Named after the highest peak in the Western Hemisphere, The North Face's Aconcagua 2 Vest offers premium lightweight warmth for adventure days. A WindWall™ exterior is breathable and keeps bitter winds at bay, while a combination of down and Heatseeker™ Eco insulation keeps warmth where you need it and reduces heat loss. Zipped pockets also ensure essentials are within easy reach, and a non-PFC Durable Water Repellent treatment sheds light showers. About WindWall™ WindWall™ fabrics are engineered to reduce the effects of chilling winds while maintaining a good level of breathability.

The Jack Wolfskin Women's Eisbach Vest is a warmly insulated, quilted, and slim, longline design for winter layering. The Texashield shell fabric is windproof, water repellent and breathable, plus, it comes filled with moisture-resistant Primaloft Black Rise insulation which has been sustainably manufactured from recycled materials. A fixed hood also provides additional cold-weather protection for the head and neck, and two zipped pockets ensure there is ample space for keeping your valuables within easy reach.
Some days on the bike don't warrant wrapping up in full cold weather kit but some extra insulation of your core is welcome. The Windchill Cycling Gilet II is the ideal choice for such days. Made from a cosy windproof fabric, it provides superb protection to the body, preventing body heat from being snatched away by bitterly cold winds. Inside, the thermal fabric works to create a warm cosy barrier against cool temperatures too. The standard-fit provides plenty of space for you to move and easily shift body weight without ever feeling restricted on the bike. The fit also makes the vest ideally suited to any cycling discipline - road, gravel, dirt - it's got you covered. Storage space is provided by the 3 rear pockets, keeping nutrition and spares within easy reach. The zipped security pocket keeps your car/house keys and cash safe too. And with reflective trim, you'll be more visible in low-light riding conditions.
The Montane Men's Featherlite Windproof Gilet is a comfortable, protective layer designed for fast-paced movement in the mountains. Made using a durable stretch fabric that regulates your core body temperature whilst blocking the wind, this men's gilet is ideal for runners who want to pack light but are still seeking some warmth and protection on colder runs.
Great way to watch TV, internet footage safely whilst training.
Out on the mountain bike, you'll often be encountering a whole mix of riding conditions as you make your way up and down the trails. And when the weather takes a turn for the chilly or you're flying downhill at speed, the Ranger Wind Cycling Vest prevents you from feeling the bite of wind chill. It's the ultralight Cordura™ that blocks wind from your core, keeping you warmer and more comfortable. And yet it's incredibly light so doesn't get in the way of your ride. It's tough too, protecting against cuts, snags and general wear and tear. To the back of the gilet, the knit-jersey back panel lets sweat vapour escape, ensuring even if you're riding hard, you won't be left soaked in sweat. Elastic hem and armholes keep the vest firmly in place too. When conditions improve or you're back on the climbs, it rolls up easily into its own front pocket, making for a small package to stash in a jersey pocket or backpack.
The front of the Aria Vest Gilet is completely windproof, preventing any loss of warmth via windchill. Meanwhile, the Striped mesh back fabric provides outstanding breathability so you don't get too hot and sweaty. And both materials are super-light, creating a vest coming in at 75g, meaning you'll barely feel the vest once it's on. However, it's not just the core windproof protection you'll love. The fit is brilliant too. Gone is a flappy, loose garment and in its place is a streamlined and stretchy fit that won't slow you down when cycling. Thanks to the stretch you still enjoy full mobility too. And when you're ready to take it off, it folds into its own pack pocket, taking up minimal space in your jersey pocket.

Blustery winds. Damp roads. Light rain showers. And then sunshine. If you're cycling through ever-shifting weather conditions, the Enthral Gilet offers easily accessible protection that won't weigh you down. The soft woven material provides excellent protection from the bite of the windchill on a cool morning, fast descents or blustery headwinds. And if there's low cloud and light rain in the air, the DWR finish prevents you from getting a chill from water soaking into your jersey. An elasticated bottom hem also keeps the gilet firmly in place and keeps the elements out and close-fitting shoulders minimise speed-sapping flapping. The stretch fabric also maintains an efficient fit and still lets you move easily when on the bike. If you want to push the pace, then the lightweight mesh back ensures any sweat build up you generate has an easy escape route. Open slits in the armpits promote better ventilation and airflow too. And with a two-way front zipper, you have complete control of temperature regulation while also giving easy access to jersey pockets underneath.
Worn either as an outer layer or as an extra insulating mid-layer the Pro SL PrimaLoft® Gilet II is a very effective option for adding extra warmth to your core. That warmth, however, doesn't mean bulk. The PrimaLoft® GOLD insulation provides excellent warmth to weight ratio meaning Endura can still make this garment very light and easily packable. The fit of the Pro SL Primaloft Gilet is athletic, utilising stretch side and hem panels so that it remains close to the body, making it great as an outer or mid-layer. If you're a rider who runs cold and is seeking extra insulation then you'll love the extra warmth this gilet offers. Lightweight and easy to stow it will keep you cosy on those cold base mile rides of winter or as an added protective outer layer in spring and autumn.
