We’ve engineered our gear to answer the real challenges riders face on the road. Here’s everything you might want to know about Altouris and our Technical Base Layer.
Product Performance
Is the Technical Base Layer suitable for hot and cold conditions?
Yes. The merino blend naturally adapts to varying temperatures, keeping you warm in cooler weather and cool in heat.
Does it really regulate body temperature?
Absolutely. Merino wool’s natural fibers manage heat and moisture, helping maintain a stable, comfortable body temperature while you ride.
Can I use it for commuting as well as touring?
Yes. Its versatile design makes it just as effective for short daily commutes as it is for long-distance touring.
Does it help reduce rider fatigue?
Yes. The lightweight, breathable construction helps manage moisture and temperature, keeping you more comfortable for longer and reducing physical strain.
Is this suitable for multi-day rides?
Definitely. Merino’s natural odor resistance means you can wear it for extended periods without it smelling, making it ideal for multi-day trips.
Fabric & Care
How should I wash the base layer?
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Avoid bleach or fabric softeners, and lay flat to dry to preserve shape and performance.
Will the fabric lose performance over time?
Not if cared for properly. The merino blend retains its performance qualities such as moisture management and temperature regulation through many washes.
Is it quick-drying?
Yes. The fabric is designed to dry faster than standard cotton, making it practical for travel and repeat wear.
Will it shrink in the wash?
When washed according to care instructions, the base layer will maintain its size and fit.
Does the Merino blend itch?
No. The fine merino fibers are soft and smooth, providing itch-free comfort against the skin.
Fit & Sizing
What size should I order?
Refer to the sizing guide and choose your regular size for a snug, performance fit. Size up if you prefer a looser feel.
Is it suitable for larger or broader riders?
Yes. The natural stretch of the fabric and available size range make it comfortable for broader builds.
Is the cut different from regular athletic wear?
Yes. It’s tailored for riding posture, with a fit that works both on and off the bike.
Can I wear it as a standalone top off the bike?
Absolutely. Its clean, minimal design makes it suitable for casual wear.
Is it unisex?
Yes. The Technical Base Layer is designed to suit all riders, regardless of gender.
