FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the Airflow fabric?

The Airflow fabric is designed to regulate body temperature by maximizing airflow and wicking moisture away from the skin, keeping you cool and dry.

Are the mesh panels durable?

Yes, the laser-cut perforated mesh panels are integrated into the design for enhanced breathability and are constructed to be durable for active use.

Can this base layer be worn in cold weather?

While optimized for warmer weather, it can be layered under warmer riding gear in cooler temperatures for added moisture management.

How does the fit compare to standard base layers?

This base layer features a sculpted, athletic fit designed for performance and a flattering silhouette. It is generally a snugger fit than a casual base layer.

Does the base layer offer sun protection?

Yes, the technical fabric provides UV30+ protection, helping to shield your skin from harmful sun rays.

What is the recommended way to wash the base layer?

Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30 degrees Celsius with similar colours. Avoid bleach and tumble drying, and do not use fabric softeners.

Troubleshooting

Base layer feels too warm

Ensure the quarter zip is open for maximum ventilation. If still too warm, consider layering with lighter undergarments or wearing in cooler conditions.

Fabric feels restrictive

Verify the correct size has been selected. The athletic cut is designed for a snug fit; consider sizing up if a looser feel is preferred.

Zipper is stiff

Gently pull the zipper up and down a few times. If it persists, a small amount of lubricant like graphite or wax can be applied to the teeth.
