So what makes the Windbreaking Performance Base Layer better than previous types of wind-blocking base layer? The answer lies in the Arrowind™ technology. Many windproof base layers use a second layer of inflexible and poorly breathable membrane material to keep the wind out - this restricts movement and causes heat and sweat build-up. Not good. Instead, Arrowind™ technology uses a single-layer wind-resistant fabric which is also remarkably breathable and flexible. You'll find Arrowind™ across the front and shoulders of the base layer, blocking up to 80 per cent of the air particles hitting your torso while maintaining the same breathability and flexibility found in warp-knitted fabrics. Meanwhile the back benefits from an ultra-breathable, high-stretch material that's quick to wick away sweat and allows humidity to escape. Polygiene® treatment is also used for all-day, everyday freshness. Its 'Wear More. Wash Less®' technology resists the build-up of odour-inducing bacteria and won't wash out. This gives freshness for the life of the garment, reduced need to wash between uses and hence an extended life span and minimises its environmental impact. The GripGrab Windbreaking Short Sleeve Base Layer allows you to leave your gilet at home and enjoy a lightweight setup on windy days.

DoctorGel Protection The DoctorGel™ system has been developed in collaboration with both active athletes and doctors. GripGrab gloves with DoctorGel™ are designed to reduce the feeling of pins and needles in the fingers secondary to compression of the nerves serving the hand. The symptoms can present as light tingling in the fingers but can progress to more severe numbness and paresthesias. The condition is described in the literature as “Cyclist’s palsy” and the problem arises when a nerve to the hand is compressed between the handlebars and the underlying bone. Both mountain bike and road bike riders, regardless of level of experience, may suffer temporarily from nerve compression. A prospective clinical study has shown that 70% of long-distance riders experience symptoms related to nerve compression. Doctor Gel has been developed specifically to help combat this nerve compression when riding.
