Question 4

When should I wear cycling gilets?

Accepted Answer

Wear cycling gilets during early morning rides when temperatures are cool but will warm up later - the gilet protects your core initially then packs into your jersey pocket as it warms. Use cycling gilets for long descents after climbs to prevent core temperature loss from wind chill. Deploy cycling gilets when weather is variable or unpredictable - they're your insurance against changing conditions. Perfect for Indian winter mornings (15-20°C starts) and hill station rides where descents are cold but climbs are warm. Rapha, Maap, and Sportful cycling gilets are essential pieces that every serious cyclist should own for versatile layering options.

Question 5

How should cycling gilets fit?

Accepted Answer

Cycling gilets should fit close to the body without being restrictive, allowing room for a jersey or jersey plus base layer underneath. The fit should be snug enough to prevent wind flapping but not so tight that it restricts breathing or movement. Armholes in cycling gilets should be comfortable without gaps that let cold air in. Length should cover your lower back when in riding position. Italian brands (Santini, Sportful) run smaller than British brands (Rapha), so check size charts carefully for cycling gilets. If between sizes, consider what you'll wear underneath - size up if layering over thick jerseys, stay true to size for summer weight layers.

Question 6

Can I pay cash on delivery for cycling gilets?

Accepted Answer

Yes, COD (Cash on Delivery) is available on all cycling gilets orders across India for your convenience. You can inspect the packaging when your cycling gilets arrive and pay the delivery person in cash. We also accept online payments via credit card, debit card, UPI, and net banking. For high-value cycling gilets from premium brands like Rapha, Maap, Pas Normal Studios, and Assos, COD ensures you can verify packaging integrity and authenticity upon delivery before payment.

Question 7

What's the difference between windproof and insulated cycling gilets?

Accepted Answer

Windproof cycling gilets from Rapha Brevet and Maap focus on blocking wind with minimal insulation, making them packable and versatile for temperatures 15-25°C. They're lightweight (100-150g) and compress into jersey pockets easily. Insulated cycling gilets from Assos, Sportful, and Santini add light thermal insulation for core warmth in colder conditions (5-15°C). They're slightly heavier and less packable but provide more warmth. Windproof cycling gilets are more versatile for Indian conditions where temperatures fluctuate, while insulated cycling gilets are better for consistent cold weather riding in hill stations or winter training.

Question 8

Do you have matching jerseys for cycling gilets?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We stock matching cycling jerseys from all our cycling gilets brands including Rapha, Maap, Pas Normal Studios, Santini, Assos, Pearl Izumi, Sportful, and Monton. You can create coordinated kits by pairing cycling gilets with matching jerseys in the same colorway and design. Many cyclists prefer coordinated looks where their gilet matches their jersey collection.
