Product Information
Full details
The Castelli Prosecco Tech SS Base Layer is an essential piece of cycling apparel designed for riders who need optimal moisture management during cool weather rides between 10 and 20 degrees Celsius. It serves as a high-performance foundation layer that keeps the skin dry through advanced hydrophilic treatments, though it requires a precise slim fit to function effectively against the skin.

FAQs
What is the recommended temperature range for this base layer?
This base layer is best suited for temperatures between 10 and 20 degrees Celsius.
Can I wear this over another shirt?
No, it must be worn in direct contact with the skin to effectively wick away moisture.
Why is there PrimaLoft at the waist and back?
PrimaLoft is used in these areas to provide better insulation where bibtight straps sit, preventing uneven heat distribution.
Will the Prosecco treatment wash out?
With proper care—avoiding fabric softeners and high heat—the hydrophilic treatment will remain effective for a long period of regular use.
Is this suitable for summer riding?
While it is breathable, it is specifically designed for cool conditions (10-20°C). For hotter weather, a dedicated summer mesh base layer would be more appropriate.
Troubleshooting
Base layer feels damp during the ride
Ensure the base layer is worn in direct contact with the skin; wearing another garment underneath will prevent the moisture-wicking technology from working.
Garment feels loose or bunches up under the jersey
Castelli products are designed for a pro-fit; ensure you are using the correct size, as the base layer must be tight against the skin to function as intended.
Feeling cold during rides
Verify that you are within the recommended 10-20°C temperature range and ensure your outer jersey is windproof if the ambient temperature is at the lower end of the spectrum.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best performance, this base layer must be worn in direct contact with the skin. It is compatible with all standard cycling jerseys and bib shorts.
Care Instructions:
- Machine wash in cold water on a delicate cycle.
- Do not use fabric softeners, as they can interfere with the hydrophilic treatment.
- Air dry in the shade to maintain the integrity of the technical fabrics.
- Avoid high-heat tumble drying to prevent shrinking or damage to the synthetic fibers.
