Monton X Tour Of Nilgiris Limited Edition Wind Unisex Cycling Vest (Floral Altitude)
MON-TFN-GILET_S
A windproof vest for Nilgiris-bound riders who want a layer that works across a whole day's temperature swing, with enough glow-in-the-dark visibility and water resistance to keep going when an early climb turns into an overcast descent.
Overview
Born from a shared passion for cycling excellence, the Tour of Nilgiris Limited Edition Cycling Kit is a collaboration between Monton Cycling Apparel and the Tour of Nilgiris (TFN) - India's premier multi-stage endurance cycling expedition, spanning over 700 kilometers and more than 13,000 meters of elevation gain across Karnataka, Kerala and Tamil Nadu. The 17th edition runs 5-12 December 2026, and this vest is part of a collector's capsule that marks the tour's first-ever limited-edition apparel line with Monton.
The vest itself is built from Monton's SL windbreaker material - ultra-light, soft and unrestrictive, with moisture-wicking, quick-drying properties. A two-way zipper lets you open from the bottom for extra airflow on a climb while keeping your neck covered, and a water-resistant coating holds off light rain so a quick weather change doesn't end the ride. Glow-in-the-dark fabric and strategically placed reflective heat transfers add visibility in low light, and a chest zipper pocket plus a back zipper pocket keep essentials within reach.
It's the layer to reach for on early starts and rides where the Nilgiris' variable weather means you can't commit to a single kit - and, for riders who've done the tour, a wearable piece of its history.
Why You'll Like It
Light Enough to Forget You're Wearing It
The SL windbreaker fabric is built to move with you rather than against you, so it layers over a jersey without adding bulk.
Ventilation on Your Terms
The two-way zipper opens from the bottom, so you can dump heat on a climb without exposing your neck to a cold descent.
Ready for a Change in Weather
A water-resistant coating buys you time against light rain, which matters on a multi-stage tour where the forecast can turn mid-ride.
Seen in Low Light
Glow-in-the-dark fabric plus reflective heat transfers mean you stay visible on early starts or if a stage runs long into the evening.
Somewhere to Put Things
A chest zipper pocket and a back zipper pocket give you secure, reachable storage without needing a jersey underneath that has its own.
Who Is It For?
Riders tackling early starts and long, weather-variable days - exactly the conditions the Tour of Nilgiris is known for, where a ride can start cold in the hills and warm up fast once the sun's up. It's built as a layering piece, so it suits anyone who rides routes with real elevation change, in India or elsewhere, rather than being tied to one climate.
It also works as a commuter layer through BOTS's home climate's cooler, windier mornings and evenings, where a packable windproof vest earns its keep without the bulk of a full jacket.
For riders who've taken on TFN themselves, it's also a collector's piece - a limited-run garment tied to a specific edition of the tour rather than a generic team kit.
Good to Know
Layer it over a short-sleeve jersey for cool starts, then unzip from the bottom as the temperature climbs - you get ventilation without having to stop and remove a layer entirely. Because it packs small, it's an easy addition to a jersey pocket for descents or unpredictable stages.
