I reckon if you live in the alps they're probably useful for descents, but in the Vale of York maybe not so much. I'm just wracking my brain as to what I would like for Christmas and don't want to run the risk of not being INCREDIBLY FUCKING SPECIFIC with my father and don't just wanna ask for Rapha vouchers like normal.
I actually wear a gilet fairly regularly. Club rides are hard to judge and if everyone's going slowly then you can't just pedal a bit harder and warm yourself up, so having an extra packable layer is quite useful. The one I have is a horrendous Endura 260 one which is about the most offensive piece of kit I own. No idea why, it just fits terribly.
Re: Christmas/gift vouchers - what's the best all round 'stylish' shop? I don't need any cycling bits at the moment but would like to buy some socks and stuff come spring. Alwaysriding? Girocycling (who are having a pretty decent attaquer sale FYI)?

Does anyone really need a gilet or is it just one of those industry invented things to sell more shit?
