About Our Women's Gilets & Jackets
Our Cycling Gilets and Jackets are sized to go over a jersey so you shouldn't need to go up a size unless you're wearing it over several layers. See specific information about each garment fitting below
*When To Wear is a GUIDE. Your body temperature will affect your needs. If you find that you are wet on the inside, you're wearing too many layers
Our women's wear is designed by women and cut to our own female specific cut, with room for your boobs, waist and hips
