The front of the vest is constructed from an ultralight, windproof synthetic fabric that effectively shields your core from chilling winds, helping to maintain a stable body temperature during fast descents or when riding into a headwind. This crucial windproof barrier is your first line of defense against the elements.While the front blocks the wind, the back is engineered for maximum breathability. An advanced, striped mesh fabric on the back panel provides significant stretch for a perfect, close-to-body fit that eliminates flapping fabric. More importantly, it allows excess heat and moisture to escape, preventing you from overheating during strenuous climbs and hard efforts.

Subtle reflective accents on the back enhance your visibility to others in low-light conditions, adding a crucial element of safety to your rides. A single rear pocket offers convenient storage for small essentials, and the entire gilet packs down into this pocket, creating an incredibly small, easily storable bundle.
