Beautiful colour finish on this gilet and spot on for recent cold winds in the UK. The cut and fit is spot on and it folds easily into it's own zip pocket for storage. Not the cheapest option, but certainly one of the best looking and materials seem good quality.

Reviews
Really lightweight and packable gilet that does the job for those colder rides and mornings where a jacket isn't necessary. Will definitely get a lot of use. However, sizing is a bit off. Could be down to it being unisex. I'm usually a Medium is my cycling gear (5'10" 75kg) but was forced to return the Medium for a Large as it was unbearably tight around the chest. Large fits far better around the chest, but is just slightly too flappy around the waist.

Q & A
3 questions answered
On the universal colours website this gilet is shown with a 2 way zipper and the models have it unzipped from the bottom. I can only see 1 way zipper in these photos? Can you confirm?
Hi Simone, Please contact the Customer Care Team Directly and we can look into this for you, Many thanks Joe W
Would the main iridescent fabric be reflective in traffic, or only the logos?
Hi Cal, Only the Logos will be reflective, Many thanks Joe W
Sad to have missed these, are they coming back in stock?
Hi Chapowski, We won't be getting anymore of these in stock for this year, however, there are some more Gilet's due from Universal Colours around the start of next year. Many thanks, Max
