- Do I need a cycling base layer in summer?
Riding with a base layer offers a key advantage when temperatures rise: improved airflow. By drawing sweat away from your body, the base layer enhances ventilation, allowing moisture to evaporate more effectively. This helps keep you cooler and more comfortable, even in the heat.
- How tight should a cycling base layer be?
Your base layers should offer a snug fit without being too tight or too loose. Unlike compression layers, which are designed to be very tight, base layers should sit close to the skin, allowing for freedom of movement and mobility without any restriction.
- What material is used for base layer cycling?
High breathable materials, such as Polartec® Delta™, are a top choice for cycling base layers due to its superior temperature regulation, moisture-wicking properties, and comfort. This technical fibres effectively draws moisture away from the skin while providing warmth, making it perfect for long rides in unpredictable weather conditions.
- What to wear over a base layer?
Over your base layer, insulation becomes key. During spring or summer, you can skip the extra layer and go straight to your outer jackets. These should include a breathable short-sleeve jersey and a windbreaker, providing protection from the elements while being easy to remove or put back on as your body temperature fluctuates.
