Men’s Cycling Gilets

How demanding a cycling workout can be is known only to those who have tried at least once to give it their all on the road or off-road. If intense training is exactly what your sporty nature is drawn to, it’s worth taking care of your comfort and safety by choosing the right functional clothing. One of the garments that every cyclist who treats their bike as more than just an occasional means of transport should definitely have in their wardrobe is a men’s cycling gilet. Check when they come in handy and what high-class men’s cycling gilets should be like.

Men’s cycling gilet

We have also added a men’s cycling gilet to our men’s cycling jackets. It’s lightweight and can be an additional protective layer (worn over a jacket) or light extra warmth for the areas of the body that are strategic for health (thrown on over a short-sleeved jersey). It works particularly well as wind protection during descents. We sewed pockets in various forms into the men’s cycling gilet: back pockets (e.g. for energy gels) and a rain-resistant pocket for a card, phone, keys. Naturally, we equipped the men’s cycling gilet with reflectives – discreet, graphite-coloured, but reflecting light with the same intensity as the classic ones. 

A men’s cycling gilet works brilliantly during warm-ups or rides on cool days. It’s part of a capsule collection, so it pairs seamlessly with the rest of ATTIQ cycling clothing

A high-quality men’s cycling gilet from ATTIQ is an optimal solution for those cyclists who want to protect the most sensitive parts of their body from the wind, while at the same time they can’t stand the feeling of overheating. The men’s cycling gilet provides an optimal level of ventilation and, in addition, does not restrict movement, which is why it will work both for road enthusiasts and gravel riders, and even for off-road fans. It protects the back and chest, improves aerodynamics, and at the same time is lightweight and compact – it’s not a burden and you can take it off at any time and roll it up.

Men’s cycling gilet for all weathers

A men’s cycling gilet is not just an extra item of clothing of questionable usefulness. Just look at the circumstances in which such clothing is most often used:

• Mornings and evenings – especially in spring and autumn, even if the days are warm, with temperatures reaching (or even exceeding) 20°C, mornings and evenings can still be really chilly. It’s worth putting on a men’s cycling gilet to ensure your body maintains an optimal temperature.

• Long routes – when heading off on a longer journey, it’s worth being prepared for anything. At the same time, hardly anyone feels like weighing down their bike by taking several kinds of clothing. A gilet is highly versatile in this respect – it will warm what needs warming, while providing ventilation and a basic level of protection against wind or rain.

• Varied routes – anyone who prefers terrain other than a flat park path has to reckon with tiring climbs interspersed with longer descents. On the first, it’s easy to sweat, and on the second, a sweaty body can get chilled by the wind. A men’s cycling gilet is excellent protection – it wicks moisture outwards and protects the skin from the direct impact of the wind.

Men’s cycling gilet – warmth and comfort

Many companies offer men’s cycling gilets. What should you pay attention to when choosing a product for yourself? The following parameters are particularly important:

• Thermoregulation properties – a men’s cycling gilet should protect against the cold, but at the same time prevent overheating. Regardless of whether it is made of natural or synthetic fibres, its task is to wick moisture outwards and prevent it from accumulating on the surface of the skin.

• Water resistance and windproofing – a good men’s cycling gilet will protect the back and chest from light rain and moderate wind. Remember that it’s not a waterproof jacket – when it really starts raining, the gilet won’t stop the water, but at least it will let you reach the nearest shelter.

• Comfortable cut – a men’s cycling gilet must not cause pressure, but it also shouldn’t be too loose. Pay attention to the size chart and choose a product that fits your body shape.

• Additional features – a high-quality men’s cycling gilet can serve many additional functions. Sewn-in pockets will let you do without other storage accessories, because you can fit a phone, documents, keys, an energy snack, or a water bottle in them. Reflective inserts will significantly improve your visibility on the road.
