What they say: Light, convenient and durable, the ultimate addition to your kit. Finished with a reflective Santini logo on the back for added visibility.
What we say: Made from an incredibly lightweight Scudo fabric this proved to be windproof, waterproof and impressively breathable. As you might expect from Santini, fit is on the aero side, so consider a bigger size than you’d usually plump for unless you’re a racing snake. That said, the shell’s fabric, armholes and hem are elasticated, so restricted movement isn’t a problem.
The full-length zip at the front has a zip garage at the top and a storm flap at the bottom for added comfort/ functionality. There is no access to your jersey’s pockets at the rear, but there is a self-contained, zipped pocket to the left-hand side at the back which is good for stashing valuables and essentials, as well as folding the entire gilet into for easy storage. A subtle reflective Santini logo aids with visibility. Available in either black or white in sizes S-XXL.
