Capo

Verona Wind Vest

We are always on the lookout for clothing pieces that will make our cold day rides a bit more pleasant. The Capo Verona Wind Vest is one of those items that will keep you comfy on cold windy days and make you wonder why it took so long for you to find this the perfect solution to your windy-weather riding.

The WindTex Flight Plus fabric on the front panels of the vest has the right mix between weight and suppleness. As light as it feels, you'll be astounded by how well it keeps the wind from penetrating to your undershirt. Make no mistake: this is a heavy-duty wind stopping fabric. Capo has been careful to include a mesh back to allow for excellent ventilation and to prevent any overheating.

Perhaps our favorite aspect of the vest is that Capo had the foresight to add three roomy back pockets. Why don't more vests have this, we always ask ourselves? Mind you, it adds a bit of bulk compared to a vest with no pockets, but it's still packable in a jersey pocket. Ultimately, it's a layer that is best worn on very cool, blustery days when wind protection for your core is what you need for comfortable riding. On such occasions, you're constantly fumbling underneath a typical vest digging in your jersey pockets. Who wants to do that, though? We'd much rather have the pockets on the vest so that we can have immediate access to our gel packs, phone, money clip, and even have room to stash one more layer in case the weather turns to rain.

The Capo Verona Wind Vest is the perfect foil for those blustery days. And since it matches the rest of the Verona collection in either White or Red, you can feel all the more pro when you combine it with your Verona Knickers and Long Sleeve Jersey. It's available in Small through XX-Large.
