Rapha Merino short sleeve base layer

RAPHA Men´s Merino Short Sleeve Base Layer

Discover the cornerstone of any high-performance cycling wardrobe with the Rapha Men´s Merino Short Sleeve Base Layer. Engineered to be the ultimate foundation for comfort and performance in any weather, this piece is an essential for discerning cyclists who demand the best. Worn next to the skin, it serves as your personal micro-climate regulator, ensuring you remain comfortable whether you´re tackling a chilly morning ascent or pushing the pace on a warm afternoon.

The magic of this base layer lies in its use of nature´s most versatile performance fibre: Merino wool. Renowned for its exceptional thermal properties, this garment provides remarkable insulation when it´s cool, trapping a layer of air to keep you warm without overheating. As your effort increases and your body temperature rises, the material´s incredible breathability comes into play, actively wicking moisture and sweat away from your skin to the outer surface, where it can evaporate quickly. This process keeps you significantly drier, more comfortable, and free from the chill associated with damp fabrics.

Designed for a flawless on-bike experience, this T-shirt style base layer features a dynamic stretch fit that moves with your body like a second skin. The construction incorporates strategically placed flatlock seams, which are positioned away from high-friction areas like the underarms to completely eliminate chafing and irritation. Raglan sleeves provide enhanced freedom of movement through the shoulders, while a dropped tail offers extended coverage in the aggressive riding position, preventing the garment from riding up. The minimalist, without zipper design ensures a smooth, bulk-free profile beneath your jersey and bib shorts. Thanks to the natural antibacterial and odour-resistant properties of wool, you can stay fresh ride after ride, making it the perfect choice for multi-day tours and intense training blocks.
