RAPHA Explore Lightweight Gilet L

A lightweight, packable gilet with integrated hanger loop for convenient storage. When riding longer distances, a packable outer layer is crucial to tackling changing conditions. The Explore Lightweight Gilet provides protection from the elements when you need it, and stows away neatly when you don’t. Made from a lightweight 25gsm fabric, it’s one of the lightest outer layers we make. Providing breathable protection, the gilet aids temperature regulation in a range of conditions with a durable water repellency (DWR) treatment for water resistance on wet days. The entire garment packs away tightly into a small side pocket, with pull loops to attach it to your bike or luggage. The styling is minimal to ensure the garment is as light as possible, with a smaller front zip placket and a hem cord without the usual pullers. The back features a hanger loop for quick drying.
