Base layers are cool. And I mean literally. That’s why I never ride my gravel bike without my base layer anymore – one by Castelli, which has become an absolute favourite of mine in recent weeks.

I like products and I like liking products. Especially when they bowl me over – with their technology, for instance. That’s how they become my favourite products. The base layer by Castelli is one of the latest examples. Check out the header video to find out more. For English subtitles, click the gear icon, «Subtitles/CC» and «Auto-translate».

At the beginning of summer, I was on my bike when I had a kind of epiphany: base layers are cool. Literally. I’d heard a lot about them, read about them and watched videos on the subject. And always thought: that doesn’t make any sense. A T-shirt underneath would just make me sweat even more in the summer. Well, I was wrong. It’s exactly the opposite. If the base layer sits close to your skin under your cycling shirt, it wicks moisture away, improving comfort immensely. Here’s my article with more Castelli product tips for your summer bike rides.
