Gilets / vests is one item of cycling clothing I wear from the end of winter right the way through to the start of the following winter. I have several different gilets from different manufacturers. Some are totally wind/shower proof whilst others are just another layer when it warmish but not hot enough just for wearing a jersey. I bought a Gorewear C3 gilet back in 2019 and is lovely and comfortable to wear and is wind and shower proof but it getting a little too tight a fit. This model is now discontinued so went for this Spirit model. I thought it would be the same fabric/material but it wasn't. This one has the same material as my newest jacket from Gore. It is not as comfortable and the material is more stiff / noisy if you know what I mean. It functions well and keeps the wind off you upper main body on days where you have a wind or a cool descent. On a hotter day the heat does build up. There is no openings at the bottom of the back panel to access your rear pockets in your jersey but does have a zipped pocket on your left chest which comes in handy. It packs down small but not as small as some of the other lighter weight gilets. The logos etc are reflective in headlights. The collar is high and comfortable as well. As ever with Gore the quality is good and so it should be with todays rrp’s. I comes in day glow yellow and black from sizes small through to xxxl.
RRP £99.00 and I paid £76.88 from Bikediscount de
