When two-wheeled adventure calls but the weather is looking on the cold side, the Women's Giara Layer Vest is the perfect body warmer to choose. This multi-layer gilet is both warm and breathable, just right for a ride where pace and effort levels can vary wildly as the terrain changes. Biting cold winds are no problem thanks to the windproof outer layer. Elsewhere, the 3D polyester fabric inside and brushed double-layer back are both impressively good at dealing with any perspiration you build up when cycling. And once you add the Thermore® insulation, this is a vest with far more warmth than your traditional cycling gilet. Mesh chest pockets give you extra storage beyond your cycling jersey and reflective trims add eye-catching detail when you're too busy enjoying your ride to end it anytime before nightfall.
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. "It's so easy to take an extra layer on your ride thanks to the packable nature of this gilet. Days when you don't know what the weather holds, the Sport Gilet II will be your trusty companion to hold off the rain and wind." - YANTO BARKER - Le col Founder Care instructions Machine Wash at 30°C / 86°F Do not use fabric conditioner Close all zippers/velcro fastenings Dry flat, do not tumble dry Do not bleach, iron or dry clean We'd also suggest turning inside out prior to washing and keeping them separate from other items by popping them into a mesh laundry bag
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.
Low-calorie high electrolyte effervescent tablet to hydrate during training or racing:., Simply drop in water to give a high electrolyte drink., High in sodium to help promote hydration., When hydration is required without the added caloriesAbout SiS GO HydroSiS GO Hydro represents a cutting edge and scientifically based formulation that is designed to ensure you are effectively hydrated to produce your best performance. As an effervescent tablet that readily dissolves in plain water, it represents a highly practical approach (simply drop one tablet in your 500 ml water bottle) to ensure that all of your electrolyte and fluid requirements are met in its most simple format. SiS GO Hydro is a practical strategy to ensure hydration without the calories.Why should I take SiS GO Hydro?During moderate to intense exercise, we may produce 1-2 litres (L) of sweat (that contains both fluid and important electrolytes) per hour depending on the exact environmental conditions. If such fluid losses are not replaced at an appropriate rate, dehydration occurs and performance can be impaired. In a dehydrated state, our body temperature rises, our heart rate increases, we deplete carbohydrate stores quicker and we perceive the exercise to be more intense. In essence, we have to work so much harder just to perform at the same speed or power output and thus, dehydration is considered a major cause of fatigue. In the context of maintaining hydration status, sodium is the most important electrolyte as it helps to stimulate thirst, improve fluid palatability and promote fluid absorption and retention. SiS GO Hydro meets your sodium requirements in an appropriate amount (0.7 grams per L) and concentration (30 mmol/L) that is scientifically proven to produce superior hydration compared with plain water.Recommended UsageTo ensure hydration prior to training or racing, consume at least 500 ml of GO Hydro approximately 3-4 hours prior to your event with a further 250-500 ml at 2 hours prior to starting. During exercise itself, traditional guidelines advise a drinking strategy that prevents dehydration equating to 2% loss in body mass. In practice, such a drinking strategy usually equates to 500 ml per hour and depending on the environmental conditions, your thirst will likely determine if your body requires more. If aiming to combine hydration and energy delivery, SiS GO Energy could be combined with the SiS GO Gels and GO Bar range to ensure both adequate carbohydrate and fluid delivery during exercise.Nutritional Information:Typical values per tablet 4.5g., Energy: 36.8kj/8.8kcal., Protein: 0.0g., Carbohydrate: 0.8g., of which sugars: 0.1g., Fat: 0.0g., of which saturates: 0.0g., Fibre: 0.2g., Sodium: 30mmol/l 0.3Vitamins and Mineral % RDA ., Thiamin: 0.2mg 18%., Riboflavin: 0.3mg 21%., Vitamin B6: 0.4mg 29%., Calcium: 102mg 5.11mmol/l 13%., Magnesium: 8.1mg 0.66mmol/l 2%., Zinc: 1.3mg 0.04mmol/l 13%., Potassium: 65mg 3.32mmol/l 3%Suitable for vegans
