An undervest is an undervest, right? True, but it’s even more of one when, like Nalini’s Dolce model, it fits snugly, wicks moisture so effectively it feels dry to the touch on arrival after an hour of riding in the rain and, perhaps most importantly despite the fact that by definition it won’t often get exposed to public view, looks good.
The Dolce achieves the last by dint of neat detailing in a fabric called Nair. The main panels are in a particularly soft polypropylene mesh and the cut of the size L tested is, well, well-suited to the trim midriff… It is made in Italy, after all.
Nalini Dolce short sleeve base layer £34.99, sizes S-XXL
