The Ultralight Vest, our lightest protective layer, is updated for 2021 with new colors and the addition of a dual-use stow pocket: hold valuables while wearing the vest on a ride or fold it inside the pocket while not in use to maximize storage space in your jersey pocket. Designed to be the most minimal and lightweight protective layer we could design, it is a go-to for early morning starts, Tuesday Night Worlds cool downs or Col du Galibier descents when you've run out of newspaper. This is a must-have emergency layer that will find its way into your pocket most of the year. At just 30 grams per meter, the Japanese milled Pertex Quantum Air nylon used in the front, sides and shoulders is 100% windproof, breathable and exceptionally light.
Fabric: 100% Nylon
Made in: Italy
Caring for your cycling gear properly will extend its life and maintain its performance, fit and quality. It’s important to consider these instructions carefully. While we stand behind the quality of our apparel, not adhering to these instructions will void our warranty against manufacturing & defects.
We strongly recommend washing your new gear before wearing it. You’ll find that your apparel will soften, and fit & comfort will improve after washing - especially with bibs & shorts.
Machine wash cool, 86°F (30°C) with like colors: Cooler temps maintain better longevity for your apparel. Like colors, especially lights, will remain more vibrant when washed with like colors.
Use mild detergent. Do not bleach or dry clean: Strong detergents & bleach can break down the fibers and elastane in the garment, dramatically reducing its life.
Close all fastenings: this goes also for other garments mixed in with your cycling apparel. Velcro closures or clasps can catch on stitching or trim and damage your garments.
Lay flat to dry. Do not tumble dry: Do not put your cycling apparel in the dryer. Even on low heat. Don’t do it. Heat can damage fabric, elastic and heat transfer logos very easily. Lycra (Elastane) is used throughout our garments to provide compression and support and is susceptible to damage from heat and can irreparably damage your apparel.
How do your vests fit?
Our vests are patterned for the riding position, with a tighter fit across the chest and an arm opening with a more forward position. This is intentional to reduce flapping and extra fabric across the chest while riding. When standing, the vest will feel tight across the chest and torso. This piece should fit tight over your jersey (with enough room for a long sleeve and base layer), and shouldn’t appear baggy. We select fabrics that have some elasticity to allow for freedom of movement even with a tailored fit to accommodate some range of fit within each size.
How do your jackets fit?
Similar to our vests, our jackets are patterned in the riding position, with a tight fit across the chest and arms with a more forward position. This is intentional to reduce flapping and extra fabric across the chest while riding. When standing, the jacket will feel tight across the chest, shoulders and torso. The arm length might appear long as well. However, the intended fit is tailored for on-the-bike positioning where the shoulders and torso no longer feel tight and the extra arm length hits the wrists in the appropriate spot. Constructed without extra fabric to flap around - it should fit tight over your jersey (with enough room for a long sleeve and base layer), but shouldn’t appear baggy. We select fabrics that have some elasticity to allow for freedom of movement even with a tailored fit to accommodate some range of fit within each size.

United Stateseveryone needs a lightweight vest, and you can’t go wrong with this one. The back could not be more ventilated. The wind-stopping fabric only covers what it needs to. The collar comes up high on the neck, but isn’t tight. The zippers are robust enough that I don’t worry about breaking them during on-the-bike zips.My favorite part is that it fits into it’s own zip pocket slightly bigger than an iPhone. I’m 5’9”, 160 lbs. and chose M
United StatesNew version of the ultralight vest is great. Sizing and fit have been improved to avoid any excess flap as noted on the shoulders with previous line. 5’9” and 70 kg with a great fit in size SM. Works great over base and Signature LS Jersey.
United StatesThis vest is perfect and does exactly what it’s supposed to. No flapping but it still stretches perfectly. Need more colors!
