Jacquard Mesh Fabric | 88% Polyester + 12% Elastane

The jacquard mesh construction balances airflow with a refined texture. 88% polyester supports durability and sweat management, while 12% elastane adds stretch for a closer, more adaptive fit. As a cycling/fitness base layer, it keeps airflow moving and helps the fabric feel drier against the skin during high-sweat efforts.

Details

7×70mm Reflective Chest Detail | Safer in Low Light

A 7×70mm reflective chest detail improves visibility in early mornings, evenings, and shaded roads—helping reduce low-light risk. It’s especially useful for commuting and night rides, while keeping the look clean and minimal for everyday training and casual wear.
Quick-Dry Rate ≥0.25 g/h | Dries Faster Under Intensity

Quick-dry ≥0.25 g/h reflects higher evaporation efficiency, helping prevent sweat build-up during climbs, intervals, or high-heart-rate workouts. Faster evaporation supports a more stable, dry feel against the skin and reduces the distraction and discomfort that can come from damp cling.
Moisture Absorption ≥200% | Fast Wicking, Less Cling

Moisture absorption ≥200% means sweat is pulled in and spread across the surface more aggressively, moving moisture away from the skin faster. This reduces sticky cling and skin friction, making it especially effective for high-sweat riding, indoor training, and long sessions where comfort needs to stay consistent.
130g/m² Lightweight Weight | Less Bulk, More Comfort

At 130g/m², the fabric sits in a lightweight performance range, making it feel less “noticeable” on the body during long rides or frequent gym sessions. Lower bulk also improves packability and supports faster drying, helping this base layer adapt well across multiple seasons and layering setup
Low-Compression Fit | Close, Not Constrictive

Designed with low compression for longer sessions and daily training, it stays close to the body without feeling tight—reducing pressure fatigue and discomfort. Wear it on its own or layer it under a jersey or jacket; the forgiving fit works well across different body types and training intensities.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is this base layer vest designed for?

It’s designed for cyclists and fitness training. Wear it as a lightweight base layer to stay drier during high-sweat efforts, or as a clean, minimal piece for everyday workouts and commuting rides.

What are the benefits of the jacquard mesh fabric?

The jacquard mesh construction balances airflow and a premium texture. The open structure promotes ventilation and helps reduce heat build-up, making it a strong base layer choice for riding and training.

What does Quick-Dry Rate ≥0.25 g/h mean for performance?

Quick-dry ≥0.25 g/h indicates faster evaporation, helping prevent sweat build-up during climbs, intervals, or high-heart-rate workouts. A drier feel reduces distraction and improves comfort over time.

What does the 88% polyester + 12% elastane blend do for comfort?

88% polyester supports durability and sweat management, while 12% elastane adds stretch for a close, adaptive fit. The blend helps the vest move with you without feeling tight or restrictive.

What does “low-compression fit” mean in real use?

A low-compression fit stays close to the body but avoids a tight, squeezing feel. It’s more comfortable for longer sessions and daily training, and it layers easily under a jersey or jacket with a more forgiving fit.

How does the 7×70mm reflective chest detail improve safety?

The 7×70mm reflective chest detail improves visibility in low light—early mornings, evenings, or shaded roads—helping you be seen more clearly for added confidence on commutes and night rides.

How does 130g/m² fabric weight improve the wearing experience?

At 130g/m², the vest is lightweight and low-bulk, so it feels less noticeable during long rides or frequent gym sessions. The lighter build also improves packability and supports faster drying.

How does Moisture Absorption ≥200% help during workouts?

Moisture absorption ≥200% helps pull sweat in quickly and spread it across the surface, moving moisture away from the skin faster. This reduces sweaty cling and friction, improving comfort during high-sweat training.
