Deflect is a lightweight, stretchy fabric that is windproof, waterproof, and highly breathable. The lightweight fabric and minimal construction allow the vest to be stored in the jersey pocket when not needed. The full front zipper allows for easy ventilation when efforts heat up. Partial elastication at the waist and shoulders seal out the cold. Deflect UV 50 protects your skin from harmful ultraviolet rays. The Slim Fit fits closely and precisely to the curves of the body, ensuring an unrivaled level of fit and comfort, while leaving room for a jersey or base layer underneath.

Typically, this category of packable vests has been dominated by lightweight ripstop fabric pieces that offer good wind and splash resistance, but lots of flapping and noise. Our goal was to give you everything you need, without blowing a flag in the breeze. We’ve designed a stretch fabric that conforms to your body, providing a quiet ride, while also offering wind resistance. To resist splashes, we treated the front panel fabric with a durable water-repellent coating, while leaving the back panel fabric untreated to increase breathability. The vest can be packed into a fist-sized ball.
