What they are saying

We know riders demand gear that works as hard as they do. Here are some quick answers to the questions we get most about the Technical Base Layer.

Got more questions? Visit our FAQs page.

visit FAqs

Is the base layer suitable for both hot and cold weather?

Yes. The merino wool construction naturally regulates temperature keeping you warm in cold conditions and cool when it’s hot making it ideal for year-round use.

Can I wear this under any riding jacket?

Absolutely. Its low-profile, flexible design allows it to layer comfortably under most riding jackets without adding bulk.

How do I wash the base layer?

For best results, machine wash on a gentle, cold cycle with mild detergent. Avoid bleach or fabric softeners, and lay flat to dry to preserve the shape and performance of the fabric.

Will it fit larger riders comfortably?

Yes. The fabric has natural stretch for ease of movement, and sizes are available to accommodate a range of body types. For the best fit, refer to the sizing guide and consider your preferred level of snugness.

Does it really resist odours?

Yes. Merino wool has natural antimicrobial properties that help reduce odor build-up, even after long periods of wear. This makes it perfect for multi-day rides or trips without frequent washing.
