Intense cold-weather session? This base layer provides good moisture wicking when cycling plus good protection against the cold. Race Range Base LayerThe race road cycling cold-weather base layer was designed for high-intensity coldweather rides. The major feature of this base layer is its ability to limit sweat and overheating. Micro-perforations over all warm areas ensure sweat wicking in the form of water vapour, preventing the fabric from retaining sweat.Plus, its polyamide composition limits odours. Directions for UseIt’s challenging to offer advice on cold-weather clothing because it depends on your sensitivity to the cold.However, here is some advice that applies to everyone: Don’t wear too many layers - you’ll lose the benefit of your warm clothing, and you’ll be uncomfortable. When road cycling or mountain biking, you should always be a bit cold to begin with. You’ll soon warm up after you’ve been pedalling for a few minutes, so starting a bit cold will be comfier in the long run. The Ideal ComboMost people find that a base layer under a winter jacket is what they need. It protects you from the cold when exercising, while also letting sweat escape.If you feel the cold, you could also wear a long-sleeved jersey, but this will stop sweat from escaping. Instead, try different jacket thicknesses. Essential, Training, and Race rangesYou’ll find three levels within our Van Rysel cold-weather cycling base layers range. Essential: the warmest products for low-intensity effort where you don’t need to wick away sweat or have high level temperature regulation. Training: the perfect balance between warmth and sweat wicking. Race: the perfect balance between warmth and breathability. The idea isn’t to remove sweat, but to reduce it.
