Best base layer
This is an amazing base layer. Not only does it block the wind well, it's serves a great winter base layer for all conditions. Can use this and the Explorer Down Jacket in temps down in the 20s and that's it. The different fabrics, and the turtleneck make for great insulators.

Favorite piece of winter gear - Perfect Base Layer
This might be my favorite piece of Winter gear. It's perfectly designed and executed. From the thumb loops in the sleeves, the windproof front panel, the perfect blend of fabrics, to the "frogman face", this is the perfect winter base layer for when it's really cold.

Prepare yourself, winter is coming.
This is what’s saves you from the freezing winter cold. Ridden in -10°c and lower in Norway and this is the antidote. Plus for the wind protection in front. Combined with an extra mesh or merino layer and Pro Team Jacket does the trick. Worth every penny. Recommended.

Great Product!
This is a great piece of bike gear. I have worn my Windblocker on several occasions this fall and winter. Does indeed block the wind. Love built-in neck gator, which is easily adjustable. I wear with a merino base layer and then add jersey, jacket, etc. as needed.

Baselayer and versatile
I used this for some rides in the (fahrenheit) single digits but of crosswind and it gave me time to think. Like the neck gaiter and the thump holes are a game changer. My point is it's not to my liking for "deep" winter but more all around which it does well .

I love the design of this base layer.
There is a lot of attention paid to detail in this base layer, such as the reflective dots on the back of the neck, the thumb slots on the sleeves, and the placement of the wind barrier. The fabric is comfortable. I'd love to see this in white, as well!

Better than 2 layers
I have found I can comfortably ride in 0-5c with just the deep winter and one other layer. A real game changer for me having experienced feeling cold with three layers previously. I love the comfort and cosy feel. Highly recommend for the winter months.

The best piece of winter cycling gear
I think this would be the piece of cycling kit that I would keep if I could only keep one. It’s so nice to wear and the merino is comfortable through a wide range of temperatures but most importantly, it keeps you warm when it’s very cold. Top top top!

Superior Performance
This is outstanding with the windproof layer on the front and the turtleneck type collar that was great when I first started my ride until I warmed up. Overall it was super warm and comfortable without causing me to sweat too much. Highly recommend.

Great for very cold weather
This is extremely comfy to wear and keeps you very warm. I have not tested this in freezing temperatures yet but on a ride when the temp was around 5 degrees this top performed very well. If you are cycling in cold weather i would recommend it.

Like a harnas
A warm and comfortable wool layer combined with a sturdy windblokker. What more to expect to keep the warm in and cold out! Tried and tested and it does keep me snug through the wet and the cold. Great fit, although a bit longer hem would do.

Would recommend 10/10
Great warm winter baselayer. The neck buff and integrated wind blocker make all the difference. Great combination with the classic wool Rapha winter jersey. Yes money, but worth every penny + gaining a whole new - priceless - cycling season.

Nice and warm, a little loud though
It's super warm. The arms are nice and long, which is great for on the bike. I will say that the wind shield on the chest is loud when you're walking around. It sounds a little like wrapping paper crinkling. No noise while riding however.

Ultimate winter base layer
The key base layer, the neck eliminates an extra clothing item and the windblocker another. When you know the ride needs warmth and don't want fussy extra items, this is the one. The marino feels great after many uses and washes.

Deep winter base layer
Best winter base layer out there!! Keeps you nice and warm, the roll neck is great too as pulls right up when you're cold keeping your neck and face warm but also rolls down and out of the way with ease too. Highly recommend!!

Wonderful product.
Very happy with this. Have tested it at 2c with a simple jacket over top on a 75k 2:30hr Ride. Not issues and never cold. The base does a great job of blocked the cold in front and keeping the back warm without being soaked.

Absolute Game Changer
This one's a game changer, I've been using this through the winter in some minus temperatures and it has always kept me warm. Having the wind stop panel on the front makes such a difference to your core temperature.

Winter essential
This a minus degree centigrade essential, the wind protection on the chest is very appreciated even under a winter jersey, thumb loops help to keep everything in place and help with the cold air ingress - five stars

Scottish Weather
I bought this for winter cycling in Scotland. Got to say I have not been disappointed. Great fit very comfortable and certainly keeps the chest warm without overheating. The snood collar is an added bonus.

Perfect cold weather base!!
The front panel blocked the wind perfectly as I only wore a lightweight jersey over it. The build in snog was perfect, not too warm or tight. Even when I started to sweat it was warm, thanks to the merino

My favorite between layer
This is my absolute favorite in cold conditions, as it often is here in Sweden. The wind membran in the front and god breathing ability in the back makes you warm but not sweaty even below zero.

Excellent winter protection
This is a terrific winter base layer. It is warm and wind proof, the high collar provides excellent neck and face protection and the fit is good. I'm 180cm and took a medium, fits perfectly.

The answer
I ride road in Chicago in winter. This thing rocks. Ride at 11 degree F with just this and a fabric shell and I am not cold. Knocked two layers off my cold ride kit

No need for a Gilet
Since buying this base layer I haven’t had to wear a gilet over my jacket. Fit is perfect and the neck piece more comfortable than on the pro team winter base layer.

If it ain’t broke don’t fix it
Windblock is a good addition. Same thickness and fit as the old version. Hope it lasts longer on the cuffs which is the main reason I need to replace.

Toasty Warm
High collar plus the wind block front makes this my go-to for cold winter rides.
I wear it under my Rapha Classic Winter Jacket or Shadow jacket.

As advertised
The neck and thumb features are warm and surprisingly comfortable. The only thing that isn't perfect is that the back could be a tiny bit longer.

Best base layer you can buy
This has become my go-to base layer for the winter months, the wind block layer works well, and the fit and finish is worth the premium.
