Mavic

HC Vest

Every grand tour has at least one wet, cold, and windy stage, but you don't have to be riding in the Alps to require a little protection from the elements. Mavic's HC Men's Vest provides lightweight water- and wind-resistance worthy of hard, drizzly climbs up the Alpe d'Huez, so you won't freeze solid when the weather is less then favorable. Mavic constructed the HC from a lightweight softshell, Warm Shell ST, to keep moderate weather off without trapping moisture against you skin. Warm Shell avoids the crinkly trash-bag feel of traditional rain layers, stretches to accommodate movement, and breathes well so you don't get sweaty, which can be just as bad as getting rained on. Mesh inserts in key places increase breathability, so you don't marinate in your own perspiration. Mavic finished the HC off with two zippered pockets, one in the front and one in the back, plenty of reflective details, and a dropped back hem to keep wheel spray from soaking your back.
