The front of the Women's Aria 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 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.
Whatever the season, the Sport Gilet II is worth popping in a jersey pocket, just in case you need some extra protection from the elements. Whether it's a rapid descent from an Alpine pass in summer or a damp, chilly start on an autumn morning, the wind-resistant front takes the edge off the bite of windchill. Meanwhile, the mesh zone across the back regulates temperature, preventing you from overheating and dealing quickly with sweat when you pick up the pace. Details have been carefully designed to give you superb comfort too. A chin guard prevents irritation from the zipper and a soft lined collar provides a comfortable closure around the neck. A full-length zipper makes it easy to get your gilet on and off and the silicone hem gripper gives a snug fit with your shorts or tights.
