The SC NEXT Sleeveless Base Layer is the quiet foundation of a great ride - the layer you forget you're wearing, working hard so you don't have to think about it. Lightweight, breathable and built to keep you dry from the first kilometre to the last. It's also built with the planet in mind. The fabric is crafted from post-consumer recycled polyester, regenerated from discarded plastic bottles to cut plastic waste, backed by ECO SOUL eco-technology and certified to the OEKO-TEX standard for sustainable, responsible performance. At just 80gsm, the featherlight, finely woven fabric delivers a buttery-soft hand-feel with a raw-cut, no-fray finish. And here is what sets it apart: no stitched seams at all. The construction is heat-bonded - welded rather than sewn - so nothing presses on the skin and nothing chafes. One step further in performance. Four-way stretch moves with the body without restriction, while superior breathability and advanced moisture management wick sweat away from the skin and dry fast. Anti-curl dimensional stability keeps the fabric flat and in place, wash after wash. The base layer that does its job in silence - so all you feel is the ride.
