the Super Thermo from Norwegian firm Brynje is a baselayer made from a polypropylene mesh.<\/p>\n<p>It might look strange, but this baselayer is very comfortable, particularly hard-wearing and represents superb value for money.<\/p>\n<p>In use, the mesh is soft against the skin and picks up a lot of perspiration but doesn\u2019t absorb it, making for an exceptionally quick-drying layer.<\/p>\n<p>We love the sleeveless option, but these are available in a variety of different sleeved options as well as women\u2019s-specific versions.<\/p>\n<p>Despite not being cycling-specific, the baselayer is very long and tucks down into bib shorts with ease. We found no unexpected surprises with the sizing, but it\u2019s so stretchy you\u2019d be hard pushed to go far wrong.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve subjected several of these to years of abuse now, as well as countless wash cycles, and have no durability concerns to report.<\/p>\n<ul><li><a href=\"&quot;https:\/\/www.bikeradar.com\/reviews\/clothing\/baselayers\/brynje-super-thermo-c-shirt-baselayer-review\/&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener\" noreferrer=\"\">Read our full Brynje Super Thermo C-Shirt review<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul><div class=\"&quot;monetizer__price-comparison-container&quot;\" data-position=\"&quot;adhoc&quot;\" hidden=\"\"> <h5 class=\"&quot;monetizer__price-comparison-title\" monetizer-title=\"\" style=\"&quot;background-color:\" color:=\"\">Latest deals<\/h5> <div id=\"&quot;monetizer__deals&quot;\" data-type=\"&quot;price-comparison&quot;\" data-config=\"'{&quot;shopId&quot;:&quot;608&quot;,&quot;market&quot;:&quot;gbp_en&quot;,&quot;template&quot;:&quot;flxmmtwnoj&quot;,&quot;searchKeywords&quot;:&quot;Brynje\" super=\"\" thermo=\"\" c-shirt=\"\"\/> <div class=\"&quot;monetizer__price-comparison-explanatory-text\" body-copy-extra-small=\"\" editor-content=\"\"\/><\/div> <h3>Craft ADV Warm Fuseknit Intensity<\/h3> <div class=\"&quot;editorial-rating-summary\" editorial-rating-summary--=\"\"> <div class=\"&quot;ratings-stars\"> <div class=\"&quot;ratings-stars__icons&quot;\"> <i data-grunticon-embed=\"\" class=\"&quot;icon-rating-star\" icon-star-fill=\"\"\/> <i data-grunticon-embed=\"\" class=\"&quot;icon-rating-star\" icon-star-fill=\"\"\/> <i data-grunticon-embed=\"\" class=\"&quot;icon-rating-star\" icon-star-fill=\"\"\/> <i data-grunticon-embed=\"\" class=\"&quot;icon-rating-star\" icon-star-fill=\"\"\/> <i data-grunticon-embed=\"\" class=\"&quot;icon-rating-star\" icon-star-fill=\"\"\/> <\/div> <span class=\"&quot;ratings-stars__value&quot;\"> <span class=\"&quot;sr-only&quot;\">5.0 out of 5 star rating<\/span> <\/span> <\/div> <\/div> <ul class=\"&quot;monetizer-in-text-link-list&quot;\"><li data-type=\"&quot;in-text&quot;\" class=\"&quot;monetizer-in-text-link&quot;\" data-config=\"'{&quot;nameKeywords&quot;:\" adv=\"\" warm=\"\" fuseknit=\"\" data-text=\"&quot;&lt;b&gt;Buy\" now=\"\" from=\"\" and=\"\"> <\/li>\n<\/ul><script><![CDATA[ (function () { var s = document.createElement('script'); s.type = 'text\/javascript'; s.async = true; s.src = \"\/\/bikeradar.com\/pricecomparison\/widget\/intext\/app.bundle.js\"; s.onload = function () { new inText({ domain: \"bikeradar.com\/pricecomparison\", shopId: 608, geolocation: true, }); }; var x = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; x.parentNode.insertBefore(s, x); \/\/trim whitespace from li to flag empty items (twig seems to strip out closing if you remove the space.....

stops<\/li>\n<\/ul><p>Straight out of its box, the Giro looked tiny. But, testament to the stretch of the fabric, not only did it fit well, it was supremely comfortable and warm too. The body-hugging cut prevents sweaty and clammy patches, while the seamless torso means there\u2019s no irritating stitching to cause hotspots when worn under bibs or backpacks.<\/p>\n<p>The more we wore it, the more we loved it as a terrific all-rounder. It\u2019s not too hot and not too cool, and that\u2019s the primary purpose of a baselayer \u2013 to keep you comfortable through a range of activity intensities and weather conditions.<\/p>\n<p>It copes admirably with the heat and sweat of high-intensity riding, but remains as comfortable as can be expected during the inevitable stops when you\u2019re prone to chill. It wicks sweat efficiently, doesn\u2019t hold on to moisture and the cut is perfectly suited to the riding position.<\/p>\n<p>Even though it looked small, the waist and sleeves stayed put and never rode up. With its mid-weight fabric, it could certainly be used right through a UK winter from autumn to spring without overheating or feeling too cold.<\/p>\n<p>The Giro Chrono isn\u2019t cheap, but what you get is a tremendously durable and versatile baselayer that all our testers were unanimously positive about.<\/p>\n<ul><li><a href=\"&quot;https:\/\/www.bikeradar.com\/reviews\/clothing\/baselayers\/giro-chrono-long-sleeve-baselayer-review\/&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener\" noreferrer=\"\">Read our full Giro Chrono baselayer review<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul><div class=\"&quot;monetizer__price-comparison-container&quot;\" data-position=\"&quot;adhoc&quot;\" hidden=\"\"> <h5 class=\"&quot;monetizer__price-comparison-title\" monetizer-title=\"\" style=\"&quot;background-color:\" color:=\"\">Latest deals<\/h5> <div id=\"&quot;monetizer__deals&quot;\" data-type=\"&quot;price-comparison&quot;\" data-config=\"'{&quot;shopId&quot;:&quot;608&quot;,&quot;market&quot;:&quot;gbp_en&quot;,&quot;template&quot;:&quot;flxmmtwnoj&quot;,&quot;searchKeywords&quot;:&quot;Giro\" chrono=\"\" baselayer=\"\"\/> <div class=\"&quot;monetizer__price-comparison-explanatory-text\" body-copy-extra-small=\"\" editor-content=\"\"\/><\/div> <h3>Gore M Windstopper Long Sleeve<\/h3> <div class=\"&quot;editorial-rating-summary\" editorial-rating-summary--=\"\"> <div class=\"&quot;ratings-stars\"> <div class=\"&quot;ratings-stars__icons&quot;\"> <i data-grunticon-embed=\"\" class=\"&quot;icon-rating-star\" icon-star-fill=\"\"\/> <i data-grunticon-embed=\"\" class=\"&quot;icon-rating-star\" icon-star-fill=\"\"\/> <i data-grunticon-embed=\"\" class=\"&quot;icon-rating-star\" icon-star-fill=\"\"\/> <i data-grunticon-embed=\"\" class=\"&quot;icon-rating-star\" icon-star-fill=\"\"\/> <i data-grunticon-embed=\"\" class=\"&quot;icon-rating-star\" icon-star-fill=\"\"\/> <\/div> <span class=\"&quot;ratings-stars__value&quot;\"> <span class=\"&quot;sr-only&quot;\">5.0 out of 5 star rating<\/span> <\/span> <\/div> <\/div> <ul class=\"&quot;monetizer-in-text-link-list&quot;\"><li data-type=\"&quot;in-text&quot;\" class=\"&quot;monetizer-in-text-link&quot;\" data-config=\"'{&quot;nameKeywords&quot;:\" windstopper=\"\" baselayer=\"\" data-text=\"&quot;&lt;b&gt;Buy\" now=\"\" from=\"\" and=\"\"> <\/li>\n<\/ul><script><![CDATA[ (function () { var s = document.createElement('script'); s.type = 'text\/javascript'; s.async = true; s.src = \"\/\/bikeradar.com\/pricecomparison\/widget\/intext\/app.bundle.js\"; s.onload = function () { new inText({ domain: \"bikeradar.com\/pricecomparison\", shopId: 608, geolocation: true, }); }; var x = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; x.parentNode.insertBefore(s, x); \/\/trim whitespace from li to flag empty items (twig seems to strip out closing if you remove the space.....

We reckon it could be worn as your only layer for mountain biking too.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s made of a thin synthetic fabric that\u2019s predominantly recycled polyester with 8 per cent elastane, which has an opaque, silky finish.

to combine the benefits of synthetic wicking with natural insulation and feel.<\/p>\n<p>It certainly makes for a comfortable baselayer \u2013 the fit and feel are great, and it quickly drew a healthy following among our testers.<\/p>\n<p>The price tag is hard to overlook, though, and there are other options that are as comfortable and high-performing at around half the price.

insulation and breathability. There\u2019s a high crew neckline and plenty of length.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a good option for really chilly rides, but a little too warm once the temperature heads up over 5\u00baC, although it handles sweat well and stays dry. The synthetic fabric does get whiffy though and this didn\u2019t entirely wash out in the laundry, so this is one for day rides rather than multi-day trips.<\/p>\n<ul><li><a

are made from Merino wool, a natural material that\u2019s naturally odour resistant, but it doesn\u2019t dry as quickly as polyester.<\/span><\/figcaption><span class=\"&quot;im-image-caption&quot;\"> <i>Ben Delaney \/ Immediate Media<\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Broadly speaking, baselayers are made from synthetic fibres (such as polyester blends) or natural fibres (in most cases, Merino wool).<\/p>\n<p>Synthetic fibres can be manufactured with hollow channels to aid the wicking process and can be incredibly efficient at moving sweat and drying quickly. The downside is they get smelly fast, so most now come with some form of antibacterial treatment.<\/p>\n<p>Merino wool is naturally antibacterial, so it can be worn for extended periods without needing washing, and often feels luxuriously soft against the skin. However, it doesn\u2019t wick as well, takes longer to dry and can feel damp next to your skin, although it does still maintain its ability to insulate.<\/p>\n<p>Many higher-end baselayers are now made from a mixture of wool and synthetic fibres, for the optimum combination of comfort and performance. This means they provide a lot of warmth at a lighter weight and dry faster than pure wool. <span style=\"&quot;font-weight:\">The fabric is usually layered so that the synthetic fabric is against the skin to wick moisture, but the Merino adds extra insulation on the outer surface.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>What to look for in a baselayer<\/h2>\n<div>\n<p>When it comes to choosing a baselayer, there are other things to consider besides the material it\u2019s made from.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also important to think about the fit, thickness of material used, warmth you\u2019ll need from it and odour

Some folk can ride in sub-zero conditions with just a thin baselayer and a shell, while others need three inches of fleece just to go out in autumn.<\/p>\n<p>For ultimate warmth, some baselayers have a windproof panel integrated into the front, but this can come at the cost of breathability when you\u2019re working hard.<\/p>\n<p>Baselayers aren\u2019t just for cool or cold conditions, though.

The design provides more freedom of movement for your arms and uses a diagonal seam that runs from your armpit to your collarbone, rather than circling your shoulder.<\/p>\n<p>The other option is to go sleeveless. If you can\u2019t bear to go without a baselayer on even the hottest days, a sleeveless, string-vest style garment might be the way to go.<\/p>\n<h3>As few seams and zips as possible<\/h3>\n<p>As a general rule, you want as few seams and zips as possible. The reason for that is simple: a baselayer is worn close to your skin, so you\u2019ll want to try to avoid anything that might catch, nip, rub or irritate.<\/p>\n<p>That said, you can\u2019t avoid seams entirely, so look for garments with seams in places that won\u2019t interfere with your movements. Seams that are flatlock stitched rather than cover stitched are less likely to irritate the skin because the joint between fabric panels is level rather than lipped, so they\u2019re the ones to seek out.<\/p>\n<p>Some fabrics use contour mapping, which changes the weave of the fabric so that the structure can map to the body\u2019s shape without the need for numerous panels and seams.<\/p>\n<div

Some tops use a microbacterial treatment that fights them off for a bit, but within a few rides all synthetic tops will have a\u2026 certain nasal ambience.<\/p>\n<p>The answer is easy, of course \u2013 wash your baselayer(s) regularly \u2013 but it\u2019s something worth considering if that\u2019s not something you can do easily (on a multi-day tour or <a

This is generally comfier and prevents the fabric from riding up or bunching.<\/p>\n<p>Thumb loops on long-sleeve baselayers can help keep your hands warmer in winter. They are also great for holding your sleeves in place when you\u2019re layering up or wearing <a href=\"&quot;https:\/\/www.bikeradar.com\/advice\/buyers-guides\/best-winter-cycling-gloves\/&quot;\">winter gloves<\/a> on top.<\/p>\n<h3>Caring for your baselayer<\/h3>\n<p>For the most part, baselayers can be thrown in the wash with the rest of your gear, but given they\u2019re usually made of soft materials it\u2019s best to avoid washing them in the same load as garments with Velcro because snags can potentially ruin a baselayer.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re worried about snags, consider using a wash bag (or, if you don\u2019t have one, a pillowcase also works).<\/p>\n<p>To limit a baselayer\u2019s smelliness you may want to wash it in hot water to get rid of any stowaway stinky bacteria. But be sure to check the washing instructions before you put your baselayer in a hot wash, because Merino can shrink at high temperatures. Also, take note of drying instructions because this can shrink baselayers too.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019ve got a baselayer that can\u2019t be washed in hot water but smells like you\u2019ve just worn it on a five-hour ride when it\u2019s fresh out of the washing machine, Nikwax and Grangers make detergents specifically to take care of the odour-causing bacteria that can build up on your wicking layer. Assos and Rapha also make similar active washes.<\/p> <\/body><\/html>\n<hr class=\"no-tts wp-block-separator\"\/>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> Our pick of the best baselayers for cycling <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":24,"featured_media":45874,"template":"","categories":[1],"acf":{"readingTimeMinutes":"22"},"uagb_featured_image_src":{"full":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/43\/2023\/01\/best-cycling-baselayers-summer-and-winter-baselayers-for-men-and-women.jpg",1600,1067,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/43\/2023\/01\/best-cycling-baselayers-summer-and-winter-baselayers-for-men-and-women-150x150.jpg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/43\/2023\/01\/best-cycling-baselayers-summer-and-winter-baselayers-for-men-and-women-300x200.jpg",300,200,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/43\/2023\/01\/best-cycling-baselayers-summer-and-winter-baselayers-for-men-and-women-768x512.jpg",768,512,true],"large":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/43\/2023\/01\/best-cycling-baselayers-summer-and-winter-baselayers-for-men-and-women-1024x683.jpg",800,534,true],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/43\/2023\/01\/best-cycling-baselayers-summer-and-winter-baselayers-for-men-and-women-1536x1024.jpg",1536,1024,true],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/43\/2023\/01\/best-cycling-baselayers-summer-and-winter-baselayers-for-men-and-women.jpg",1600,1067,false]},"uagb_author_info":{"display_name":"importmanagerhub@sprylab.com","author_link":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/cyclingplus\/author\/importmanagerhubsprylab-com\/"},"uagb_comment_info":0,"uagb_excerpt":"Our pick of the best baselayers for cycling","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/cyclingplus\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rss_feed\/45873"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/cyclingplus\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rss_feed"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/cyclingplus\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/rss_feed"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/cyclingplus\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/24"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/cyclingplus\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/45874"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/cyclingplus\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=45873"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/cyclingplus\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=45873"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
