Key features of a hi viz cycling gilet

  • Windproof: controlling your core temperature is crucial for adequate thermoregulation when riding in the face of wind-chill. Consider buying a hi-viz cycling gilet with clearly stated wind-chill protection.
  • Waterproof: again, keeping your core dry is crucial to thermoregulation and so consider a gilet that is showerproof at the very least but ideally water resistant because the front of your upper torso will take the brunt of the weather.
  • Pockets. You can never have too many pockets when riding, and choosing a gilet with pockets front and/or back with cost you a little more but will give you added storage space and flexibility. Large zip pocket at the back will provide the most convenience while minimizing drag and interference with your cycling action.
  • Lightweight and Compact or not. If you are cycling for exercise or sports, then you may want to consider a pack away gilet that can be easily stowed in your jersey back pocket when not needed. These will most likely have limited insulation and so may not be so suitable if you are using it for day round warmth. If you need a more substantial hi viz cycling gilet that can provide warmth on cooler commutes you should look for a gilet with some fleece lining.
  • Comfort and breathability. A close fit is great for aerodynamics and minimizing drag but it can restrict your movement so look for gilets with some elasticated seams and with mesh paneling on the back & sides for comfort and freshness whilst exercising.
