Gilet - with pockets or flap

secretsam

So, I love a gilet, but none that I look at seem to have either pockets or a flap, to access jersey pockets. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Not looking to spend a fortune, but I use them a lot so prepared to pay for quality

Not got one myself, https://www.halfords.com/cycling/cycling-clothing/hi-vis/altura-airstream-gilet-197134.html?dwvar_197134_colour=Hi-Vis Yellow

Another alternative is a jacket with removeable arms like https://www.halfords.com/cycling-clothing/hi-vis/boardman-mens-removable-sleeve-windproof-jacket---yellow-152726.html-152726.html (I wear my PX Magma and Altura Peleton Transformer without sleeves often, the former is just about tolerable on gentle commutes at the moment so kind of 4 season, but neither available these days)

Recently got an Endura Pro SL gilet, light and windproof, 3 main pockets and a zipped one and rolls up small enough to go in a jersey pocket.
Size comes up quite small though.

very nice in burgundy..(navy blue and black also available) snug race type fit but not skin tight..folds into a rear jersey pocket at a push..limited lifetime warranty..madisons sizing guide is accurate..simple free (no printer required) returns at freewheel.

Hiya - I've got a bit of Endura stuff, is the sizing in line with their other kit?
Didn't realise the pro-SL had pockets

Thanks for all the replies
@bendip @cryoman1965 @mrb123 how's the sizing on Galibier/Madison? Galibier looks Italian small!

I'd suggest dropping them an email with your measurements and the garment you're looking at. Their customer service is usually pretty top drawer.

@secretsam these will both be top quality kit from Scott - not sure if it's what you are looking for.
EXTRA10 knocks 10% off.

No prizes for guessing which one I went for.
