A gilet (vest) is arguably the most versatile piece of cycling clothing, and as the most packable form of shell protection, it is perfect for cool mornings, fast descents, and varying temperatures. The Race-Series Wind Gilet from Specialized is no exception. With a slim cut and just enough stretch to keep it form-fitted, it is an ideal carry-on for any ride with questionable conditions.

The front and shoulder panels are made with 100% Recycled Polyester to truly block the oncoming cold air and road spray. This keeps you warm by preserving your own body heat, but you won't overheat, and the lightweight, super flexible fabric packs down to nearly nothing. The rear panel has a mesh panel with a a light but useful stretch that maintains the fit, and more importantly allows maximum ventilation for excess heat and moisture.The folded over hem, arm openings, and collar keep some shape but are soft and comfortable. This is a true cycling piece, with an arced cut low front that won't bunch up, and a long tail rear for coverage even when you are hammering in the drops.

Specialized has applied their unique reflective trims to drastically increase your visibility to motorists 24-hours a day. The is a clean, simple, and technically capable gilet- a must have for every cyclist who takes their riding seriously.
