7MESH CHILCO VEST MEN'S|A highly functional, "breathable" gilet perfect for seasons with large temperature swings
Windproof, warm, and breathable all in one. A new generation vest that can be worn anytime.
The 7MESH CHILCO VEST MEN'S truly shines in seasons with significant temperature fluctuations, where mornings are chilly and afternoons are warm enough to break a sweat.
Its main feature is the "WTV (Wind Thermal Ventilation)" material, uniquely developed by 7MESH. This material effectively controls internal heat and moisture while blocking wind, achieving both warmth and comfort.
The outer surface uses a highly windproof face fabric, while the inner surface features a high-loft brushed material. This design effectively retains body heat on cold descents and dissipates excess heat on ascents, preventing overheating.
It excels not only as an outer layer over a jersey but also as a mid-layer under a shell. This versatile piece is perfect for cycling, hiking, or even travel.

This vest is personally a go-to for me during early spring, late autumn, and even winter rides.
While many common windproof gilets can feel stuffy, the CHILCO VEST, thanks to its WTV material, prevents heat buildup, allowing for continuous climbs in comfort.
Especially in seasons with significant temperature drops in the mornings and evenings, having this one item provides an unparalleled sense of security. When it gets warm, it can be compactly stowed in the back pocket and conveniently secured to the bike frame.
Lightweight and portable, it offers exceptional adaptability to temperature changes. This versatile gilet is perfect not only for road biking but also for gravel rides and bikepacking.
