The olive tree is a powerful symbol of victory going back to ancient times, when the first Olympic champions were given wreaths made of olive leaves. The Oliva Range serves as a tribute to the undying spirit of the champion.
Our Oliva Gilet is designed to fit perfectly over the Oliva Long Sleeve Jersey giving you complete control when it comes to regulating your core temperature. The gilet works by providing a protective windproof shell over your jersey keeping cold air and biting wind away from your extremities. This can be paired with a long sleeve jersey or thermal arm warmers to give you even more control on your ride.
Visibility is a key design principle across the Oliva range and this gilet is no different. The Oliva Gilet features Photon Retroreflective Trims around the arm holes as well as across the back pocket for increased visibility
The gilets are made from our Vita-Tex four way stretch fabric an extremely lightweight, yet high density fabric that is designed to be completely windproof and also water repellent ensuring protection from the elements. The lightweight fabric also means that the gilet is easy to stow when not in use.
Our antibounce system together with a full hem gripper elastic keep the gilet in position even when your pockets are fully laden.
The sleek, form fitting design is engineered to fit over our jerseys ensuring maximum aerodynamics in windy conditions. A wind flap under the zipper ensures that your zipper doesn’t snag on the layers below.

And in the almost unfathomable event that we're completely wrong and nothing on our cyber-shelves appeals to you, we'd like to leave you with the following gem from Lord of the Rings:
