Troubleshooting
Base layer feels slightly bunchy under shorts
Ensure the flat hem is properly tucked and smoothed out before pulling up your cycling bib shorts to secure the fabric in place.
Fabric snagging
The 3D mesh is delicate; avoid contact with abrasive surfaces like hook-and-loop fasteners on other garments or gear.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Extremely lightweight and breathable
- Effective moisture management in warm conditions
- Low-profile hem design prevents bunching

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best performance, ensure you select your correct size to maintain a close-to-body fit. The base layer is compatible with all standard cycling kits. To maintain the integrity of the specialized 3D mesh fabric, machine wash on a delicate cycle using mild detergent. Always air dry the garment; avoid tumble drying, as the high heat can damage the delicate mesh fibers and reduce the lifespan of the material.
