The need for adaptability influenced this smart, packable gilet but inspiration came from an unlikely source; the art-school rock of 10cc, arch-pragmatists who ploughed the twin furrows of commercial success and artistic experimentation. As with Pearson bikes, the gilet is highly versatile; in colder months, simply layer on top of a short-sleeve jersey and add arm warmers. Features include a zipped rear valuables pocket, two open storage pockets and a reflective Pearson Rose detail to improve visibility. The gilet’s outer features a high-stretch technical fabric with a windproof coating. An additional durable water-repellent finish keeps rain out and speeds up drying. In keeping with Pearson’s aim to provide sustainable products, 70% of the front fabric comes from recycled polyester; the back is made from a 100% recycled Italian Roubaix material, with a brushed finish to keep you snug. A 100% recycled Polartec® lining provides ‘active’ insulation (releasing excess heat rather than absorbing moisture). Stows neatly into a jersey pocket.
