The Pas Normal Studios Women's Mechanism Stow Away Gilet is a lightweight, packable cycling layer designed for early starts, cold descents, and rapidly changing conditions. Optimised for high-intensity training, it provides effective wind protection while remaining breathable enough for harder efforts.

The Japanese nylon fabric is treated with a PFC-free C0 DWR finish to help resist light showers and road spray. Stretchable mesh side panels improve ventilation and keep the gilet close to the body, while the two-way YKK zipper allows quick temperature regulation and easy access to jersey pockets. When no longer needed, the compact construction packs easily into a rear pocket.

This beautiful and very functional gilet from Pas Normal Studios is designed in Copenhagen and made of a Japanese nylon type with DWR coating. With this, the gilet provides good protection against the wind and keeps out a short shower. To prevent overheating, a mesh material has been placed in the neck, which feels very comfortable. A gripper at the bottom keeps the gilet in place so it doesn't ride up. If it gets too warm for you, you can always fold the gilet compactly and stow it away in the back pocket of your cycling jersey. The double zipper makes it easy to reach the things in your back pockets and the different color options make you stand out in traffic.

We believe that a gilet is perhaps the most versatile product for a cyclist because it is easy to store and can keep the core of your body warm if necessary. In addition, a gilet also looks very cool, especially if you are riding up a mountain with the zipper fully open!

• 100% Japanese nylon
• Race fit
• Two-way zipper for easy access
• Road to Nowhere branded zip puller
• Stretchable side panels
• Packs easily into your back pocket
