There's an old adage for winter riding, and it's that sweat is death.
Think about it: you're working hard, the blood is moving, and you're
perspiring just as you would be in the summer. But when the temperatures
are at or near freezing, that moisture buildup turns icy and shocks the
system. The result? You're honestly running the risk of hypothermia.
It's kind of scary, but our Merino Long Sleeve Tech Layer provides an
efficient solution.
The science behind it is pretty simple. The base layer is comprised of a
blend of synthetic, hydrophobic VaporRize⢠fibers and Merino wool yarns
that are naturally hydrophilic, meaning that thye love pulling moisture
away from the skin. And when they do this, our blend of fibers
distributes it across a large surface area where it can be rapidly
evaporated. So when you think about it, no moisture buildup means that
you won't experience any clammy chills as a result of dramatic
temperature swings, and your skin, jersey, and jacket are going to
remain dry in order to leave you comfortable.
This material also comes with the added benefit in that Merino actually
insulates quite efficiently when it encounters moisture, so you'll
remain consistently and evenly warmâregardless of your level of effort.
Add to this a flawless long sleeve design and a construction that
seamlessly interfaces with a jacket or long sleeve jersey, and you have
your ticket to ride all winter long.
