To get the best out of your performance in the heat, it's the ideal start.

Pro cyclists ride and race in a wide range of conditions. And so do you. This is why the Pro Mesh 2.0 Short Sleeve Base Layer exists. Designed to work across a wide range of conditions, it keeps you comfortable via its ability to draw sweat off your skin extremely rapidly. Consequently, you’ll remain drier and your body temperature more balanced across all types of weather conditions and during rides of wildly varying intensities. Whether worn under a summer cycling jersey or as an extra wicking layer under a winter base layer, the low weight ensures it’s barely noticeable. However, Castelli still gives it a sublimated graphic so the colour pops when you unzip your jersey.
