Functions of a base layer

Your body releases heat and perspiration as you ride. If you do not wear a suitable base layer, moisture management will be very difficult, preventing the regulation of your body temperature, leaving you wearing heavy, cold clothes, which feel very unpleasant. This 100 fast-drying, cycling base layer, made out of soft fabric, keeps you warm and comfortable during occasional rides.

Product warmth

This is a product's ability to protect from the cold. It depends on the material's thermal resistance and how much air can pass through it. The higher its thermal resistance, the more the product retains the heat produced by the body while cycling.

CARE TIPS

Machine wash at 30°C. Synthetic programme. Turn the garment inside out. Do not add softener. Line dry in a warm, ventilated area. Do not tumble dry.Do not dry clean. Do not bleach. Do not place on a heater to dry.
