Castelli Unlimited Puffy Gilet Uomo, grigio/nero

Good for everything from road riding to bikepacking, this vest packs a surprising amount of warmth into a surprisingly small amount of space.

The microfiber shell fabric keeps the wind out, while the Polartec Alpha Direct insulating layer provides exceptional warmth with minimal weight.

The stretch side panels improve fit and ventilation and are treated to be water repellent, as is the rest of the vest. There's a zippered chest pocket for valuables, and two large back pockets for easy access.

The wide range of conditions that this vest covers means that you'll use it on the road in the spring and autumn, wear it on your gravel rides in the mountains during the summer, and stash it in your handlebar bag on your next bikepacking adventure.
