C&C Core Gilet - Mens

The Ultimate Versatile Layer

Designed in Sydney for the rider who refuses to let the elements dictate the ride, the Caffeine & Cranks Core Gilet is your essential defensive layer against the wind and chill. Lightweight and packable, this vest is engineered to provide windproof protection on the front while maintaining maximum breathability on the back, ensuring you stay comfortable from dawn until the sun stays high.

Key Layering Features:

• Strategic Protection: Windproof front panels block the morning chill, while a highly breathable mesh back prevents overheating as the tempo increases.
• Ideal Climate Range: Optimized for conditions between 5°C and 15°C—the perfect companion for cool mornings and long descents.
• Tailored Aero Fit: A sleek, non-restrictive cut designed to complement your jersey and provide a streamlined silhouette without compromising movement.
• Enhanced Utility: Features a smooth full-length YKK zipper for easy on-the-fly removal and three oversized reinforced back pockets for extra storage.
• High Visibility: Integrated reflective details ensure you remain seen during those early morning dawn patrols and low-light finishes.

Build Your System

The Core Gilet is the ultimate master of temperature regulation. Pair it perfectly with our Men's Cycling Jerseys and layered over a Core Baselayer for the complete technical setup.
