Product Information
Full details
The Castore Apex Training Gilet is designed for active adults seeking a lightweight, warm, and visible outer layer for training in variable weather conditions. This gilet provides core warmth without bulk, thanks to its insulated padding, and allows for complete freedom of movement. A key caveat is that while it is water repellent, it's not fully waterproof, so heavy rain might require additional protection. The gilet features ProTek technology for water repellency, strategically placed stretch panels, reflective detailing, and secure zip pockets.
