Hi, looking for recommendations for a windproof gilet.

I looking for something light which can keep the wind off while working hard. I guess it is to be worn over a fleece or base layer.

It would be great if it could go under a harness.

Cheers.

I bought one of these about 6 months ago and it's been great, I mostly cycle and run in it. It's super light and packs down to nothing, but makes a big difference to warmth. Typically good value.

Also I got it in orange which is helpful to be seen cycling / running.

If you are looking for a size small, I have an excellent Marmot Stride gillet (in black) for sale.
Lightweight and very suitable for working hard, as it wicks very well!

Hit me up if you are interested.

Thanks but a small would look like a bra on me. Incidentally I did try a ME gilet (cant remember which on) in large and it was like a crop top!
