What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:"I keep this gilet in my back pocket on any fast group ride. It blocks wind way better than its weight suggests, barely flaps at speed, and the two-way zipper is clutch when I need a little ventilation without losing access to my jersey pockets."Cool descents and exposed ridgelines feel more predictable when the Rapha Pro Team Gilet is part of our kit. Rapha’s lightweight woven front panels cut wind and resist passing showers, giving us a stable barrier when the air temperature drops or the effort eases. The stretch back panels keep the fit engaged and quiet, minimizing drag so we can stay focused on keeping the wheels turning smoothly. During longer training days, the two-way zipper becomes essential—opening from the top for airflow during hard climbs or from the bottom when we need quick access to jersey pockets. Reflective Pro Team details boost visibility as the light dims, and when the sun returns, the entire gilet packs down small enough to disappear into a jersey pocket. It’s simple, efficient protection for the pace we prefer to ride.
