FAQs

Is this gilet waterproof?

It is water-resistant, meaning it provides protection against light showers and road spray, but it is not intended for sustained heavy rainfall.

How small does the gilet pack down?

It is highly compressible and folds down to roughly the size of an apple, fitting easily into most rear jersey pockets.

Does it have reflective features on the front?

The primary reflective feature is the explosive reflectivity on the rear panel, designed to maximize visibility for vehicles approaching from behind.

What is the fit like?

This model features a relaxed fit, designed to be comfortable and easily worn over other cycling apparel.

Can I put this in the tumble dryer?

No. Tumble drying can damage the reflective materials and the internal silicone grippers. Please air dry only.

Troubleshooting

Gilet rides up during movement

Ensure the silicone grippers are sitting flat against your jersey or bib shorts. Clean the silicone strips with a damp cloth if they accumulate dust or lint.

Water soaking through during heavy rain

The gilet is water-resistant, not waterproof. If performance decreases, the DWR coating may need refreshing using a specialized technical fabric wash and reproofer.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent visibility in low-light environments due to the reflective rear panel
  • Highly packable for easy storage when not in use
  • Effective windproof protection for the core
  • Functional storage with dedicated phone and chest pockets
  • Secure fit thanks to silicone hem grippers

Cons

  • Relaxed fit may be too loose for competitive road cyclists
  • Not intended for heavy, prolonged rainfall
  • Single color option (Black)

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best performance, choose the size that accommodates your base layers comfortably, keeping in mind the relaxed fit of this model. The gilet is designed to be worn over standard cycling jerseys or base layers.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can degrade the water-resistant coating.
  • Drying: Air dry only. Avoid tumble drying or using high heat, which can damage the reflective material and silicone grippers.
  • Storage: When packing, ensure the gilet is completely dry to prevent odors or fabric degradation. Do not store in direct sunlight for extended periods.
