FAQs
Is this gilet waterproof?
It provides protection against wind and light spray, but it is not fully waterproof for heavy or prolonged rain.
Can I wear this over a thick winter jacket?
Yes, the unisex design and lightweight material are intended for layering, though you may want to size up if wearing over bulky winter gear.
What does EN17353 certification mean?
It is a European standard for high-visibility equipment, ensuring the garment provides enhanced visibility in both daylight and low-light conditions.
How should I store the gilet?
Hang it in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving it compressed in a ball for long periods to maintain the integrity of the fabric.
Is this gilet suitable for mountain biking?
While designed for road and commuting visibility, its lightweight and non-restrictive fit make it suitable for any cycling discipline where being seen is important.
Troubleshooting
Reflective strips appear less bright than when new
Wash the gilet to remove accumulated road grime, dust, and oils that can dull the surface of the reflective material.
Fabric feels damp inside after a ride
Ensure you are layering with moisture-wicking base layers; the gilet is wind-resistant, so trapped perspiration needs a base layer to manage airflow.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Altura Nightvision EN Gilet, follow standard performance apparel guidelines. The gilet is designed to fit over your regular cycling attire or base layers. When cleaning, use a mild liquid detergent and a gentle machine cycle with cool water. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade the specialized reflective coatings and breathable membranes. Always air dry the garment away from direct heat sources or sunlight to prevent material damage. Store in a dry, cool place, ensuring the gilet is fully dry before folding it for storage to prevent mildew buildup.
