Base Layers for Cycling

Using cycling base layers has a whole host of benefits including keeping you warm, lightly compressing your muscles during exercise and wicking moisture away from your skin. If you find your core is often in need of heat then a sleeveless base layer could be the right one for you. If you're the opposite and your torso doesn't need the help, we have arm, leg and neck warmers available too.

Thermal Cycling Base Layers

Cycling thermals are ideal for winter months and cold rides. They provide extremely effective insulation and including them as just one of your layers is the most effective way to stay warm. We'd strongly recommend wearing a base layer for cycling in winter, you might even consider a base layer for cycling in summer to wick moisture from your skin.

If you’re looking to improve insulation, then consider pairing a merino cycling base layer with a quality cycling jersey. Our range of leggings and trousershave a variety of warmth ratings and if your legs get hot while you ride then check out ourcycling shorts.

Windproof Base Layers

Sometimes it isn't cold, but the wind can be cutting and remove any heat that you're working up from your ride. With a thin windproof layer, you can keep warm without adding another layer of heat building on top of your workout.
