Tips

Wear the Essential Layer LS directly against your skin under a jersey or jacket. For cold weather, pair it with a thermal jersey and windproof shell; in warmer conditions, it works alone or under a lightweight jersey. Machine wash at 30°C with similar colours and avoid fabric softeners to preserve wicking performance.
