Q&A
Why should you wear a base layer in summer? A summer base layer dramatically improves moisture-wicking performance in a hot weather cycling outfit. The open weave structure of a base layer moves sweat away from your body as you work hard on the climb; so, you are not wet-through and prone to chills on the subsequent descent. Due to its superior next-to-skin comfort, a summer base layer reduces skin irritation by removing the friction between the seams of your cycling jersey and your skin. What is a three-season base layer? A three-season base layer is designed and made to keep you dry and comfortable in a range of varying weather conditions. The GripGrab 3-Season Short Sleeve Base Layer is made from a four-way stretch fabric so that it fits like a second skin; it features an open mesh weave on the front of the base layer and a solid fabric panel on the rear of the torso. The unique design is focused on maximum versatility; with the open weave front allowing maximum ventilation with a jersey unzipped on a sweltering summer climb; while the solid high-wicking material back panel draws moisture away from your skin to keep you dry and comfortable, even in the chillier transition seasons. Why is this base layer available in double sizes? Both the fabric and construction are very stretchable and adapt to different body shapes and sizes. Therefore, we can offer this cycling base layer in double sizes. 3-Seasons - Is this base layer also suitable for winter? This sleeveless base layer is not warm enough for use in winter, unless you enjoy a warm winter training camp on Mallorca. It is ideal for cool summer and mild spring and autumn days. Can I also wear this shirt on its own? No, this base layer is intended to be worn underneath a cycling jersey. We do not recommend wearing it as a stand-alone top.
