The wind vest, perhaps behind only arm warmers, is the most versatile piece of cycling kit. Every rider should have at least one in their cycling wardrobe. A wind vest adds warmth by trapping heat around your core and cutting through cool breezes. And hit helps repel water and road spray on wet rides. It's also easy to unzip and stow in a pocket if weather conditions warrant.

When it's gray and cool we reach for the Steel Elevations Wind Vest made for us by Giordana. Like our Classic Vests, it has a snug fit, reflective highlights on the back, and three pockets, not always present on other vests making those other vests less functional than they could be. Offered in unisex sizing.
