Brevet Element Gilet - Men's

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I keep this gilet in my saddle bag for every shoulder season ride. It cuts the chill on early descents but stashes down small enough to disappear when the sun comes out. The rear zip pocket is super handy for keys or a snack bar."

The Brevet Element Gilet is one of those layers we never leave home without. Designed to fend off brisk winds and chilly descents, it’s a lightweight, windproof barrier that punches above its weight. Whether we’re warming up on dawn patrols or chasing daylight on evening spins, this gilet adds just the right amount of core protection without bulk.

Its streamlined fit layers easily over a jersey, and the rear zip pocket keeps valuables secure through long-range efforts. We especially love the two-way front zip—it makes it easy to vent on climbs or reach jersey pockets underneath. Reflective details enhance visibility when riding into dusk, while the entire vest packs small enough to tuck into a jersey pocket when conditions improve. Built with Brevet-worthy endurance in mind, this is a daily essential for fast tours and variable forecasts alike.
