three places, three grades
a grade with no reason is not a grade
- hikingsuitable
- Warms the core on a stop without adding bulk at the shoulder where a pack sits.
- cyclingsuitable
- Arms stay free for reach to the bars, front panel takes the wind at the chest. Back panel is cut 5 cm long.
- commutingsuitable
- Works over a shirt indoors, and it is the piece most likely to stay on at a desk.
Cycling grades account for back hem length, sleeve length with your arms forward on the bars, and whether there is a rear pocket you can reach. Rear pocket on this piece: no.

the piece
A body-mapped vest with 60 g/m² recycled polyester wadding in the front and back panels and unlined side panels. We publish the fill weight and the fill type. We do not publish a temperature figure, because no standard exists for one on a garment like this.
what it does, and where it stops
how we test- insulation
- Recycled polyester wadding, 60 g/m² fill weight
- garment weight
- 286 g in EU 50 / M
- packed volume
- 0.6 L
- water repellency
- light — PFC-free DWR, C0 chemistry, applied to the face fabric
- when the finish runs out
- 20 to 30 machine washes, sooner where a pack or saddle rubs
- how you will know
- water stops beading and rolls into the weave instead; the face fabric darkens where it soaks in
- how to renew it
- Wash it clean first, then apply a wash-in or spray-on repellent, then reactivate with a warm tumble dry or a warm iron through a cloth.
- hydrostatic resistance (EN ISO 811)
- Not published.
- breathability (EN ISO 11092)
- Not published.
Fill type and fill weight are the whole story. We publish no temperature figure for any garment, because there is no harmonised standard that would make one meaningful.
Measured stuffed into its own pocket and compressed by hand — not a machine-compressed figure.
Sheds a shower and wind-driven spray. It is not a rain barrier: in steady rain the face fabric wets out and water reaches the layer underneath, first at the shoulders and the seat.
Not measured. This garment is water-repellent only, so no hydrostatic figure is published for it.
Not yet measured. No breathability figure is published and no breathability claim is made until it is measured to this standard.
- Fill: recycled polyester wadding at 60 g/m², front and back panels only
- No temperature figure is published — fill weight and fill type are the honest data here
- Stitch-through baffles at 8 cm, no adhesive
- Packs into its own left pocket, 0.6 L
