Cycling base layers

Cycling base layers full of smart technology

Our cycling base layers are far more than thermal underclothes. They certainly help to keep your core temperature up in cold riding conditions, but they offer far more than that. They’re made from moisture-wicking fabrics, to promote sweat dispersal and make sure you don’t feel hot and stuffy. With a seamless design that you’ll scarcely feel, they’re made from a combination of genuine merino wool, advanced polyamide and stretchy elastane, to impart a body-hugging effect. Strategically placed ventilation zones provide a high level of breathability, too.

Lightweight, comfortable base layers for cycling

Our base layers for cycling are so lightweight and adaptable that you can wear them in a variety of conditions. We have full-sleeve base layers that go well with cycling tights, to give you all-round insulation in cold weather. When it’s not as cold, you can wear a short-sleeve or sleeveless singlet-style base layer. Our cycling base layers all help to keep your body temperature as stable as possible, releasing heat when you’re really pushing it and warming you up when you’re just starting your ride.

Make the most of your base layers

Our base layers are designed to be worn underneath your other cycling clothes, so why not pick up some other gear while you’re here? You’ll find cycling shorts and T-shirts, jumpers and jackets, all engineered for top-level competition yet suitable for casual riders, too. You can wear adidas base layers for other training or sports as well – they’re not confined to cycling use. They’re easy to look after, requiring nothing more than a cold machine wash on a delicate cycle with a mild detergent.
