At first sight, the Bontrager B1 Sleeveless base layer looks like a very lightweight option. But it’s not quite as light as it looks, with the fabric used a bit denser than some of the competition. The Profila Cool fabric has a mesh structure, with areas of thinner fabric between the more structural parts.
