POC Essential Layer chaleco - Uranium Black

A cycling base layer vest engineered for high-intensity efforts, the POC Essential Layer Vest delivers exceptional moisture management and breathability in a close-fitting, ergonomic design. Its highly breathable mesh construction keeps you dry and comfortable across road, mountain, and gravel rides, making it an indispensable foundation for any cycling wardrobe.

Advantages

The vest’s 90% polyester and 10% elastane blend offers four-way stretch and a second-skin fit that moves with you. Flatlock seams eliminate chafing, while the sleeveless crew-neck silhouette layers smoothly under jerseys or jackets. High-wicking fabric rapidly pulls sweat away from the skin, and excellent breathability prevents overheating during hard efforts. Durable yet lightweight, it is built to withstand repeated use and washing without losing shape.

Suitable for

• Road cycling in variable temperatures
• Mountain biking and gravel riding as a moisture-control layer
• All-season use as a base layer under thermal or waterproof outerwear
• Unisex riders seeking a close, aerodynamic fit
