Product Information

Full details

The Dhb Blok Gilet is designed for male adult cyclists looking for wind protection and aerodynamic performance during transitional weather. This gilet offers a lightweight and packable solution, providing essential protection from wind and cool temperatures. A key consideration is that while windproof, it's not fully waterproof. It's a versatile layering piece suitable for cool rides and high-speed descents, fitting easily into a jersey pocket when not in use. Key features include an optimized fit for aerodynamics, windproof front and back panels, a breathable mesh rear panel for heat release, a raised collar for wind protection, elastic shoulder tape for a secure fit, a sealed YKK zipper with a two-way slider for ventilation and pocket access, and reflective inserts on the back and shoulders for enhanced visibility and safety in low-light conditions. The main fabric is 100% Polyester, with the back panel being 85% Polyester and 15% Elastane.
