The Essential Layer Vest from POC is in fact a sleeveless baselayer designed to help you keep your core and torso temperature regulated and dry. This makes it ideal for cooler temperatures or days where transitional weather means staying comfortable through the range of climate changes the roads, valleys and mountains can throw at you.

POC believes that layering properly is the key to staying warm and dry. As temps heat up, you can also unzip your jersey for more active airflow. With a close fit, the lightweight "vest" provides high breathability and wicking properties. Designed to be worn under a jersey, the layer provides a close fit for exceptional comfort and warmth. POC builds the Essential Layer Vest with stretch side panels to ensure a precise, comfortable fit and flatlock seams to eliminate chafing. The polyester/elastane blend ensures overall comfort, wicking, and breathability as it maintains the proper temperature.
