Rapha Merino long sleeve base layer

Discover the ultimate foundation for your cycling wardrobe with the Rapha Women´s Merino Long Sleeve Base Layer. Engineered to provide exceptional comfort and performance, this piece is the secret to mastering your microclimate on any ride, in any season. As the first layer against your skin, its role is critical, and this fully redeveloped design sets a new standard for thermal regulation and a luxurious feel.

Crafted for the dedicated female cyclist, this long sleeve base layer utilizes the natural intelligence of high-content merino wool. Experience its remarkable ability to provide insulating warmth when the temperature drops, yet remain incredibly breathable as your effort and body heat increase. This natural thermoregulation ensures you stay comfortable and focused, whether you´re tackling a brisk winter morning or a cool spring descent. The thermal properties of this top make it an indispensable part of your year-round kit.

The updated fit has been meticulously tailored for the female form, incorporating additional elastane to create a superior stretch. This allows the garment to sit closer to the body, moving with you like a second skin without any restriction. This close-to-skin fit is not just about comfort; it enhances the fabric´s moisture-wicking capabilities, actively pulling perspiration away from your body to keep you dry and prevent chilling. The classic round neck and a design completely without a zipper eliminate bulk and potential irritation, ensuring a smooth, seamless fit under any Rapha jersey or jacket.

More than just a piece of technical apparel, this base layer is a testament to refined performance. The re-engineered material is now lighter, more durable, and more efficient at managing moisture than ever before, all while retaining the signature softness of merino. Enjoy the natural benefits of wool, which is inherently anti-bacterial and odour-resistant, keeping you feeling fresh even on the most demanding rides or multi-day adventures. Its T-shirt-like comfort combined with high-performance attributes makes it a truly versatile and essential garment for every cyclist.
