Product Description
The SS25 Men's Essential Airflow Gilet reimagines layering science with Toray's aerospace-grade nylon technology. Its 12-micron nylon 66 fibers create a membrane 23% lighter than traditional cycling vests, while AIRTASTIC™ recycled fabric achieves carbon neutrality in production – every gram battles climate change literally and metaphorically.
Mountain Ghost Protocol
-
Molecular Armor: Toray's nano-textured nylon 66 resists 97% of wind chill while weighing less than a smartphone (85g/M).
-
Eco-Breath Matrix: Laser-perforated back mesh mimics dragonfly wing venation, boosting airflow by 41% versus standard panels.
Twilight Stealth System
Reflective elements aren't just added – they're engineered:
✓ Chest Logo: Micro-engraved RR emblem reflects light at 150cd/lx (3x standard)
✓ Seamless Spine Line: 4-needle 6-thread reflective stitching glows like runway markers
Design Philosophy
"Where Eco-Conscious Engineering Meets Alpine Agility"
This vest answers the ultralight paradox: How to shield riders from autumn winds without trapping sweat. The solution lives in Toray's 0.08mm yarns – thinner than spider silk yet tougher than steel by weight.
