Mountain Hardwear Transition Long Sleeve Zip
T- Shirt
If you find yourself on a
long biking trip faced with a broad range of weather conditions, this shirt
will prove to be perfect for the journey. The Transition T is made from a
three-ply WindStopper fabric whose main function is to wick away sweat from
the skin. Due to this facet, the need to add or remove layers of additional
clothing is minimized and in short- you are able to concentrate on riding,
not stopping to add or remove that extra sweatshirt you might have on. It’s
a very nice piece of clothing to have handy in your backpack.
