Dry is good This is the piece Castelli pro riders requested for those in between conditions where the Flanders base layer is too warm but the Core Mesh is too cool, like Spain in February or Belgium in April. You’re not looking for warmth from your base layer, just something to move the moisture away from your body and help your race jersey perform. The 3D mesh fabric creates dead air space next to your skin, while the polyester capillary action moves sweat away.

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.
Thanks to the use of 3D closed mesh fabric, the Pro Mesh BL Short Sleeve Base Layer is quick to remove excess sweat from your skin, ensuring your body is kept dry and at a stable temperature. At the same time, this also means you don't get cold, clammy and uncomfortable from excess sweat build-up, even when the pace slows, or you pull over for a well-earned coffee. Even in cold conditions, it can be deployed below a winter-weight base layer to boost sweat-wicking to avoid the dreaded chill from too much moisture build-up. Pro by name and pro by nature, it's an essential addition to any dedicated cyclist's wardrobe.
Made from a light stretch rib knit polyester, the Prosecco Tech Long Sleeve Base Layer is body-mapped to provide perfect temperature regulation. Castelli's Prosecco hydrophilic treatment is applied, ensuring any sweat build-up is quickly and efficiently wicked away from the skin. In areas where your shorts or tights overlap, around the waist and bib straps, lighter-weight PrimaLoft® fabric is deployed, balancing out insulation levels so you don't overheat. A crew-neck also makes it easy to wear with low-collar jerseys.

A cold winter ride needs a great base layer, and they don’t come much warmer, or more comfortable, than the Castelli Flanders 2 Women's Warm Long Sleeve Base Layer. The high-loft, SottoZero Fleece, provides excellent insulation and draws sweat away from the skin, while extra ventilation mesh-zones around the armpits, keep you feeling fresh (so if you stop for a coffee or, freewheel a rapid descent, you won't feel cold and damp). It's stretchy for a perfect fit and, the flat-lock seams are not only smooth and comfortable against the skin, but the flat hem also works brilliantly with tights.
You could be forgiven for thinking this is a standard string vest, but the Women's Pro Issue 2 Base Layer goes far beyond that. It makes use of an advanced 3D mesh to enhance moisture control and deliver sweat-free cycling comfort. The 3D structure works brilliantly thanks to an increased surface area with which to draw excess sweat away from the skin. The semi-open design also allows for excellent ventilation and with greater airflow, it enhances sweat evaporation to keep you cooler. The result is a base layer that will leave you feeling drier and fresher as temperatures rise.

Packed with comfortable little extras to make every ride a joy, the breathable performance of the Active Extreme Extreme CN Base Layer from Craft. Superior Venting As well as the channel-knitted polyester that allows air in and out with ease, the Active Extreme helps sweat and moisture wick away from the skin faster than ever before. No More Irritation If you’re looking for an extra layer of light insulation, but you’re fed up with chafing and painful rubbing then this represents a revolution in base layer design. Seams and stitching have been reduced to a minimum, flatlocked and designed to follow your torso as it moves as part of its ergonomic fit. As a result, you can wave goodbye to chafing over longer distances for good.
Constructed from a ribbed fabric this Active Extreme Base Layer acts in two ways to maintain comfort when you're active. Firstly the ribbed fabric increases surface area and helps trap air that is warmed by body heat when conditions are cold, whilst also radiating heat as you start to warm up. The close fit and ribbing also maximise sweat removal when you're active, drawing moisture from the skin allowing it to evaporate. This keeps you dry and avoids the chilling effect of sweat build up as your intensity level drops. Whether you're completing an intense cold weather bike ride or hitting the miles on a run the Active extreme base layer is there to keep you comfortable and warm.
The Active Extreme X CN Long Sleeve Baselayer is a high-performance jersey which mixes together Craft’s SEAQUAL™ polyester and Coolmax® Air Technology. SEAQUAL™ SEAQUAL™ is an eco-friendly fabric that is made from plastic pollution and helps to clean our oceans from marine litter. The material also offers optimised moisture transport and ventilation – ensuring maximum comfort during high-intensity workouts. Coolmax® Air Technology Meanwhile, Coolmax® Air Technology is used throughout the baselayer. This specialised fabric technology provides excellent temperature control in both cold and warm conditions. The technology uses polyester fibres with a unique propeller-shaped cross-section which delivers excellent thermoregulation. This also makes the baselayer incredibly quick drying.
