Our first weather-resistant vest in a new softer, stretchier fabric.

Our favorite Do-It-All layer, this cycling vest is wind-proof and water-resistant, making it ideal for long rides with changing weather conditions. From drizzly mornings to windy descents, the super-soft, 4-Way Stretch fabric is perfectly suited to anytime weather might become a factor.

Even on sunny days, we continue to reach for this vest due to its 2 extra-large rear pockets, sized to fit anything from larger layers to a dozen eggs (mid-ride farmers’ market stop anyone?). So much more than a simple shell, this piece is a true workhorse — up for protecting against unexpected showers, making chilly descents a breeze, carrying layers and snacks enough for a century, and keeping you visible with reflective hits.

The two colorways are both unexpected and fresh for cycling. From vivid red to rich marigold, it's our favorite way to stay safe and visible without looking like a highlighter.

Notes about fit

For cycling jackets and vests, the BUST MEASUREMENT is the most crucial factor.
Measure around the WIDEST POINT of the chest, not the ribcage.
If you are in between sizes or petite, we recommend SIZING DOWN for a compressive fit.
A snug fit is crucial to performance.

Perfect Fall Vest for Central Coast of California

With arm warmers under my long sleeve summer weight jersey, this is a perfect way to stay warm on my cold morning rides. Today it was 54 degrees and breezy when I started my ride and 70 when I ended. I was able to leave my vest on for the entire ride and was never uncomfortable.

All Weather Vest

Great color, very well made, but a little tight in the fit. I ordered a medium and it's been extremely comfortable, but it is a small medium. I'd definitely recommend this product to others but depending on body type it could be helpful to go for a size up. On the other hand, the tight fit makes it perfect cycling kits and aerodynamics, so it really depends on the person! I'll be wearing this until the deep winter comes!

I literally haven't taken this off

This vest has been so perfect for fall New England weather. It's a little thicker material than other cycling vests I've worn, so it's much better at blocking wind and keeping your core warm on long, chilly descents. It also breathes so well that usually I opt to just unzip it a little vs remove it when the weather warms up a bit. For reference, I'm 5'6" usually a small in race-fit kits and the vest fits perfectly with a little room to layer a wool base layer and thermal jersey underneath. The one downside is that the yellow is like fall camo here in New England.

Practically Perfect In Every Way

I took the vest for it's first ride today. It keep me warm enough but not overheated on a crisp morning ride in the 50s. The mesh back and large pockets are great. I would love to see a more heavy-duty and easier to use zipper, though. It seems to be the weak link on this very excellent garment.

Love it

I was drawn to this vest due to the bright color (I decided on the gold). Highly recommend! Great layer to keep the warm on early morning rides. It’s well designed and has a flattering cut. medium is perfect and is what their calculator suggested based on my measurements. (5’4,135 lbs, 32D)

I also wear it while running (to be visible / have some weather protection...mostly to have a pocket for my phone )- works well for that too!
