Description
WHAT IT IS
An exceptionally light base layer that manages moisture and controls odor beneath second-skin cold-weather layers or as a standalone top during indoor training.
WHY WE MADE IT
Thermal, weatherproof equipment is no longer the bulky PVC rain capes and adapted ski jackets of decades past, so—at the request of our WorldTour riders—we tailored a long-sleeve base layer to provide summer-worthy wicking and odor control that fits unobtrusively beneath race-tuned equipment like our Spring Fall Jersey or Jacket. In cool or cold weather, transporting internal moisture is as important as keeping the external elements out, especially during intense training or racing, when a series of intervals, hill repeats, or attacks can lead to lingering moisture, a clammy chill, and frigid misery. Alternatively, full-arm wicking is a must for indoor training, when moving through the air isn’t constantly keeping your arms dry.
WHEN/HOW TO USE IT
Layer it under insulating, weatherproof layers for fall, winter, and early spring; for indoor training, layer it under your bib straps and omit the jersey altogether.

FEATURED FABRICS
Our reworked Circular Seamless mesh eliminates seams and gently compresses for a fit that disappears once it’s on. Odor control and wicking properties make the textile ideal for layering for intense training in cooler weather.
CONSTRUCTION/FIT Two separate mesh patterns combine engineered stretch properties for a body-mapped fit. Set-in sleeves preserve a full range of motion beneath layers
