Northwave Warm L/S Undervest review

Although the hollow fibre polypropylene fabric that Northwave use isn’t as stretchy and contour-hugging as some, the toweling inner face is comfy and it transports moisture well.

If wet, this top doesn’t dry as quickly as some thinner ones, but on the flipside it’s quite deep pile and keeps you warmer when the mercury is low. The outer surface started to bobble fairly early on, but like everything we’ve tried from Northwave recently, the design is excellent with flat-stitched seams throughout and raglan shoulders.
