Hello all,
Has anyone found a lightweight, windproof but not waterproof, gilet that they like? My current main commuting one is falling apart, but I haven't been able to find another quite like it to replace it with, and because I bought it years ago in a sport shop in Sweden (it's their own brand) I can't replace it like for like.
The perfect gilet for me is:
Hi viz yellow
Has big strips of 3M reflecting material around it.
Mesh back.
No, or minimal, back pockets, as I use a rucksack to ride to work.
Super-breathable (hence windproof, but not waterproof).
Very light and packable.
I have three other gilets - none of them are quite right. A Decathlon one that is everything else except light and highly breathable. Good in drizzle or really cold weather but too warm/sweaty for everything else. Another very light, very breathable, one from Decathlon (Van Rysel) but it's black and only has little reflective bits on it. And another one from the Swedish sport shop's own brand. It's yellow, breathable and quite light, but doesn't have as good reflectors and has both drop pockets and a zip pocket at that back that I can feel under my pack.
It's so annoying when you know exactly what you want but can't find anything exactly like that, despite there being loads of options that are quite like that! Cheers for any leads anyone might have.
