Description

Rapha’s original Brevet Gilet quickly become one of the most popular cycling vests in the industry when it was launched in 2011. Much-loved for successfully combining hi-vis and reflective details into a non-garish, smart design, it has been worn by cyclists all over, from long-distance epics to commutes to work, and everything in-between. For 2017, Rapha’s product developers set themselves a task: how to improve it?

The biggest change is a newly engineered rear pocket structure: the middle pocket cleverly opens out into a full width pocket ‘bag’, allowing you to easily store larger jackets or the provisions required for a long-distance ride without cramming them into small pockets. The gilet has been refined all over for a cleaner finish. The now iconic Brevet reflective and hi-vis stripes remain across the chest and back, while improved mesh side panels stretch to even accommodate full jersey pockets. The zip is now two-way, improving versatility for temperature regulation and access to jersey pockets. Even more packable than before, the Brevet Gilet remains the go-to for those in-between moments when a jersey isn’t warm enough and a jacket would be too hot.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Gilet Great quality gilet, great to have pockets. Downside is it doesn't come with a pouch and is maybe not as packable as some thinner makes but overall looks good and performs well. I am though constantly annoyed about the rapha sizing! I am a UK size 6 and according to the Rapha size guide a Small in all products. mostly this is correct but this Gilet is very generous in size as have a couple of my previous Jersey's. I think it compares to a medium in most other brands and I wish I'd exchanged for the XS but as with most things you want to wear them straight away.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great gilet My only complaint is that it's a bit loose, I'd like a tighter fit. Love the gilet overall - it does the job and is quite good-looking.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Very versatile The gilet is lighter weight than my other gilets, which means I will get more use out of it. Wore it on a day with some clouds and some sun, and the tempature regulation was good. Love the zipper--you can unzip from the bottom and the top, which really helps with venting heat. Turquoise color and reflective stripes assist with visability. The waist is a little more cut in than my older Rapha regular gilet and rain gilet. If you carry more weight around the middle, size up.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Great visibility poor quality I’m actually disappointed with this purchase. I’ve picked up cycling more seriously the past month and ordered this for cool fall mornings for its windproof capability. I do appreciate that about it and how visible I am to drivers. However, The first time I wore it there was already a pull on the fabric near the zipper. I haven’t even washed it yet!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from A must-have for cyclists The weather where i cycle is very unpredictable. We may experience drastic change from cold to hot within the same ride. The gilet is perfect to keep me warm in the cold under the Soupless training cape. It is totally packable when the temperature rises. The back is a bit long on me because i am only 5ft2.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great looking gillet Loved the features, feel and look of this gillet. Unfortunately I had to return the size S as it ran long for my height and slightly large. I’m 150cm, 50kg and wanted a snug fit so kept an XS in a different style. Overall an excellent product when you find your fit!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good visibility Worn on a recent trip to Tenerife to improve visibility on the crazy roads. Was good as a sleeveless top just over bib shorts to keep cool, and then protected on descents

Any idea whether this would qualify as an EN-approve reflective vest for Paris Brest Paris? Consider adding more reflectivity. I wish the Rapha line for women worked better for shorter/petite women with shorter torsos.

It is not 100% up to par with their requirements.
