All about our underwear
A baselayer is a fundamental part of any cyclist’s gear. As the name suggests, it serves as the base layer of your riding apparel. A good baselayer significantly enhances comfort on the bike, regardless of whether you're riding in hot or cold conditions. It provides an extra layer of protection against the elements, be it the cold, the sun, or sweat. In this buyer’s guide, we’ll explain the importance of a baselayer and how it can improve your riding experience in many ways. We’ll cover both baselayers and undershorts, highlighting the technologies that make them effective. After reading this guide, you’ll know exactly what to look for in different weather conditions and how to choose the ideal base for your riding gear!
A baselayer, your secret weapon!
Baselayers are often thought of as only being useful in cold weather to provide extra insulation, but they offer much more than that. A good baselayer is not just an added layer to keep you warm; it plays a crucial role in enhancing overall comfort. The tight fit prevents clothing from rubbing against your skin, while also helping to wick away sweat, keeping your body dry and preventing it from cooling down too quickly in colder conditions. Ultimately, a baselayer improves comfort in various ways, comfort that may not be visible on the outside but certainly makes your rides easier and more enjoyable.
Baselayer design
Baselayers are designed to be worn underneath your jersey or jacket, with a perfect fit around your body. To prevent any irritation, all our baselayers feature flat lock stitches or a special seamless construction. We use lightweight materials to ensure our baselayers are never a burden on your ride. Designed specifically for cycling, our baselayer shirts are extra long at the back to ensure full coverage while riding in a cycling position. This helps improve sweat management and keeps the baselayer in place, so it won’t creep up during your ride.
Undershorts, do I wear them?
Wearing a pair of inner shorts is the perfect solution for those who prefer not to wear traditional cycling shorts but still want the comfort and support they provide. Our undershorts can be worn underneath your regular pants or shorts, offering an extra layer of protection and comfort. Made with high-quality Italian padding, undershorts are crafted from lightweight, breathable, and stretchable fabric. Designed to enhance comfort on any ride, the tight fit ensures that the fabric won’t rub against your skin, keeping everything fresh and comfortable throughout your journey.
