Women's Cycling Base Layers.

The right base layer is the secret to staying comfortable on the bike. It moves sweat away from your skin, so you don’t get chilly on the descent or clammy on the climb. Here’s how to pick yours.

Mesh base layers. Our sleeveless Ibex Bodyline and mesh base layers are super lightweight and fast wicking. Wear them under a short sleeve jersey when the heat is on, or as your first layer under thermal kit in winter.

Thermal base layers. The Kiko Bodyline long sleeve base layer has a soft brushed lining to keep you cosy when the mercury drops. Pair it with a long sleeve jersey on chilly days or a winter jacket when it’s properly cold.

Fit. A base layer works best close to the skin with no bunching under your jersey. Ours are cut close but comfortable, so they sit neatly under your kit.

Build your layers with women’s long sleeve cycling jerseys and women’s winter cycling jackets, or see our winter cycling gear guide for what to wear at every temperature.
