not be recommended to ride on a blue/black slope or on a tough weather, it should be just OKAY if you start on a green slope. 

Decathlon's jacket caught my eyes so quickly as soon as I walked in their stores. The bright colors attracted me more than their traditional beige/dark/nude colors. I styled a few looks and it is your turn to decide which is preferable?
