"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: ""I use this vest constantly for cold starts and windy descents. The GORE-TEX® INFINIUM™ front blocks wind without that crinkly feel, and the stretch back dumps heat better than most vests I’ve tried. It packs tiny, weighs next to nothing, and fits so well I forget I’m wearing it."" We built our layering system around the Cypress Hybrid Vest for rides that start cold and evolve fast. Designed by 7mesh Industries, it’s the piece we grab when the wind is unpredictable or a long descent looms. Light enough to live in a pocket, it adds instant protection without disrupting rhythm or fit. Up front, GORE-TEX® INFINIUM™ Active stops biting wind and shrugs off light moisture, while the four-way stretch back panel breathes freely during hard efforts. Dual zippered side vents double as pass-through pockets, letting us access jersey storage while fine-tuning airflow. Finished with a gripper hem and reflective details, the Cypress Hybrid Vest is a minimalist solution for riders who value efficiency, packability, and precise temperature control."
