Product information
The Men's Heatshield Vest utilizes Polartec® Power Dry® technology which pulls moisture directly from the skin and transfers it to the outer surface to quickly dissipate. This continuous evaporation process helps to keep you cool as your body heat increases, and warm when temperatures begin to drop. UPF+50 fabrication combined with Quik-Wic technology is the highest priority for baselayers and next-to-skin surfaces making the Heatshield vest the ultimate cycling baselayer.
