Product Details
The Specialized Men's Prime Wind Vest delivers essential wind protection for cyclists navigating variable cool-weather conditions and unpredictable riding days. Engineered with intelligent fabric construction and thoughtful design details, this lightweight layer provides reliable thermal defense without the bulk or weight penalties that compromise packability and performance.
The vest features a windproof ripstop front panel that effectively blocks wind and cold air, paired with a breathable mesh back panel that maintains airflow and prevents overheating during sustained efforts. This strategic fabric combination creates balanced comfort across changing conditions, blocking wind exposure where it matters most while allowing heat dissipation where the body naturally generates warmth. Elastic trim at the waist and armholes seals out cold air while maintaining a snug, flap-free fit that moves with the rider rather than fluttering in the wind.
Now 28% lighter than the previous generation, the Prime Wind Vest represents a meaningful advancement in packability without sacrificing performance or durability. The vest folds flat and packs easily into a jersey pocket, making it the ideal grab-and-go layer for riders who encounter variable conditions during their rides. A two-way zipper offers convenient venting on the fly and easy access to jersey pockets, allowing riders to adjust thermal comfort and access essentials without removing the vest or stopping to reorganize gear.
Constructed with a form-fit design that delivers a second-skin feel, the vest remains supportive yet unrestrictive, maintaining full mobility and aerodynamic efficiency. The torso fabric is made from 100% recycled nylon, reflecting Specialized's commitment to sustainable material choices without compromising performance or durability.
