Developed to meet the demands of professional cycling, the ENVY vest combines protection against wind and rain with an aerodynamic fit and high breathability. Its technology allows moisture generated during exertion to escape, promoting thermal comfort without compromising performance.
Used by WorldTour teams, the ENVY incorporates Polartec® Power Shield™ Pro, a membrane designed to provide protection against the elements and efficiently manage water vapor. A combination that is especially important when pedaling intensity and external conditions put the cyclist's thermal balance to the test.
Protection and breathability in balance
In cycling, protecting yourself from wind and rain is only part of the challenge. It is also necessary to dissipate the heat and moisture generated by the body during exertion. The ENVY vest addresses this need with a windproof and waterproof membrane that facilitates the molecular diffusion of water vapor, helping maintain comfort during activity.
Carlos Rodríguez, rider for the Netcompany INEOS team, uses the vest in training and competition and highlights the importance of combining protection and breathability: «It keeps you protected while allowing the body to breathe and dissipate the excess heat produced during exertion».
This combination makes it possible to tackle variable conditions without relying solely on a barrier against the elements. The key is to protect without hindering moisture management.
Technology designed for performance
Polartec® Power Shield™ Pro is the distinguishing element of the ENVY. Its membrane offers a 20,000 mm water column and breathability of 20,000 g/m²/24 h, combining water and wind resistance with efficient water vapor evacuation.
This technology is complemented by sealed shoulder seams, the waterproof YKK Vislon® AquaGuard® zipper, and the neoprene rear flap, which reinforce protection against water. All of this is integrated into an aerodynamic pattern that adapts to the body and promotes an efficient position on the bike.
Fit and comfort are fundamental aspects of a garment intended for competition. A design that must move with the cyclist and offer protection without adding unnecessary bulk.
Developed for the demands of professional cycling
Professional cyclists spend many hours on the bike and subject garments to especially demanding conditions. Their experience makes it possible to assess how materials and design perform when performance cannot take a back seat.
There are situations in which a garment’s performance is best understood through experience. Carlos Rodriguez recalls a medium-mountain stage of the Tour Auvergne Rhône Alpes in which the weather conditions were especially variable. “The weather was unstable and both the temperature and the rain kept changing. At the moments when I needed extra protection, it gave it to me. If I was climbing a pass, the rain stopped and the temperature rose a little, it kept me dry"
The Envy vest combines protection against the elements and advanced breathability so you can focus on what matters: keep performing.
