You could be forgiven for thinking this is a standard string vest, but the Women's Pro Issue 2 Sleeveless Base Layer makes use of an advanced 3D mesh to enhance moisture control beyond that of a standard vest. The 3D structure works to increase surface area with which to draw excess sweat away from the skin. The semi-open design also allows for excellent ventilation and sweat evaporation to keep you cooler. The result is a base layer that will leave you feeling drier and fresher as temperatures rise.
Made from a light stretch rib knit polyester, the Prosecco Tech Short Sleeve Base Layer is body-mapped to provide perfect temperature regulation. Castelli's Prosecco hydrophilic treatment is applied, ensuring any sweat build-up is quickly and efficiently wicked away from the skin. In areas where your shorts or tights overlap, around the waist and bib straps, lighter-weight PrimaLoft® fabric is deployed, balancing out insulation levels so you don't overheat. A crew-neck also makes it easy to wear with low-collar jerseys.

You could be forgiven for thinking this is a standard string vest, but the Women's Pro Issue 2 Base Layer goes far beyond that. It makes use of an advanced 3D mesh to enhance moisture control and deliver sweat-free cycling comfort. The 3D structure works brilliantly thanks to an increased surface area with which to draw excess sweat away from the skin. The semi-open design also allows for excellent ventilation and with greater airflow, it enhances sweat evaporation to keep you cooler. The result is a base layer that will leave you feeling drier and fresher as temperatures rise.
The Core Seamless Long Sleeve Base Layer slips under your cold-weather cycling kit to provide both extra insulation and to ensure sweat isn’t left on the skin to chill you down. With moisture quickly wicked away, you’ll enjoy more warmth and less clamminess. Meanwhile, the seamless construction boosts comfort and the wider neck makes it good even for shorter-collared long-sleeved racing jerseys, ideal for your early season racing and training.
Summer Starts Here Creating that perfect summer weight base layer is harder than it sounds. Castelli have intentionally kept this base layer as minimalist as possible to let the open mesh fabric pull the moisture off the skin. The secret to this base layer comes in the fabric that is highly stretchy but without using Lycra® that tends to hold in the moisture. You stay drier and cooler, thus perform better when the heat rises.
Thanks to the use of 3D closed mesh fabric, the Pro Mesh BL Short Sleeve Base Layer is quick to remove excess sweat from your skin, ensuring your body is kept dry and at a stable temperature. At the same time, this also means you don't get cold, clammy and uncomfortable from excess sweat build-up, even when the pace slows, or you pull over for a well-earned coffee. Even in cold conditions, it can be deployed below a winter-weight base layer to boost sweat-wicking to avoid the dreaded chill from too much moisture build-up. Pro by name and pro by nature, it's an essential addition to any dedicated cyclist's wardrobe.
Pro cyclists ride and race in a wide range of conditions. And so do you. This is why the Pro Mesh 2.0 Short Sleeve Base Layer exists. Designed to work across a wide range of conditions, it keeps you comfortable via its ability to draw sweat off your skin extremely rapidly. Consequently, you’ll remain drier and your body temperature more balanced across all types of weather conditions and during rides of wildly varying intensities. Whether worn under a summer cycling jersey or as an extra wicking layer under a winter base layer, the low weight ensures it’s barely noticeable. However, Castelli still gives it a sublimated graphic so the colour pops when you unzip your jersey.
A cold winter ride needs a great base layer, and they don’t come much warmer, or more comfortable, than the Castelli Flanders 2 Women's Warm Long Sleeve Base Layer. The high-loft, SottoZero Fleece, provides excellent insulation and draws sweat away from the skin, while extra ventilation mesh-zones around the armpits, keep you feeling fresh (so if you stop for a coffee or, freewheel a rapid descent, you won't feel cold and damp). It's stretchy for a perfect fit and, the flat-lock seams are not only smooth and comfortable against the skin, but the flat hem also works brilliantly with tights.
Craft Cool functional underwear is designed specifically to keep you cool while exercising in warm indoor and outdoor conditions. The underwear comes in two high-tech fabrics: plain and mesh. Both fabrics are based on the use of a hexa continuous filament, a uniquely patterned construction with six channels that pull perspiration vapor off the body to keep it cool. Furthermore, the Cool range resists odours and stays cleaner longer. Temperature and Intensity Base Layer Chart:When developing their base layer collection Craft always start out by determining in what temperature and at what intensity the garments should be used. The specific temperature range and intensity level then combine to form the basis for the continuing design and development process. As a result, Craft offer the categories with unique performance characteristics that together cover all kinds of climates and intensities. For optimal performance and comfort, Craft’s base layer should always be worn underneath your outer layers, regardless of weather conditions. Cool Mesh Superlight:COOL MESH SUPERLIGHT is a lightweight mesh fabric combines a six-channelled fibre and a mesh construction with large openings to provide superior ventilation and cooling. This superlight mesh fabric has a structured surface that allows air-channels to form between the skin and the garment, enhancing ventilation even more. Craft use this fabric in full-mesh garments as well as in hot spots for enhanced ventilation.
The Women’s Active Extreme X RN Short Sleeve Baselayer is built for high-performance with a construction that combines lightweight SEAQUAL™ polyester, Coolmax® Air Technology and recycled polyester which work together to provide exceptional body-temperature management. The top comes with a waffle-knitted design that also enhances the transportation of moisture and improves comfort. The baselayer has a specially developed, ergonomic fit that optimises freedom of movement while body-mapped mesh panels boost ventilation in the positions where it is needed most.
The Active Extreme X CN Short Sleeve Baselayer is a high-performance jersey which mixes together Craft’s SEAQUAL™ polyester and Coolmax® Air Technology. SEAQUAL™ SEAQUAL™ is an eco-friendly fabric that is made from plastic pollution and helps to clean our oceans from marine litter. The material also offers optimised moisture transport and ventilation – ensuring maximum comfort during high-intensity workouts. Coolmax® Air Technology Meanwhile, Coolmax® Air Technology is used throughout the baselayer. This specialised fabric technology provides excellent temperature control in both cold and warm conditions. The technology uses polyester fibres with a unique propeller-shaped cross-section which delivers excellent thermoregulation. This also makes the baselayer incredibly quick drying.
