I am after a Gilet to wear on cold summer mornings that if needed I can roll up and stuff into my jersey. Has anyone got any recommendations? Budget of up to £50

    I picked up a specialised Gilet for £27, bargain and they really are a versatile bit of kit. Get loads of wear out of it.

    Have you considered a Craft mesh base layer? I really don't find my core getting cold, only tends to be my hands. A lot of riders on my club ride today setting off at 9am had gilets on and were soon stripping them off, me on the other hand was fine with no messing about!

    I have a Mavic Espoir and I'm pleased with it. Lightweight, packable, windproof and has a zipped rear pocket. Does exactly what I need it to.

    This. I've got the Countdown gilet and its great. Windstopper front, mesh back and clever slots in the back to let you get to your jersey pockets when you are riding. Packs reasonably small as well.

    I'll second this. You will not be disappointed with this one. Quality.
