Gore Sportive Vest
|
Summer calls for a new wardrobe, and preferably one that ventures beyond the traditional jersey and offers something a little special so we girls can look great whilst working hard on the bike.
Gore's Sportive Vest is just the ticket, with it's built in mesh bra and Y-shaped rear, perfect for hot days whatever activity you're up to. The fit is close and comfortable thanks to the stretchy Coolpower fabric and there are even thoughtfully positioned reflective strips subtley positioned on the sides and rear. You'll not notice them 90% of the time but the traffic surely will when it starts to get dark.
As well as being a snug fit the vest offer some support for the bust too in the shape of the built in sports bra, it's supportive enough for all but large bust sizes but some may prefer a little more support. Most won't need to worry about this and will enjoy the freedom of having a built in bra and avoiding straps showing etc, it certainly looks good and the Y-shaped strap design emphasises nice shoulders. Our only complaint is that when riding road bikes the vest does allow some cleavage to show, another inch of fabric would prevent this and perhaps smaller busts wouldn't cause a problem. It would be nice though if designers considered what happens to the neckline when in a riding position; not everyone is comfortable exposing some cleavage when on the bike!
There's a small zipped pocket for personal items such as keys, money and a multitool, you could probably also squeeze an energy bar in there aswell, but not much else. The zip is concealed and hides away neatly when not needed so you can wear this vest for the gym, running or even casual use too without anyone noticing it's a cycling vest.
