Simple is fast

A favourite of our National and World Cup racers; A gilet offers better ventilation and mobility than a long-sleeved jacket, whilst maintaining core temperatures

Description

Our Hardshell windbreaker Gilet is a perfect addition to your riding kit bag for breezy, rainy conditions where insulation is not required. Or if you don't need the insulative properties of our fleece-lined softshell gilet, this can be used all winter instead.

The Dual-layer Polyester hardshell contruction is windproof and very water resistant, ensuring your core temps stay up when the showers set in. A versatile and cost-effective addition to your kit bag when conditions are less than ideal! 

  • Dual-layer hardshell polyester construction.
  • Excellent water and wind resistance. 
  • Material water resistance specification (hydrostatic head): 10,000mm
  • A simple, functional pullover design with a crew neck. 
  • Small mesh panels under arms and at hips to release heat and offer increased mobility. 
  • 2 Large fully waterproof pockets and zips. The left pocket contains a large goggle-wipe, and the right pocket contains a key clip on a tether to keep your valuables safe!
  • Bike-specific fit, with an elongated tail to protect from rear wheel spray, and tailored arm holes to allow full range of motion. 

Designed to be layered up and worn over one of our compression jerseys, when a touch more warmth and water resistance is required.

    Perfect outer layer

    Lightweight outer layer that works really well. Keeps the wind out, doesn’t make you sweat , stops the wet mud that sprays up your back from soaking your other layers. Fits perfectly and looks great. Quality is excellent. Pockets are great. Goggles wipe in pocket is very handy. Brilliant customer service.

    Hard shell Windbreaker Gilet

    What a great item for those not so warm days riding, keeps your core nice and toasty and keeps you dry when a little damp. Fits well in my MTB wardrobe and fills the gap between jersey and full waterproof jacket.
