Pulling on the Women's Pro Short Sleeve Base Layer provides you with a quick-wicking, breathable layer, ensuring your cycling efforts don't leave you too hot or too sweaty. It achieves this firstly via a lightweight ribbed front. This contributes to heat dissipation from your core and allows for improved body temperature regulation. To the back, meanwhile, the mesh material exposes more skin to the air, boosting breathability, while also doing a great job at wicking away sweat. The mesh zone also extends to the lower front, removing excess bulk where it tucks into your shorts. A low-cut collar also matches the cut of Sportful's cycling jerseys.
The 2nd Skin Mesh Short Sleeve Base Layer is a next-to-the-skin layer, dedicated to one thing - dealing quickly with sweat. As you generate heat and perspiration, the large surface area of the mesh is extremely effective at drawing excess moisture off the skin. This quick-wicking action will keep you feeling drier and more comfortable, both as your effort-levels increase and temperatures peak. Seams are kept to a minimum to avoid chafing, while graduated knits are used to add a graphic effect for when you unzip your jersey.
