Product Information
Full details
The Albion Burner is an essential accessory for cyclists looking for focused thermal regulation during chilly morning rides or technical mountain descents. Designed for unisex adult use, this ultra-light nylon insulating layer is meant to be worn directly against the chest behind bib straps, providing rapid warmth and wind protection without the bulk of a full jacket. While it excels at temperature management and breathability, users should note that its minimalist design provides targeted warmth to the core rather than full-body protection.

FAQs
Can I wear the Albion Burner over my jersey?
No, it is specifically designed to be worn under your jersey and behind your bib straps for the most secure and effective fit.
Is the Burner waterproof?
The Burner is designed for wind protection and insulation. While the nylon material provides some resistance to light spray, it is not categorized as a waterproof garment.
How small does it pack down?
It packs down into its own integrated pocket to a size easily held in a standard jersey pocket.
Is this product suitable for all genders?
Yes, the Albion Burner is a unisex garment designed to fit a wide range of adult body types.
Does the insulation lose its loft after washing?
If washed according to the care instructions—using a delicate cycle and air drying—the insulation will maintain its thermal properties and loft over time.
Troubleshooting
The Burner shifts or bunches up during the ride.
Ensure the bib straps are pulled taut over the edges of the Burner to hold the material flush against the body.
Feeling overheated during high-intensity efforts.
Unzip your outer jersey to increase airflow or remove the Burner and pack it into its integrated pocket.
Pros and Cons

- Effective wind protection for the core area

- Seamless integration with standard bib strap setups

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To wear the Albion Burner correctly, place the insulation layer directly against your chest before putting on your bib straps. Ensure the straps hold the edges securely in place to maintain a flat profile. For care, it is recommended to hand wash or machine wash on a delicate cycle using mild, technical-fabric-friendly detergent. Always air dry the garment away from direct heat sources to preserve the integrity of the insulation and the nylon material. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can compromise the breathability and wind-blocking properties of the fabric.
