Chris Teagles<\/p>\nThe Endura Pro SL Primaloft Gilet II offers a lot of insulation and warmth for all-ride use, with four pockets for ride gear, so you don\u2019t need to use your jersey pockets. The Primaloft insulation does mean that it\u2019s difficult to carry if you begin to overheat though.<\/p>\n
Endura Pro SL Primaloft Gilet II features<\/p>\n
Chris Teagles<\/p>\n
Endura\u2019s cool weather gilet <\/a>is padded with lightweight Primaloft insulation. Endura <\/a>hasn\u2019t just used one type though. The front panels are wind resistant and backed with Primaloft Gold, while the upper two-thirds of the back include Primaloft Silver Active, which Endura says improves breathability and adds stretch.<\/p>\n The rear insulation stops at the pockets, of which there are four, including a zipped valuables pocket. All three open pockets are gusseted at the base to increase carrying capacity, while the two outer pockets have laser cut drainage holes, so they shouldn\u2019t fill with water in a deluge.\u00a0<\/p>\n There\u2019s a reflective Endura wordmark on the central rear pocket and reflective stripes at the neck.<\/p>\n As with the front and rear, the high collar and the full-length storm flap behind the two-way zip are both also insulated. The side panels, though, are uninsulated, with extra stretch to ensure a close fit.\u00a0<\/p>\n Men get six sizes from XS to XXL and three colours, including yellow and orange\/red, while women\u2019s sizing is XS to XL in black only and priced \u00a310 higher at \u00a3129.99.<\/p>\n Wearing the Endura Pro SL Primaloft Gilet II<\/p>\n The Endura gilet is something of an insulation tour de force. There\u2019s plenty of protection from the cold both front and rear and the padded collar fits close, so it\u2019s a piece that will keep you comfortable even as the temperatures head down towards zero.\u00a0<\/p>\n That\u2019s apart from your arms \u2013 there\u2019s a Primaloft jacket<\/a> with a removable internal gilet available if you want more wind and rain protection for your arms.<\/p>\n It\u2019s easy to partially unzip the front of the gilet to increase the airflow, as I did, if you start to overheat when climbing.<\/p>\n On fast descents, I could feel some wind penetration through the front fabric. It wasn\u2019t uncomfortable at temperatures around 10\u00b0C, but might feel a little chilly if the temperature drops closer to freezing.<\/p>\n Although Endura describes the Pro SL Primaloft Gilet II as packable, you\u2019d probably want bike luggage <\/a>to stash it away. It will just about fit in a cycling jersey<\/a> pocket when rolled up, although it will bulge out of its top. It\u2019s really a piece that you should expect to wear all ride.\u00a0<\/p>\n Endura Pro SL Primaloft Gilet II review verdict<\/p>\n The Endura Pro SL Primaloft Gilet II will handle chilly rides with ease thanks to its extensive insulation. You\u2019re probably not going to want to carry it in a jersey pocket if you overheat though as it\u2019s quite bulky, even if the weight isn\u2019t that great.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n Endura Pro SL Primaloft Gilet II details<\/p>\n Price: \u00a3119.99 <\/p>\n Weight: 178g (size M)<\/p>\n Sizes: XS – XXL men\u2019s XS – XL women\u2019s<\/p>\n Colours: 3 men\u2019s, 1 women\u2019s<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Endura Pro SL Primaloft Gilet II offers a lot of insulation and warmth for all-ride use, with…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":544882,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[445],"tags":[49,48,635,82],"class_list":["post-544881","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cycling","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-cycling","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/544881","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=544881"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/544881\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/544882"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=544881"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=544881"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=544881"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Endura-gilet-6-970x647.jpg\")
