Pearl’s original Zephrr vest was around before ‘gilet’ was commonplace in biking vocabulary. The latest jacket consists of a panel construction providing an anatomic but not overly close fit. Using a soft, UltraSensor, microfleece collar lining and Barrier System water and wind-resistance, there’s no hem adjustment but the jacket makes up for it on details. There is flap-concealed mesh venting to the rear, and concealed zip chest and rear stuff pocket which are both mesh lined.
