    Gillets aren't just for roadies! They're very versatile and just at home on the mtb or the road bike.
    My Howies jacket has removable arms, effectively making it a Gillet :)

    I've got a Montane Featherlite one, which is very light and compact, moderately waterproof and wind resistant, but the main selling point is that it's tiny when packed, the size of a small organic apple. So it's brilliant as a "just in case" thing but I'm not sure it's waterproof enough to recommend as a main garment.
