POC developed the long sleeve Essential Road Mid Jersey as a versatile 3-season piece, whether worn a as a standalone, with a lightweight vest or shell, or as light thermal layer with a warmer, protective jacket. It has been designed to offer the perfect balance of rider fit and performance with a level of protection from the elements. Featuring a high wicking midweight polyester fabric with a sift inner surface, the jersey offers natural protection on cooler rides.

As a full featured, form fit cycling jersey, the Essential Mid gives riders the ultimate flexibility as the off-season or colder days set in, has been designed with a precise cycling fit, assisted by light fabric stretch and construction that offers great range of motion at full body extension, such as the Raglan-type shoulder-sleeve system and extended rear tail with an elastic hem with silicone print gripper. POC fleshed out the jersey with smart details, such as the full-length YKK zipper, multiple pockets, and reflective logos and details that enhance safety through greater visibility. As for sizing, POC's European designed clothing tends to run small, so if in any doubt, please size up.
