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.

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.


From radio journalist to product tester and storyteller, jogger to gravel bike novice and fitness enthusiast with barbells and dumbbells. I'm excited to see where the journey'll take me next.
