CASTELLI Team Sky Flanders Long Sleeve Base LayerConquer the coldest training days and redefine your winter riding experience with the CASTELLI Team Sky Flanders Long Sleeve Base Layer. Engineered for uncompromising warmth and pro-level performance, this thermal garment is the foundational piece every serious cyclist needs to combat frigid conditions. Born from an intensive focus group with Team Sky´s elite riders, this base layer is meticulously designed to provide maximum insulation and comfort when the temperature plummets.The standout innovation of the Flanders Base Layer is its intelligently integrated high neck. This isn´t just a collar, it´s a versatile solution for adaptable warmth. On merely cold days, the neck sits comfortably down, filling the space inside your jacket´s collar to prevent drafts and maintain core temperature. When facing brutally cold and windy conditions, the higher-than-normal neck can be pulled up over your chin, nose, and mouth to act as a built-in neck warmer. This feature, enhanced with a double layer of SottoZero fleece fabric, provides an exceptional barrier against the biting wind, keeping your face and neck protected without the need for an extra accessory.Engineered for maximum warmth, this base layer utilizes the exceptional SottoZero multi-denier 100% polyester fleece fabric. This advanced synthetic material is designed to trap a significant layer of warm air next to your skin, creating a powerful insulating barrier against the cold. Despite its impressive thermal properties, the fabric remains surprisingly lightweight, ensuring you feel protected without being weighed down. The T-Shirts style cut provides a close-to-body fit that is essential for effective moisture wicking and thermal regulation, ensuring you stay dry and comfortable from the inside out.While warmth is paramount, Castelli understands the importance of moisture management, even on the coldest rides. To prevent overheating and the chilling effect of trapped sweat, this long sleeve base layer features strategically placed mesh inserts under the arms. This allows for crucial ventilation in a high-perspiration zone, enhancing breathability and helping to regulate your body temperature as your effort level changes. The construction features smooth flat-lock stitching throughout, which lies completely flat against your skin to eliminate any possibility of chafing or irritation, even during long hours in the saddle. The inherent stretch of the fabric ensures the garment moves with you, offering unrestricted freedom of movement and a perfect, second-skin feel without a zipper to add bulk.Key Attributes:* High neck* Long sleeve* Men* Stretch* Synthetic* T-Shirts* Thermal* Without zipperFeatures:* SottoZero multi-denier 100% polyester fleece fabric* Flat-lock stitching for chafe-free comfort* Mesh armpit insert for enhanced breathability* Higher than normal neck can be pulled up to act as a neck warmerTechnical Specifications:* Weight: 184g (Size
