Product Overview
The Spiro Bikewear Crosslite Gilet is a precision-engineered outer layer designed specifically for those who spend their working day, or their commute, on two wheels. This lightweight garment provides an essential barrier against the wind without the bulk of a full jacket, allowing for maximum freedom of movement and temperature regulation. Crafted from performance polyester, it offers a comfort fit that accommodates layering while maintaining a streamlined silhouette.
Key Features
- Reflective front and back prints: These strategically placed panels significantly enhance visibility in low-light conditions, ensuring the wearer remains seen by other road users.
- Longer shaped back panel: This specific cut accommodates the leaned-forward cycling position, preventing the garment from riding up and protecting the lower back from road spray and wind.
- Quick-dry fabric technology: The material efficiently manages moisture, ensuring that even during high-intensity activity, the wearer remains dry and comfortable.
- Stand-up collar: Provides additional protection for the neck area against wind chill, which is vital for maintaining core temperature during cooler rides.
- Pocket-free design: By removing external pockets, the gilet maintains its contoured shape, reducing wind resistance and preventing snagging.
Design & Performance
Constructed from 100% polyester, this gilet is designed to be both windproof and breathable. The fabric choice is deliberate; polyester offers excellent durability and resistance to the elements while remaining exceptionally lightweight. The inclusion of a full front zip with a reflective panel adds an extra layer of safety and allows for quick ventilation adjustment on the move.
The unisex fit is tailored to be inclusive, ensuring a professional appearance across your entire team. The performance nature of the garment means it is not just a piece of high-visibility clothing, but a functional tool designed to withstand the rigours of daily outdoor use.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
At MyWorkwear, we understand that your brand identity is paramount. The Spiro Crosslite Gilet is suitable for both embroidery and transfer printing. For a sophisticated and permanent finish, embroidery is recommended for company logos or staff names on the chest area, providing a high-quality tactile feel.
For larger, more vibrant branding or safety messaging on the back, transfer printing is an excellent choice. This method allows for sharp, detailed designs that integrate seamlessly with the lightweight polyester fabric. All customisation is handled in-house at our Telford facility, where our experts ensure your branding meets our exacting standards.
Use Cases
This gilet is an ideal choice for cycle couriers, delivery personnel, and corporate cycling teams. It is equally effective for staff who require a lightweight, high-visibility layer for outdoor events or sports-related roles where agility and visibility are required in equal measure.

Practical Advice
The unisex sizing ranges from XS to 2XL, catering to chest sizes from 33 inches to 50 inches. Because this is a comfort-fit garment designed for layering, we recommend reviewing our sizing guide to ensure the best fit over your existing uniform or base layers.
Caring for your product
To maintain the technical performance of the windproof fabric and the integrity of your custom branding, we recommend a domestic wash at 30°C. Washing at higher temperatures can degrade the polyester fibres and affect the longevity of the reflective prints.
Do not use bleach, as this will damage the fabric's structure and cause discolouration. To preserve the shape and finish, this garment should not be tumble dried or dry cleaned. Exposure to the high heat of a tumble dryer or the harsh chemicals of dry cleaning will damage the synthetic fibres and any applied print or embroidery.
Finally, do not iron this gilet. The 100% polyester material is naturally crease-resistant, and the direct heat from an iron would melt the fabric and ruin the garment instantly.
