The Essential Thermal Long Sleeve Jersey fills the gap between a jacket and a traditional fleece backed jersey. The jersey merges wind- and water-protection on the chest and arms with the breathability of a traditional jersey on the back and the back of the sleeves. The grid fleece backing ads insulation and a comfortable micro climate close to the skin. Combining the fabrics stretchability with a C0 DWR treatment makes the Essential Thermal Long Sleeve Jersey a flexible layer for all types of riding.
