Velocio designed the Ultralight Rain Vest for those that still see all the features and benefits offered by our Ultralight Rain Jacket but want a lighter option - or have super hearty arms. The core-protecting Ultralight Rain Vest is the solution offering all of the innovation of the redesigned Ultralight Rain Jacket but in a sleeveless (and still more packable) option.
To eVent’s 30K breathability, 10K waterproof rating and 0.2cfm air permeability, we addedfully taped seams, internal bonded zip pocket with media port, low profile elastic cuffs, microfleece-lined collar, caped back vent that doubles as access to jersey pockets, extended rear hem, and reflective detailing throughout and you have a rain vest capable of living in your jersey pocket.

How do your vests fit? Our vests are patterned in the riding position, with a tight fit across the chest and arms with a more forward position. This is intentional to reduce flapping and extra fabric across the chest while riding. When standing, the vest will feel tight across the chest, shoulders and torso. The arm length might appear long as well. However, the intended fit is tailored for on-the-bike positioning where the shoulders and torso no longer feel tight and the extra arm length hits the wrists in the appropriate spot. Constructed without extra fabric to flap around - it should fit tight over your jersey (with enough room for a long sleeve and base layer), but shouldn’t appear baggy. We select fabrics that have some elasticity to allow for freedom of movement even with a tailored fit to accommodate some range of fit within each size.
