Super fine merino cycling base layer
The latest edition to the Rapha base layer range is made from an even lighter, finer merino than Rapha’s regular base layers. Ideal for spring and summer riding, the yarn of the V-neck is beautiful to the touch and transfers moisture away from the skin superbly. The base layer's V-cut neck makes it ideal to be worn with buttoned shirts for a smarter appearance, perfect for the city bike rider.
Merino wool is naturally anti-bacterial, odour resistant and itch free. The V-Neck Base Layer has flatlock stitching so the seams won’t chafe and the seams are positioned behind the shoulders to avoid bag straps rubbing while cycling. The base layer is close fitting and cut longer at the back for a better fit on the bike.

NB: Unfortunately, due to its fine merino construction, the V-Neck Base Layer is unable to be repaired by our Repair Service

Sizing
Customers may wish to drop down a size to their regular jersey fit as the merino has good stretch and base layers work most effectively when a snug fit.
