Bearing in mind we’ve gone backwards weather wise over the past couple of weeks, I’m looking for a really light gilet. Something like a Montane Featherlight Gilet. Something just to tuck away in case the monsoon arrives whilst out and about.

Anybody got any recomendations for really light/packable gilets please?

dhb race gillet. Very light and shower proof.

I have one of these, fits in a back pocket with room to spare…

Only large left, sizing is typical roadie – so large = medium.

I saw a gore one in the shop in glencourig it has to be the lightest gillet you can get it was as light as toilet paper

I’ve got the Gore vest, it’s freakishly light and probably one of the best and most used bits of kit I own.

Just ordered the Scott one. Bargain at 15 quid posted!!

I really like my assos blitzFeder, I use it a lot it’s very light, packs down to nothing , shower proof windproof and breathable.The downside is it wasn’t cheap

I have a mavic one that fits your description.

£90 for a gilet? holy f….. 😯

How about a Lusso, they’re made in the UK as well.

Got a Nukeproof one that is wafer-thin and light.
It’s fairly wind-proof, but not sure it’s waterproof or would be much help in a monsoon….

£90 for a gilet? holy f…..

Yeah, I didn’t pay that. Not even close.

Montane Ultralight Gillet is the most used bit of clothing I own.

That DHB looks the ticket, ta. £90 for a Gore gilet? Yikes!

I really like my Mavic one, super light and lots of nice design features like zips which don’t get stuck etc 🙂

Cheers, Rich

That Gore one is still half the price of the Assos offering.

I have the Montane one. It’s really rather good.
