Giordana AV Extreme Lyte Jacket - Men´s

AV Extreme Lyte Jacket

When racing or doing some high-output training in wet conditions, you can count on Giordana´s AV Extreme Lyte Jacket to keep you dry and comfortable. By utilizing the same fabrics and construction techniques as its much-lauded AV Extreme jacket, the Lyte version takes on a slightly more minimal approach that helps reduce the bulk and prevents you from overheating when conditions don´t quite warrant the full-on Extreme.

This particular jacket achieves Lyte status by constructing the back panel of its Blizzard material, therefore, offering better breathability and ventilation. It´s fortified with an environmentally friendly DWR AcquaZero treatment and its woven to improve its anti-abrasion properties and provides a near-rip proof surface. Like the Extreme its innermost layer consists of Polartec Alpha 60 fill for cozy warmth and heat retention while the interior layer of 100% polyester mesh, provides air circulation and breathability.

Up front, a wind-resistant zipper keeps chilly blasts from invading your comfort zone while the microfiber, fleece collar further adds protection and is cut to fit while in the riding position. This rider-centric fit extends to the straight cut sleeve cuffs designed to interact with winter gloves.

On the rear, its 3 gusseted pockets haul the gear needed during unpredictable conditions and contain drainage holes that keep them from filling up during a deluge while the pocket lip keeps items inside secure over rough roads. A fourth zippered side pocket adds additional security for the storage of essentials. Finally, a Pixel reflective panel at the tail and rear piping increases visibility in low light conditions.
