Functional Base Layers for Cycling and Sports
Cycling base layers form the first layer of functional cycling clothing and help keep the body comfortably dry and at a suitable temperature. A base layer is worn directly against the skin underneath a cycling jersey or jacket, where it transfers moisture away from the body and helps prevent uncomfortable cooling during exercise.
Breathable and quick-drying materials make base layers suitable for both relaxed bike rides and intensive training sessions. Warm-weather base layers are usually lightweight and highly ventilated, helping the body breathe more effectively in hot conditions. Models designed for cooler weather provide additional warmth and serve as an essential layer for cycling in spring, autumn and winter.
A close-fitting and elastic base layer sits comfortably underneath cycling clothing without restricting movement. Carefully positioned seams and technical materials help reduce friction and improve comfort during longer rides. In addition to cycling, base layers are also suitable for running, skiing, gym workouts and other active sports.
The selection includes functional base layers with different thicknesses, sleeve lengths and thermal properties from renowned brands NORTHWAVE, CUBE and CRAFT.
