They're proficient at regulating temperature and managing moisture build-up, and with little to no seams at work, they'll nearly eliminate the risk of chafing or abrasion.  They're available in multiple fabric weights to provide the specific performance you need to control your climate in every season.

Specialized Mountain Liner Vest
$15.00 $75.00 80% Off
Everything you need, right where you want it. Sure, it's a simple idea on paper, but there's a reason why there isn't anything else like our Men's Mountain Vest with SWAT™ on the market today—it rules. To start, it features three integrated pockets that keep your trail essentials right where you want them—on the body. This way, you can leave the stifling, sweaty backpack at home without having to leave a thing behind. Keys, phone, pumps (there's a special loop for that), tubes—you name it, and it'll probably fit in one of these pockets. Now, you're probably thinking, "Won't this be hot?" The simple answer is no, but here's why. We made this vest from an extremely lightweight and highly breathable mesh material called VaporRize™. In fact, if you even notice it at all, you'll find that its added moisture management properties make it feel more like a base layer than a portage device.
