The Castelli Transition Air Vest is a lightweight gilet designed to take the edge off cool air without hogging your jersey pockets.
It uses a 20-denier microfibre nylon fabric that is effectively wind resistant, with an intended temperature range of 12 to 20 °C. The high collar shields the neck better than a standard jersey, while the asymmetric two-way zip lets you fine-tune ventilation.

Tested by GravelPassion
We liked its tiny pack size and the warmth it offers relative to its volume. It slips easily into a jersey pocket. Pay close attention to sizing: with a thin layer underneath, a gilet can be worn closer-fitting than a jersey. The main drawback is the lack of direct access to rear jersey pockets.
