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.
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 Women’s Midweight Long Sleeve Base Layer forms part of the winter range of base layers but it's the lightest in the range. The inner face is brushed, creating air pockets that provide insulation against cooler temperatures. But the lack of weight and excellent breathability ensure it deals well with the higher sweat rate of warmer days and higher intensity riding. This long sleeve version adds extra coverage under your long sleeve cycling jerseys and the stretch fabric gives a snug, comfortable fit. Sportful temperature guide Sportful now split the temperature range of their garments into two zones. Each zone signifies a different temperature range depending on whether you’re riding at a slower, steadier pace or more intense, faster pace. This means, for example, a jacket may be rated down to 0 degrees C if your cycling effort is at a harder and more intense pace where body heat is quickly built-up. However, the same jacket will be better suited to slightly warmer temperatures, say 5 degrees C, when your efforts are slower and steadier where you’re simply not generating as much body heat.
Sweat is vital to keep you cool when cycling, but if too much hangs around you'll soon feel uncomfortable. The Bodyfit Pro Sleeveless Base Layer ensures that even during the most intense training session and warmest of days, excess sweat is wicked away quickly to leave you feeling cool, fresh and dry. The vertical ribs of the fabric keep less of the base layer in contact with the skin, helping air circulate and prevent any uncomfortable clinging against the skin. It's also designed to be a particularly good fit if you're pairing it with a Sportful jersey and bib shorts as well as offering superb comfort with any cycling kit you choose.
