Troubleshooting
Base layer feels damp after a short ride.
Ensure the base layer is the first layer against your skin. If wearing a non-breathable outer layer, it can trap moisture. For best results, pair with a highly breathable cycling jersey.
Chafing occurs during longer rides.
While designed with reduced seams, ensure the fit is correct – not too tight or too loose. Check that any outer layers are also free of irritating seams in critical areas.
Base layer feels too warm.
This base layer is optimized for hot conditions. For cooler weather, consider a base layer with more insulation or a different fabric composition. It is not designed for warmth.
