Friday II Mens Gilet

A gilet is one of cycling's most versatile pieces — light enough to stuff into a back pocket, useful enough to change the character of a ride entirely. The Monton Friday II Mens Gilet brings technical synthetic fabric, moisture-wicking construction, and a practical rear-pocket setup to Indian riders who need core coverage without sacrificing airflow on the arms.

Use Cases

Variable temperature rides. Wind-blocking front for cool morning starts that warm up during the ride.

Race day layering. Light-weight gilet that fits under a jersey or over a base layer without restricting movement.

Pre-monsoon and post-monsoon. Adds wind protection for transitional weather riding in Mumbai, Pune, and Bengaluru.

Our Take

The Friday II sits in a sweet spot for Indian riding — particularly useful on early-morning Pune or Hyderabad rides where temperatures start cool and climb fast by 8am. The gilet format gives your core warmth without trapping heat across your whole upper body. Moisture-wicking fabric handles the transition from cool dawn air to full 35°C effort, and the silicone hem gripper keeps things tidy on climbs through the Western Ghats or Ooty switchbacks.

Sizing for Indian Riders

Monton uses European sizing, which runs slimmer than most Indian or Asian brand equivalents. If you typically wear M in Indian cycling brands, start with L in Monton. Riders with broader shoulders or a chest above 100cm should size up without hesitation. For use as a standalone layer in warm conditions, your standard size works well; for layering over a long-sleeve base in cooler Leh or Coorg mornings, go one size up.

Compatibility Notes

Works across road, gravel, and commuter setups. Pairs cleanly over Monton base layers for a consistent fit at the hem and shoulders. Machine washable — use mild detergent at 30°C, skip fabric softener entirely as it degrades moisture-wicking fibres. Hang to dry; tumble drying damages synthetic technical fabrics. Store fully dry during monsoon months to prevent mildew buildup.

Pairs Well With

Consider completing your kit with matching bib shorts for a cohesive look, UV-protective arm sleeves for Chennai or Delhi summer rides, a well-ventilated road helmet for heat management, and cycling-specific sunglasses to handle glare on exposed climbs and open highways.
