Rated 2 out of 5 by from Update gone wrong What a disappointing change to a classic! The offset zip is gone. So are the pockets at the back. And the new material looks glossy / shiny, making it look cheap. Please bring back the style and design to this vest that made it unique and functional.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Zipper issue (damaging bibs) All perfect but again, the zipper is the problem. The idea with two-way zipper is great & useful. But (in my case, always) the low end of the zipper damages my bibs so much I have to have all the gillets repaired by my taylor and a lower zipper guard sown/added. Can you please think about it for the future…?

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Really nice vest This vest is super lightweight, paper thin. It does not breathe whatsoever . It is paper thin, and is not warm at all. Any little bump into anything and the vest automatically tears. It’s light, not very durable and super expensive . Do what you want with this

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Very lightweight, compact, and fits tall people I bought this for my husband. He does a lot of 100 mile mountain bike races and when you are out for a long time you often get a mix of weather. If it was hot and then rains and you have long downhills you can get quite cold. I got him this to cut the windchill without him having to carry any bulky articles of clothing. I was a little worried about the fit. He's tall and slim, 6'5" around 190lbs. The Large fits him well. The races are all finished for this year but he has worn it out on a 50 mile gravel ride and loved it.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Hi viz but why not reflective ? I bought the pink to be hi visibility but surprised that the double strip is not reflective ???? Should be reflective too

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Light but expensive Very light, packable and windproof but doesn’t breathe well, fabric feels cheap and stripes aren’t reflective like other brevet products. Doesn’t seem good value compared to what other brands offer.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Updated design with upgraded performance Having previously owned the Brevet Vest with Pockets, the new Brevet Gilet is a simpler, sleeker, and all-around better vest with packability. While the material is thinner and more translucent, the vest is just as protective from wind. The brevet stripes are not reflective for some reason, but noticeable still. In a way, eliminating the rear pockets and instead adding a zipped front right pocket encourages me to be more thoughtful about how I prepare for a ride.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from It’s just meh…not the quality I’m used to w/ rapah This is a very very light weight vest. Offers no protection from much of anything. I will be sending it back.

Is the DWR coating on this PFAS/PFC free?

The DWR on the fabric of the Brevet Gilet is not PFC free. We are working towards 2025 to make the DWR PFC free.

What is the main difference to the MEN'S PRO TEAM LIGHTWEIGHT GILET?

Asked by: PatrickG
The main difference is in the fit. The Brevet line fits a bit more relaxed, whereas the Pro Team line is a tighter, race fit. Also, the back of the Pro Team Lightweight Gilet is a sort of mesh material whereas the Brevet Gilet only has a mesh panel at the top of the back for better airflow.

This version of gilet seems to have a much lighter fabric and feel.  UL and windproof usually go together with poor breathability.  Is this versions material less breathable then the prior models with heavier feeling fabric?

Asked by: JMF68
This gilet isn't as breathable as our Pro Team gilet, which sports a back mesh panel for heat escape. While being extremely lightweight, this one is a great option for chillier rides or rides with variable conditions where you know you can stop and add or subtract layers.

Hello, I wear a XXL Core jersey and have a 46 inch chest and 38 inch waist. Would you recommend the XXL or XL brevet gilet?

Hi, I am 5'-7" (171 cm) and 66 Kgs. Small size in Men's Pro Team training Jersey and Small size in Men's Core Jersey fit perfectly. What Size would you recommend for this Gilet, also considering I would use it over those jerseys + base layer?

Asked by: pabsolano
I would recommend that you still keep to a size small for the gilet.

I wear a medium Brevet jersey, so would the medium gilet be the correct size for going over the long-sleeve jersey and a baselayer in winter? I'm 171cm and 73kg.

Asked by: Greg69
Yes, we recommend a size M in this gilet as well.
