Great piece of kit which I’ve used nearly every ride since buying. Takes the edge off the early morning starts and packs up nice and small once you warm up

Best gilet I’ve found!!! I constantly look for other colours but still nothing, very hard to find something to fit for my size but perfect fitting

Great product.

Great lightweight and highly visible gillet, which packs down really small into a jersy pocket. Keeps out the wind as well.

Great packable gillet

Lightweight, packable gilet. Keeps the wind away and fits in a jersey pocket. I always pack it on my rides when I expect a bit of cold wind.

Ultra Light indeed!

Very light, and packs down well. I bought the medium as there was nothing bigger available, however it's a bit snug so I'd prefer the large. Highly reflective so great for visibility on the road.

As good as the more expensive branded products

Windbreaker

Absolutely must have for every cyclist. Extra layer when descending or when the wind is strong. great product and Quality. Highly recommended!

Two way zipper away from perfection

I've had this gilet for a while now and it's done everything from my commute to holidays abroad and I can't rate it highly enough. As the title suggests, the only thing this gilet is missing is a two-way zipper, I’m just being picky really, but that would make this perfect. It's performed in a huge range of weather conditions, with layers underneath in the freezing cold to slipping over a summer jersey before long descents, it really is a near 4 season go to. Hands down, it beats all other more expensive fancy brand alternatives and I’ve recommended it to everyone who’s asked me for suggestions. It packs up perfectly to slide in your back pocket, is easy to unfold and put on when moving and offers great protection from the wind, and even rain. The stretchy back helps to offer a great fit, helps with breathability and the access flap makes it easy to get to your jersey pockets if you need to. It’s so good, I’ve got the long sleeve windproof version and the Van Rysel Rain Ultralight Jacket too – both of which are equally as good. (Pleeeeease fit them with a two-way zip!) Decathlon continues to make fantastic products that are excellent value in a sport that’s becoming increasingly more and more expensive, thank you! Need a gilet (BTW - every cyclist should have one)? Buy this. It’s great!

Too small, do Decathlon hate big cyclists?

I bought the 2XL because I am somewhat overweight, although not really obese. Nevertheless this gilet is both too tight around the middle, and too short. That would be fine if they produced sizes above 2XL but apparently Decathlon don't care about the bigger cyclist.
