Lightweight wind protection that's small enough to be packed into a rear pocket – is the Liv Race Day Wind Vest the ideal apparel riding mate?

Cycling Weekly Verdict

The great-fitting, lightweight and packable Liv Race Day Wind Vest provides wind and water protection, making it a really handy piece of cycling apparel. If Liv could resolve the zip and fabric coming together issue, it would be close to perfect.

When it comes to gilets, there's three things that, in my opinion, they must do: be windproof; be packable and fit as well as your jersey underneath. So when the Liv Race Day Wind Vest landed promising all three and more, I was keen to take it for a ride or two.
