FAQs
Is this vest waterproof?
It is water-repellent, meaning it handles light rain and road spray, but it is not a fully waterproof rain jacket.
Can I wear this over a thick jacket?
The Pro SL gilet is designed for a performance fit; wearing it over bulky layers may restrict movement.
What is the benefit of the different PrimaLoft weights?
80g in the front blocks wind for warmth, while 60g in the back prevents overheating by moving moisture out.
How do I ensure I pick the right size?
The gilet is designed for a cycling-specific fit. Use the standard size guide provided for Endura apparel, keeping in mind it should be snug to avoid flapping in the wind.
Is it safe to iron this garment?
No, do not iron the gilet, as high heat can damage the synthetic insulation and the technical shell fabric.
Troubleshooting
Water is soaking into the fabric rather than beading off
The DWR finish has likely worn off; reapply a wash-in or spray-on DWR treatment suitable for technical apparel.
Gilet feels bulky or loses warmth over time
The PrimaLoft insulation may be compressed; wash the garment according to instructions to help restore the loft.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent warmth-to-weight ratio
- Breathable rear panel prevents overheating
- Highly packable for variable weather
- Includes functional rear pockets for storage
- Environmentally conscious PFC-free DWR coating
Cons
- Not intended for heavy, sustained downpours
- Requires gentle wash cycles to protect insulation
- Fit is specialized for the cycling position
Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best performance, ensure the gilet sits close to the body; it is designed to be worn over a standard cycling jersey. To maintain the effectiveness of the PrimaLoft insulation and the DWR water-repellent treatment:
- Washing: Machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle (30 degrees Celsius).
- Drying: Avoid tumble drying at high temperatures; air drying is recommended to preserve the loft of the insulation.
- Treatment: If water stops beading on the surface over time, apply a technical DWR spray specifically formulated for cycling gear to refresh the water-repellent layer.
- Storage: Do not leave the garment compressed in a storage bag for extended periods; hang it in a cool, dry place to maintain its shape.
