Ride out against the headwind.

The GripGrab WindBreaking Thermal Short Sleeve Base Layer is the protection and comfort you need for cycling in challenging weather conditions. Employing the innovative Arrowind™ technology, this exciting new base layer pushes the boundaries in combining wind protection, best-in-class breathability and great freedom of movement.

Many windproof base layers feature a second-layer panel of non-stretch windproof membrane material on the front that can restrict movement and lead to heat build-up. The GripGrab WindBreaking Thermal Short Sleeve Base Layer, however, employs a new single-layer fabric that is exceptionally breathable and flexible.

The windbreaking fabric on the front and shoulders blocks up to 80 percent of the air particles that bombard your torso while maintaining the same breathability found in warp-knitted fabrics. The back of this base layer is made from ultra-breathable, high-stretch material which wicks away sweat and allows heat build-up to dissipate. The combined result is protection and heat control that keeps you comfortable on your ride.

To keep you fresh and odour-free, it features Polygiene® treatment. Its 'Wear More. Wash Less®' technology uses silver ions to reduce the build-up of odour-inducing bacteria. The treatment is entirely safe to wear against the skin and doesn’t wash out. Reduced bacteria build-up leads to reduced odour and therefore reduced washing frequency, meaning that Polygiene® can also significantly extend the life of a base layer and minimise its environmental impact.

FAQ

What is a Windbreaking base layer?
GripGrab’s range of Windbreaking base layers take the idea of windproof – that is, stopping the wind from reaching your skin – to another level. The Arrowind Windbreaking fabric is a warp knit construction that blocks up to 80% of windchill inducing air particles. However, the clever bit comes from the 20% that does get through: those air particles permeate the material, helping to dry perspiration and keep you comfortable.

When would I wear it?
The most obvious scenario for a Windbreaking base layer is when you are trying to strip back the bulk of your kit and reduce the number of total layers; for example, a Windbreaking base layer could allow you to leave your gilet at home and wear just a short sleeve jersey, but still maintain a level of windchill protection on descents and cold morning starts.
