New 🧨 Van Rysel 500, Cycling Vest, Men’s 😉

The waterproof front of this gilet provides protection against light rain. In addition, thanks to the neon color and reflective areas, you will be more visible day and night.

Developed and tested by our engineers in cold, wet conditions, this gilet will protect you from light rain and splashes from a wet road.

Breathability

To determine whether a fabric is breathable, we measure its evaporative resistance (test based on standard ISO 11092).
The lower its resistance, the more the fabric will let water vapor produced by the body escape, and therefore the more breathable it is.
For example: RET < 9 = extremely breathable fabric.

Waterproofing

Waterproofing is a fabric’s ability to prevent rain water from passing through. A fabric’s waterproofing is determined by measuring its resistance to the pressure exerted by a water column, measured in mm (test based on ISO 811 standard). The higher the pressure, the more waterproof the fabric.
A material with a waterproof rating of 2000 mm resists the pressure exerted by 2000 mm of water (which roughly corresponds to a 2-hour rain shower).

Care tips

Machine wash at 86°F. Synthetics cycle. Turn the article inside out. Use a minimal amount of laundry detergent. Do not use fabric softener. Line-dry in a warm, ventilated area. Do not tumble dry. Do not dry clean. Do not bleach. Do not place on a heater to dry.

Product tests

Our team of product designers is based at the B’Twin Village in Lille (France). All year round, we conceive and develop new products that are easy to use, look great, and have the technical features needed for your cycling experiences.
They are then mercilessly put to the test by users in the field, as we are convinced that only by subjecting our products to real-world conditions, such as the ones you will experience on your bike, can we continuously improve them.

A rating to compare products’ environmental impact

A product’s environmental impact is calculated for its entire lifecycle using various indicators. An overall rating (ABCDE) is given, allowing you to easily identify products with the best environmental performance by comparing similar products to each other (T-shirts, pants, backpacks etc.).

Decathlon openly displays the environmental ratings of its products.
