Rapha Brevet Wind Gilet

RAPHA Men´s Brevet Wind Gilet: Your Essential Layer for Long-Distance CyclingConquer unpredictable weather and extend your riding season with the RAPHA Men´s Brevet Wind Gilet. Designed for the demands of long-distance cycling and adventures where conditions can change in an instant, this lightweight and highly packable cycling vest is an indispensable piece of kit for any serious rider. It provides the perfect balance of protection, breathability, and visibility, ensuring you remain comfortable and focused on the road ahead, no matter what it brings.The primary benefit of the Brevet Wind Gilet lies in its intelligent fabric placement. The front panels are engineered to be completely windproof, creating a crucial barrier that shields your core from chilling winds and cold air, especially on fast descents or during early morning starts. This protection is vital for maintaining a stable body temperature and preventing energy loss. To counteract overheating during strenuous efforts and climbs, the rear panel is constructed from a lightweight mesh fabric, allowing excess body heat and moisture to escape efficiently. This dual-material design ensures you stay warm without getting clammy, providing perfect thermoregulation across a wide range of temperatures and intensities.Practicality is at the heart of the Brevet collection. This gilet is exceptionally lightweight and can be packed down into an incredibly small size, easily fitting into its own internal pocket and stowing away in a rear jersey pocket with room to spare. Its minimal bulk means there´s never a reason to leave it behind. For enhanced safety in low-light conditions, the gilet features the signature reflective Brevet stripes across the chest and additional reflective details, significantly increasing your visibility to others at dawn, dusk, and on overcast days.Functionality is further enhanced by a full-length, two-way zipper, a feature that offers unparalleled ventilation control. Unzip from the bottom to increase airflow to your core while climbing, without having the gilet flap in the wind. A soft chin guard prevents irritation, while a slightly raised collar offers extra neck protection. The gilet is cut in Raph´s Classic Fit, providing a comfortable and slightly more relaxed silhouette that´s perfect for long hours in the saddle, without being restrictive. A dropped tail provides extended coverage to protect against road spray.Technical Specifications:* Gender: Men* Material Type: Synthetic* Primary Use: Road Cycling, Audax, Long-Distance Riding* Windproof front panel for core protection. * Breathable mesh rear panel for superior ventilation. * Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish to shed light rain and road spray. * Highly reflective signature Brevet stripes and details for 360-degree visibility. * Extremely lightweight and packable design, stows in a jersey pocket. * Two-way zipper for versatile temperature regulation. * Raised collar and dropped tail for enhanced on-bike coverage. * Classic fit for all-day comfort.Men´s Brevet Wind Gilet.Composition:- Men´s Woven 100% Nylon Gilet MID CODE:VNPSVINDON.Country of Origin:- VN.Net Weight:- 0.18 Find out more...
