Product Information

Full details

The Madison Stellar Reflective Windproof Gilet is a lightweight, versatile outer layer designed for commuters and cyclists who prioritize visibility and core protection in unpredictable weather. Made from durable polyester, it offers excellent windproofing and water resistance while remaining highly packable. While it provides exceptional visibility thanks to its rear reflective panel, users should note that the relaxed fit is intended for layering, so those preferring a skin-tight race fit may find it slightly roomy.

FAQs

Can I wear this over a thick winter jacket?

Yes, the gilet features a relaxed fit designed specifically to accommodate layers underneath.

Is this waterproof?

It is water-resistant, meaning it will repel light rain and road spray, but it is not fully waterproof for heavy storms.

How small does it pack down?

It packs down to approximately the size of an apple, making it easy to carry in a standard jersey pocket.

Does it have any pockets?

Yes, it features a dedicated phone pocket and a secure zippered chest pocket.

How do I choose the right size?

The gilet follows standard sizing; if you plan to wear it over bulky winter gear, you may prefer your standard size or one size up for extra room.

Troubleshooting

Gilet riding up while riding

Ensure the silicone gripper strip is clean and in direct contact with your jersey; avoid pulling the hem too high when putting it on.

Water soaking through

Water resistance may diminish over time; apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray to restore the outer coating.

Reflective panel appearing dull

Wipe the rear panel with a clean, damp cloth to remove road grime or mud that may be obscuring the reflective particles.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely lightweight and compact
  • Effective wind protection for the core

Cons

  • Relaxed fit may not suit every rider's preference

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your gilet lasts, follow these guidelines. Being a lightweight polyester garment, it should be machine washed on a cool cycle (30°C) with mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can degrade the water-resistant coating. Always air dry the gilet; avoid high heat from tumble dryers or direct radiators. The gilet is designed as a unisex item, and the size large fits comfortably over standard cycling apparel. For storage, fold or stuff the gilet into its own pocket or a dedicated jersey pocket once fully dry.
