The CyclingTips (Girodana) gilet uses relatively soft fabric which utilizes a honeycomb knit, allowing omnidirectional stretch for optimal fit whilst effectively blocking from the chest region. A carbon fabric is used for the back panel. In the rear it limits the vertical stretch, stabilizing the pockets to prevent sag when they’re loaded up.

IMPORTANT SIZING INFO: The sizing of this vest is slighly smaller than most other manufacturers. I could normally wear either a medium (which is fairy tight) or large in Champ-Sys, Capo, Rapha, etc. In this Giordana vest I wear a Large.
