Product Information
Full details
The Altura Nightvision EN Gilet is designed for commuters and cyclists who prioritize road safety without compromising on aesthetic appeal or packability. It offers certified high-visibility protection through EN17353-compliant reflective materials, making it an essential layer for low-light conditions. While it excels in visibility and lightweight weather shielding, users should note that as a gilet, it provides no arm coverage, necessitating separate layering for extreme cold or wet weather.

FAQs
Is the Altura Nightvision EN Gilet waterproof?
The gilet provides weather protection and wind resistance, but it is not classified as fully waterproof.
Does this gilet have pockets?
It features a minimal design focused on packability, so it is best used as an outer layer over a jersey that already has pockets.
Can I wash this in a standard washing machine?
Yes, use a gentle cycle with mild detergent, but always avoid fabric softeners and tumble drying.
What does EN17353 certification mean?
It is an international standard for high-visibility equipment, ensuring the garment provides adequate reflection for low-light visibility.
Is the fit true to size?
The gilet is designed as a unisex garment; it follows standard cycling sizing, which is often performance-fitted.
Troubleshooting
Reflective elements appearing dull or ineffective
Wash the gilet to remove accumulated road grime and dust which can block light reflection.
Zipper sticking or failing to pull smoothly
Check for loose threads or fabric caught in the teeth; clean the zipper track with a soft brush.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Altura Nightvision EN Gilet maintains its high-visibility standards, follow these care guidelines:
- Fitting: Wear the gilet over your primary riding jersey or jacket. Ensure the zipper is fully engaged for a secure fit that prevents flapping at higher speeds.
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can degrade the specialized reflective coating and breathability.
- Drying: Air dry only. Do not tumble dry, as the high heat can damage the technical fabric and reflective strips.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent premature fading of the bright yellow fabric.
