The MAAP Atmos Vest is the sleeveless version of MAAP's Atmos rain jacket, and one of the lightest genuinely waterproof vests available. It suits riders who want proper wet-weather protection they can carry every day without noticing it.

The 3-layer Pertex Shield fabric is windproof, waterproof to 20,000mm and breathable, which is double the 10k rating most packable shells manage. Internally taped seams stop water finding the stitching, and a 2-way YKK waterproof zip lets you reach jersey pockets underneath or vent on a climb. Bonded, elasticated arm holes and hem keep it flap-free at speed, and it packs smaller than the full jacket.
