Useful Kit
Pros: Comfortable, Good Fit, Lightweight, small pack size

Good for the price
Pros: Comfortable, Great Value, Lightweight
"This Gillet hasnt let me down yet when I have needed it, always does the trick and folds down to be able to stick into a jersey pocket with ease. I have the black which matches any "look" really and is great for the price - you may want to order the next size up that you would normally have as they come up a little small and restrictive if you dont."

Light weight gillet
Pros: Great Value
Cons: Unadjustable
"The picture makes it look wooly, but this is a light weight nylon gillet. Has worked well to reduce the chill, and breathes well. This does a basic job well, and has worked fine under mild but windy conditions where a simple short-sleaved shirt would be a tad chilly (especially when sweaty). Good to keep in the pack for fair days that may turn cool or an early morning start to keep the body warm."

Altura Airstream Gilet
Pros: Attractive, Comfortable, Good Fit, Great Value, High Quality, Lightweight, Versatile
Cons: no pockets
"Great gilet, perfect for those autumn mornings. Very effective at keeping the wind off your chest and keeping you warm. Rear vents ensure you don't overheat. Rolls up small enough to fit easily in your jersey pocket. Only criticism is the lack of rear pockets and back of jersey is black rather than red, which would be better for visibility."

Practical and great value
Pros: Attractive, Comfortable, Good Fit, Great Value, Lightweight, Versatile
"The Altura Airstream gilet is very good value and a great fit. Wore it on a 21 mile ride today in light showers but humid weather and found it to be excellent for balancing warmth and wind cheating whilst keeping the showers at bay. Go get one for Spring / Summer rides - it stashes in your Camelbak really well too."

Fantastic value for money
Pros: Good Fit, Great Value, High Quality, Lightweight
Cons: Limited Color Choices
"Best value for money gilet I've ever had. Not too bulky so fits easily in the back pocket. Would have liked a wider colour selection but I probably still would have bought the red anyway. At 191cm tall these are usually too short for me but this is spot on even for taller people."

Recommended
Pros: Attractive, Comfortable, Good Fit, Lightweight
"I'm cycling to work on a daily base and have been wearing the Altura Airstream Gilet every day since I got it. I'm pleased with it, because it's light and keeps out the chilly wind while providing sufficient ventilation to prevent overheating. The quality of the product seems good to me, altough the strength of the fabric could have been better, in my opinion.
Pockets are missing, which is a pity.
Make sure to order one size larger than customary, as the gilet's fit is rather 'streamlined'.
As usual, Wiggle dealt quickly and efficiently with order"

Gillet - not the best a man can get, but not bad.
Pros: Comfortable, Good Fit, Great Value, Lightweight
"Great for those early starts and late finishes. Light and packable, so you can forget about it until you need it."
