Castelli Flanders 2 long sleeve base layer

Castelli Flanders 2 Long Sleeve Base Layer Conquer the cold and elevate your winter riding experience with the Castelli Flanders 2 Long Sleeve Base Layer, the essential foundation for any serious cyclist´s cold-weather wardrobe.

Engineered for men who refuse to let dropping temperatures dictate their training schedule, this thermal base layer is your first line of defense against the biting wind and chill, ensuring you stay warm, dry, and comfortable from the first pedal stroke to the last.

Inspired by the notoriously harsh and damp conditions of the Flanders classics, the Flanders 2 is meticulously designed to provide exceptional warmth without compromising on performance.

At its core is the innovative SottoZero Fleece fabric, a marvel of thermal regulation.

This plush, fleecy material is incredibly soft against the skin and excels at trapping body heat, creating a warm pocket of air that insulates you from the cold.

Unlike simple thermal t-shirts, its multi-denier construction actively pulls moisture away from your skin, a critical function for staying warm.

By wicking sweat to the outer layers, it prevents the chilling effect of damp fabric, keeping you comfortable even during intense efforts and hard climbs.

The fit is pure Castelli:anatomically cut to sit like a second skin.

The inherent stretch of the fabric allows for complete freedom of movement, ensuring the base layer moves with you, never feeling restrictive.

This close-to-body fit is crucial for maximizing the fabric´s moisture-wicking and thermal properties.

To further enhance comfort on long rides, the Flanders 2 is constructed with flat Merrow stitching, which lies completely flat against the skin to eliminate any possibility of chafing or irritation under your bib straps and jersey.

Understanding the dynamics of high-intensity cycling, Castelli has integrated a strategic mesh insert under the armpits.

This critical detail provides targeted ventilation where you need it most, allowing excess heat and vapor to escape, preventing overheating and maintaining a perfectly balanced microclimate.

The mid-height collar is another thoughtful feature, designed to provide extra warmth around the neck and seal out drafts without the bulk of a full turtleneck.

It integrates seamlessly with the collar of your outer jersey or jacket.

The clean, without zipper design further enhances comfort and simplifies layering.

As a long sleeve garment, it provides full-arm coverage for complete thermal protection.
