Ensure your jersey or bib shorts are fully closed before putting on or removing the base layer to avoid pulling the delicate mesh fibers.
Feeling cold on fast descents

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your base layer, always wear it directly against the skin for maximum moisture wicking. Due to the delicate nature of the 3D mesh, it is highly recommended to hand wash the garment or use a delicate machine cycle with a mesh laundry bag. Avoid harsh detergents and bleach. Hang dry in a shaded, well-ventilated area, as the synthetic fibers are designed to dry rapidly and do not require tumble drying.
