Especially on long stretches of road cyclists is often exposed to a wide range of different weather conditions.
Here the new “Insulated Brevet” comes
From Rapha into play: Thanks to its “Alpha” filling on front and back, it makes for pleasant warmth. Since it is Alpha is a continuous, loosely knitted layer, the thermal insulation is breathable, and prevents overheating even at high intensity before.
The “Insulated Brevet” is equipped with a two-way zipper, the back pockets can be achieved quickly and easily. Reflective accessory details provide enhanced visibility in the dark.
Thanks to elastic sides the vest can
Simply be pulled even at full back pockets. The front zipper is highlighted, and keeps out the wind. A water-repellent coating offers additional protection in case of sudden rain.
Since Alpha hydrophobic, or is water-repellent, it sucks itself also not full, when things get wet, and also convinces through fast drying times. And if the driver no longer needs the safety vest, he can with the help of an elastic band, which is hidden in the collar, Curled compact.
Alpha was developed as an active insulation; the adaptive respiratory activity makes it unnecessary, while type clothing layers additionally on or takes off.
Therefore, the material is ideal for cycling. By water vapor can move freely through the material, the air exchange will promote the overall and extremely shortens the drying time. The result is an increased comfort through thermal regulation.
“Because it is a continuous layer of fluffy, knitted fibers, fibers cannot ‘moving’ the result is excellent stability and dimensional stability -. Even under heavy use and repeated washings,” explains Karen Whittier, as product manager for thermal protection responsible.
Warm even when wet and dries much faster than before on the market existing thermal insulation reflective materials. Very light and compressible, it provides warmth without much weight, and is also extremely wind resistant.
How does this work? Unlike down and synthetic heat-insulation is at Alpha to a continuous, loose knit, so only one layer.
The advantage: it remains stable, and cannot slip. In addition, fibers cannot solve. Therefore Alpha are processed with much more open, more porous and more breathable fabrics on the inside and outside to “Puffy” -like Styles.
