We have to admit that here in TWC Towers we are partial to a polka dot so it’s no surprise that the Morvelo Hemisphere Gilet initially caught our eye.  Adorned with polka dot detail on the front and a full polka dot back and available in three colour combinations, this gilet wins the style stakes.

But we are happy to report that it’s not all form, function plays its part with this gilet. Designed primarily to be worn from the outset of your ride, this gilet can also be folded into it’s own zipped pocket and stashed away if the sun comes out.

The best road bikes for under £2,000

Other features include three deep rear pockets and a fourth zipped side pocket. The gilet effectively blocks the wind and has a highly water resistant front which really holds its own in light rain showers while a rear mesh panel ensures top notch breathability.

Price: £80 (but currently on sale for £48)
