Gilets are much like knee warmers in that you never realise just how useful they are until you try them. Keeping the chill off you core helps keep the rest of you warm - so the addition of a light windproof layer can transform a jersey from 'too chilly' to 'just right' because it takes the edge off but you won't overheat either. They are great to fold into a pocket or pack to throw on before long descents, when even in summer (well actually, especially in summer when you are otherwise hot and sweaty and more prone to sudden cold), you can get chilled. The slim fit won't billow out but it slips on easily over jerseys, the ergonomically shaped collar and shifted seams making for maxiumum riding position comfort.
The Countdown AS is the perfect combination of lightweight packable fabric that protects - but with an open mesh back that still (as Minx likes to think of it), allows the steam out... Featuring two concelaed zip front pockets and reflective trim.
NOTE: pictured over a t-shirt because white is hellish to photgraph. It doesn't come with said t-shirt- but you knew that...
Minx likes: to pretend she's about to head out for a day in the Alps and not just an hour in the headwind down the Wyle Valley.
