Product Information

Full details

The Endura Pro SL Primaloft Gilet II is an essential piece of technical outerwear for dedicated cyclists seeking thermal core regulation without sacrificing aerodynamics. By combining PrimaLoft Gold insulation on the front with breathable, stretchy PrimaLoft Silver Active on the back, it offers superior warmth and moisture management; however, cyclists should note that while windproof and water-repellent, it is not a fully waterproof rain jacket.

FAQs

Is this gilet waterproof?

It features a PFC-free DWR coating, which makes it water-repellent against light rain and road spray, but it is not waterproof.

Can I wear this as my only layer?

It is designed as an outer layer over a jersey or as a mid-layer under a shell, depending on the temperature.

Does it fold into its own pocket?

While it is highly packable, it does not feature an integrated stow-pocket; however, it easily fits into a standard jersey pocket.

What is the difference between the front and back insulation?

The front uses 80g PrimaLoft Gold for maximum wind protection and warmth, while the back uses 60g PrimaLoft Silver Active for better breathability and movement.

How should this fit?

It is designed with a performance fit, meaning it should sit close to the body to be effective without restricting your movement.

Troubleshooting

Water no longer beads off the fabric surface

The DWR coating has worn off. Wash the garment with a technical cleaner and apply a fresh DWR spray or wash-in treatment.

Gilet rides up while cycling

Ensure the silicone gripper on the inner hem is clean. Use a damp cloth to wipe away any road dirt or sweat that may interfere with the grip.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent warmth-to-weight ratio for core insulation
  • Highly breathable back panel prevents overheating during intense efforts
  • Functional storage with three pockets and a security zip
  • Windproof protection on the front torso
  • Ergonomic fit allows for natural movement on the bike

Cons

  • Not intended for heavy or sustained downpours
  • Insulation may be too warm for mild spring/autumn days
  • Reflective elements are subtle and may not replace dedicated lights

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maintain the integrity of the PrimaLoft insulation and the DWR coating, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C using a technical detergent. Avoid biological powders or fabric softeners, as these can strip the DWR coating.
  2. Drying: Line dry whenever possible. If you must use a tumble dryer, use the lowest heat setting to prevent damaging the synthetic fibers.
  3. Re-treating: If water stops beading on the surface, apply a DWR wash-in or spray-on treatment to restore water repellency.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Ensure the gilet is completely dry before packing it away for extended periods to prevent mildew in the insulation.
