PEARL iZUMi

Pro Barrier Vest - Women's

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"The Pro Barrier is a great vest for riders who want race-fit wind protection without extra weight. It packs down really small, seals out wind effectively, and the stretch in the fabric helps it sit cleanly over a jersey. The two-way zipper is surprisingly useful mid-ride."

The PEARL iZUMi Pro Barrier Vest is designed for high-efficiency road cyclists who need reliable wind protection in a compact, low-drag package. Built with a 2L WxB membrane, the vest blocks wind and sheds light precipitation while maintaining breathability during sustained efforts. Its compressive stretch fabric creates a streamlined silhouette tailored for on-bike posture, minimizing flutter and improving aerodynamic feel.

A two-way YKK zipper provides controlled ventilation and direct access to jersey pockets without removing the vest. A silicone rear gripper stabilizes the hem during hard accelerations, while BioViz reflective elements enhance visibility up to 100 meters in low-light conditions. Made with 100% recycled polyester and finished with PFAS-free PI Dry water repellent, the Pro Barrier Vest combines technical weather resistance with a compact pack-down size ideal for changing conditions, long climbs, and fast transitions.
