This is Spatzwear’s wind-blocking chest layer that can be worn as an outer, mid or base option. The brand says the seamless, stretchy construction gives a close and comfortable aero fit, while the dropped rear has enough stretch to fit over jersey pockets and should keep your lower back protected. Spatzwear claims it packs down very small for a pocket fit so you can take this versatile layer with you always.
