Vests to keep your core protected from the rain, wind and cold

The best cycling gilet, or the best cycling vest depending on where in the world you are, is an option that’s all about versatility.   When it’s sweltering in the hottest part of the summer, it’s easy to pick from a list of the best cycling jerseys and stay comfortable through the whole ride.   The same is true when you plan to head out in the dead of winter.   You can pick something from our list of the best cycling jackets and feel confident that you will be warm and comfortable from the beginning to the end of the ride.   Then there’s the in-between days.

In the fall and spring, the best cycling gilet can be a problem solver.   When you aren’t quite sure if it’s cold enough for a jacket but it’s definitely too cold for a jersey on its own, a cycling gilet will be your goldilocks garment.   Not too hot and not too cold but also easy to pack.   Cycling vests not only solve problems on their own but they also extend the usefulness of your favourite jackets and jerseys.   The bottom line is that having a go to cycling gilet is all about adding versatility to your bike wardrobe.
