I pulled this one out of my rare stack is this gray Rapha Brevet insulated gilet in size XL. The gilet measures about 21" laying flat. Cooler weather rides in the upper 40s and 50s should work best.

Long-distance riders often encounter a wide range of conditions, so a lightweight layer that is both warm and packable is essential. The Brevet Insulated Gilet is made with recycled Polartec Alpha® insulation to provide exceptional warmth and breathability so you won’t overheat during harder efforts. The gilet features reflective detailing for visibility, and a water-shedding DWR (durable water repellent) coating for added protection in rain showers. Thanks to the hydrophobic properties of the insulation, the gilet won’t saturate in the same way that natural down insulation will, and is quick drying too. Mesh side panels stretch to fit over full pockets while a two-way zip allows you to open the gilet from the top or the bottom. When not in use, the gilet rolls into an elasticated loop at the neck to stay tightly stored.  

The Brevet Insulated Gilet is made with recycled Polartec Alpha® insulation to reduce its environmental impact. Using recycled synthetics decreases our reliance on virgin materials and gives a second life to materials that would otherwise go to waste, without compromising product performance or durability.
