Review: Not the cheapest (or most expensive), but good green credentials & great performance cycling pearsoncycles
Designed to be warmer than a standard lightweight gilet, the front section is both windproof and insulated, incorporating Polartec Alpha insulation, while the fabric at the rear is thermal, with a brushed finish. The outer fabric is super stretchy and also has a durable water repellent finish.
A heavy shower was largely defeated, too, with me staying dry inside, and any moisture on the outer layer dries off very quickly. Despite the thermal fabric and insulation, the gilet rolls up just about small enough to pop into a rear jersey pocket when not needed. The softly elasticated armholes also do a good job of keeping warm air in, although if you have particularly slender arms you might find them a little on the loose side.Following the size guide on the Pearson website, I tested an XL. As a high street 14-16 I was slightly disappointed that this is the largest size Pearson currently offers, but the shape and cut, along with the highly stretchy fabric and elastication at the hem, meant it sat well and should fit various body shapes.
