The Wind Essential gilet is an ultra-lightweight and very compact folding model. It's perfect as an extra layer for cool and breezy mornings. Its windproof front prevents the wind from chilling your torso while avoiding overheating. The mesh back panel lets excess heat escape without bothering you. Thanks to its water-resistant body, cycling in a light shower isn't a problem. The back pockets of a t-shirt or jacket you wear under this gilet are easily accessible thanks to the two-way zipper. Just unzip the bottom of the gilet to easily access the contents of the back pockets. This gilet is the ideal solution for layering and allows you to be seen in the dark. It's very compact and easy to stow away when the temperature rises or when the wind drops.
