Part of the ASSOS Layering System, the Skinfoil Summer NS (No-Sleeves) Base Layer weighs barely anything so you’ll hardly know it’s there. And with the Circular Seamless construction its brilliantly comfortable against the skin too, with no side seams to cause irritation. Then we come to moisture management, and here it's brilliant too. The blend of carbon and polypropylene provide a major step up in both breathability and sweat-wicking performance compared to previous generation base layers. And with anti-bacterial properties also present, it's a base layer that leaves you drier and fresher, even during the hottest and sweatiest of bike rides. To get the best out of your performance in the heat, it's the ideal start.
With the NS Skin Layer Superleger Base Layer, you have a super-quick wicking later that fits smoothly under your race jersey or for use as your only upper body layer for the sweat and intensity of indoor training and racing. With the functional mesh textile offering active cooling, odour control, and rapid-wicking properties it's ideal for summer’s extreme heat. The fit of the Superléger is specifically tailored to work with your most aerodynamic jerseys, ensuring it's as unobtrusive as possible. The Circular Seamless tubular knit technology gives a smooth, second-skin fit that's free of areas of irritation while also offering light compression for extra comfort. The sleeveless design removes unnecessary bulk too (and incidentally ensures the Push Pull aerodynamic sleeves of Assos summer cycling jerseys work optimally too).
Temperature regulation, insulation and moisture control are all key performance characteristics of the latest ASSOSOIRES Winter Skin Layer. Worn as the base under your winter cycling outer and mid-layers, the blend of carbon and polypropylene yarns offers a significant improvement in both warmth and moisture control compared to its predecessors. Body warmth is maintained, heat is retained and at the same time, the yarns quickly draw moisture off your skin. This leaves you dry and comfortable and less prone to feeling cold from sweat build-up after harder efforts. Elastane fibres are also used to give the base layer its close to the body stretch fit and allow for easy mobility too. And with a Circular Knit construction, there are no seams to cause undue irritation. It's the perfect first layer of your winter cycling wardrobe.
The Superléger Short Sleeve Cycling Base Layer has its focus on two specific areas of cycling. Firstly, it's created for the specific demands of indoor training and racing. Worn as your only top layer during indoor training, it optimises moisture-wicking performance, ventilation and breathability, keeping you cooler as you generate increased levels of body heat and sweat. The body-mapped design makes use of two types of open mesh, promoting both airflow and moisture management. You'll also find the second area in which it excels is the hottest days of outdoor cycling. Paired with the lightest race jersey in your kit drawer, the blend of polypropylene yarns have been carefully engineered to offer extra moisture control and a lightly compressive fit for added comfort as the mercury rises. When it comes to fit, the Superléger uses Circular Seamless tubular knit technology to give a smooth, second-skin fit that's free of areas of irritation. Set-in sleeves are also used to allow for the optimal movement level, whether your main layer or under a cycling jersey.

Worn under a summer cycling jersey or as an additional wicking layer under your winter riding kit, or even for your indoor training sessions, the Thermodynamic Lite T-Shirt is an excellent base layer whatever the prevailing conditions. The ThermoDRYamic fabric is exceptionally light in weight and brilliantly breathable, the combination ensuring extreme levels of comfort - you'll soon forget you have it on. With sweat dealt with quickly, feelings of dampness and clamminess are a thing of the past.
Sweat is vital to keep you cool when cycling, but if too much hangs around you'll soon feel uncomfortable. The Bodyfit Pro Base Layer ensures that even during the most intense training session 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.

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.
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.
