What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying: "I've been testing the Pro Team Shadow Gilet this spring and it's a huge leap forward. It's super light, it packs down small, and it actually breathes when I'm pushing hard on climbs. The double zip is a clutch feature for mid-ride cooling, and the stretch fit doesn't bunch or flap at speed."When we're chasing watts on long training rides or braving unpredictable weather on early-season epics, the Rapha Pro Team Shadow Gilet is the layer we trust to keep us moving. Designed with input from pros and built from an advanced microporous membrane, this gilet balances top-tier wind and water resistance with impressive breathability. It's lightweight, highly packable, and stretches to move with us in aggressive positions. Where earlier race gilets struggled with heat build-up or stiff fits, the Shadow Gilet is a clear evolution. Critically taped seams bolster weather protection, while the dual zipper lets us dump heat quickly without losing core coverage.
