POC Essential Layer LS Wielrentrui - Zwart

Engineered with 4-way stretch mesh, the POC Essential Layer LS delivers unrestricted mobility and high breathability for intense rides. Its 100% polyester construction wicks moisture rapidly, keeping you dry from base miles to summit finishes.

Overview

The POC Essential Layer LS is a long-sleeve base layer built for cyclists who demand performance without bulk. Designed as a next-to-skin layer, it works seamlessly under jerseys or jackets in cool to mild conditions, or on its own during high-output efforts. The ergonomic, close-fitting cut reduces drag and eliminates excess fabric, while flatlock seams prevent chafing over long distances.

• 4-way stretch allows a full range of motion in the saddle.
• Flatlock seams lie flat against the skin for all-day comfort.
• Moisture-wicking yarns pull sweat away to regulate temperature.
