A lightweight cycling gilet created as an always-with-you extra layer of protection for cool mornings, chilly evenings or the cold descent from the highest cols.
The Charles High Summer Gilet is an ultra thin top layer you can bring all year around. It is extremely lightweight since it created with the finest and thinest fabrics available on the market.
You can store it easily in your pockets and use it on the cold descents or just for the first hours of you summer ride.
We wanted to create the gilet you always want to carry with you.
The front of the gilet is divided in two. The chest, collar and neck is made in a super thin elastic wind- and water proof membrane to protect your body where you need it most.
The lowest part of the front is made in a lightweight wind protecting lycra to make it really flexible and still offer a bit of protection on the lower part.
The back piece of this gilet is made in a mesh which aids ventilation and allows excess heat and moisture to escape. It is one of the thinest fabrics available on the market at this moment. And to make it even lighter and breathable we have perforated the fabric - and you wont even notice wearing this gilet.
