Using the power of PrimaLoft® Piquet yarns, the Intimo Heat Long Sleeved Base Layer achieve an incredible balance of warmth and softness matched to outstanding moisture control. As the first layer of your winter cycling kit, it prevents heat loss to the cold, maintaining excellent comfort as temperatures head towards freezing. However, as you build up body heat from harder exertions on the bike, outstanding breathability and moisture-wicking prevent sweat from hanging around. Whether tapping out steady miles or hitting harder intervals the result is perfect temperature regulation and dryness.
Cycling in cool autumnal and spring conditions can be difficult to dress for. You can soon be too hot and sweaty after harder efforts which then makes you cold when you back off the pace. And yet take it steady and you can soon feel a chill. The ASSOSOIRES Spring Fall Skin Layer looks to address this dilemma. For a start, the carbon and polypropylene yarns offer significantly improved insulation and moisture management in comparison to previous models of Assos base layers. The technical blend of medium-weight fabrics balances both excellent insulation levels with an impressive ability to rapidly wick away sweat from the skin. The result is a smooth, insulating, and antibacterial short-sleeve first layer that keeps your core dry and protected under your outer layers. Elastane fibres are also used to give the base layer its close to the body stretch fit and allow for easy mobility too. And with a Circular Knit construction, there are no seams to cause undue irritation. Thanks to this construction it's some 11% lighter than it's Skinfoil predecessors too, making it less noticeable than ever before. It's the perfect first layer of your transitional season's cycling wardrobe.
Part of the ASSOS Layering System, the ASSOSOIRES Summer Short Sleeve Skin Layer weighs in some 25% less than the Skinfoil base layer that preceded it. And with the Circular Seamless construction its brilliantly comfortable against the skin too, with no side seams to cause irritation. Then we come to moisture management, and here it's brilliant too. The blend of carbon and polypropylene provide a major step up in both breathability and sweat-wicking performance compared to previous generation base layers. And with anti-bacterial properties also present, it's a base layer that leaves you drier and fresher, even during the hottest and sweatiest of bike rides. To get the best out of your performance in the heat, it's the ideal start.
Temperature regulation, insulation and moisture control are all key performance characteristics of the latest ASSOSOIRES Winter Skin Layer. Worn as the base under your winter cycling outer and mid-layers, the blend of carbon and polypropylene yarns offers a significant improvement in both warmth and moisture control compared to its predecessors. Body warmth is maintained, heat is retained and at the same time, the yarns quickly draw moisture off your skin. This leaves you dry and comfortable and less prone to feeling cold from sweat build-up after harder efforts. Elastane fibres are also used to give the base layer its close to the body stretch fit and allow for easy mobility too. And with a Circular Knit construction, there are no seams to cause undue irritation. It's the perfect first layer of your winter cycling wardrobe.
With the NS Skin Layer Superleger Base Layer, you have a super-quick wicking later that fits smoothly under your race jersey or for use as your only upper body layer for the sweat and intensity of indoor training and racing. With the functional mesh textile offering active cooling, odour control, and rapid-wicking properties it's ideal for summer’s extreme heat. The fit of the Superléger is specifically tailored to work with your most aerodynamic jerseys, ensuring it's as unobtrusive as possible. The Circular Seamless tubular knit technology gives a smooth, second-skin fit that's free of areas of irritation while also offering light compression for extra comfort. The sleeveless design removes unnecessary bulk too (and incidentally ensures the Push Pull aerodynamic sleeves of Assos summer cycling jerseys work optimally too).

The Superléger Short Sleeve Cycling Base Layer has its focus on two specific areas of cycling. Firstly, it's created for the specific demands of indoor training and racing. Worn as your only top layer during indoor training, it optimises moisture-wicking performance, ventilation and breathability, keeping you cooler as you generate increased levels of body heat and sweat. The body-mapped design makes use of two types of open mesh, promoting both airflow and moisture management. You'll also find the second area in which it excels is the hottest days of outdoor cycling. Paired with the lightest race jersey in your kit drawer, the blend of polypropylene yarns have been carefully engineered to offer extra moisture control and a lightly compressive fit for added comfort as the mercury rises. When it comes to fit, the Superléger uses Circular Seamless tubular knit technology to give a smooth, second-skin fit that's free of areas of irritation. Set-in sleeves are also used to allow for the optimal movement level, whether your main layer or under a cycling jersey.
Summer Starts Here Creating that perfect summer weight base layer is harder than it sounds. Castelli have intentionally kept this base layer as minimalist as possible to let the open mesh fabric pull the moisture off the skin. The secret to this base layer comes in the fabric that is highly stretchy but without using Lycra® that tends to hold in the moisture. You stay drier and cooler, thus perform better when the heat rises.

The Core Seamless Long Sleeve Base Layer slips under your cold-weather cycling kit to provide both extra insulation and to ensure sweat isn’t left on the skin to chill you down. With moisture quickly wicked away, you’ll enjoy more warmth and less clamminess. Meanwhile, the seamless construction boosts comfort and the wider neck makes it good even for shorter-collared long-sleeved racing jerseys, ideal for your early season racing and training.
