The Ladies 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.
Superior wicking and fast drying outer fabrication for improved comfort during physical activity
Highly breathable fabric for improved ventilation on the move
Lightweight and easy care fabric for hassle-free maintenance
Integrated earphone loop for versatility on your ride
UPF+50 fabrication for superior protection against the sun's harsh rays
Next-to-skin performance fit
Quik-Wic garments are ideal for use as a baselayer or to be worn as a single garment. The fabric has been designed and engineered to keep your skin dry by wicking moisture (sweat) away from skin's surface.
Remember, staying dry is the secret to staying comfortable - no matter whether it is hot or cold.
UPF50 garments are specifically designed for sun protection and are produced from a fabric rated for its level of ultraviolet (UV) protection. Ideal for any outdoor adventures where extremely high levels of sun exposure are present.
