The magic of innovation. 2 individual fabrics in a bonded fabric to simulate the efficiency of two individual layers.
The first layer (white) against the skin seamlessly wicks away perspiration, while the second layer of the material (black) retains body heat. The warmth and comfort of our winter cycling base layer WILL keep you snug and protected during those cool and freezing rides.
With its added Polygiene treatment, the fabric doesn’t just feel incredibly soft against your skin; it’s also designed to resist odour build-up. This means fewer washes and more wear. To further ensure warmth, it features a tall neck to shield you against the cold.
Key features:
- Odour resistant
- Superior moisture management
- Excellent thermoregulation
Fabric:
- 100% Polyester
Construction:
- Airmesh® mesh for optimal airflow
- Ergonomic fit tailored to move with your body

Used so far as a skiing base layer — Italy in February along with the Galibier Mylar gilet. Best compliment I can give is I stayed warm and didn’t notice I was wearing it. Great combination. Have yet to try it in the bike!

premiére couche aussi efficace que des produits beaucoup plus chers. Je sais c’est une reflexion qui revient souvent pour Galibier. Agréable à porter et très doux. Je remercie Galibier pour la surprise dans le colis. Je vous remercie également pour les efforts que vous faîtes pour maintenir des prix bas mal gré la sortie de l’ UE.

Cannot rate this highly enough. Wore it today for the first time and could not believe the level of comfort during a ride in fairly bad conditions. It is, all at the same time, the warmest, coolest, lightest, softest and most comfortable base layer i have worn. The higher collar is really great, i could not even feel it but did not feel any cold air around my neck. Will be buying several more

It’s a base layer, does exactly what it should, good warmth from the collar.

I got this base layer a couple of weeks ago and have to say it is now one of my favorite items of bike clothing. I was out on a club spin last weekend on a very cold morning. We encountered freezing fog,ice was crusting on our bikes and outer layers with temperatures hovering around minus 3 deg for most of the ride. Despite the harsh conditions, the chill never crept in past this base layer on a 3hr ride. I was wearing a club winter jersey and light gillet above. The high neck is a great feature on cold rides. I would recommend it highly.

I wore this, for the first time today, as my base layer on a ride where the outside temperature was -3. This was brilliant. I was nice and warm and, despite some hard efforts, this did a great job of wicking away sweat.
I’m 5′ 11″, waist 33″, chest 40″, weight 12 stone. I chose size Large and it’s a great fit.

totally brilliant! Wicks sweat and fits well ( I am generally a medium and this is true to size) the high neck works really well, this morning’s commute varied from 5 to 1 degree above freezing and with this base layer, a Galibier Roubaix jersey (also great) I was very well protected

Very nice autumn/winter base layer, it fits just great I am 187cm, 91kg and XL is just fine. I like that colar is high, so protects your neck and its perfectly snug. Like it very much, usually combine it with Mistral jacket or with vest, depending on the temperatures.

Excellent product. Works really well in low temps. Went under zero degrees and was warm and toasty.
Dermot O’Neill (verified owner) –
Seriously impressive performance especially in sub zero temperatures.

This is a very good investment. The best baselayer I’ve ridden in ever. Well designed with the high neck and the thin material keeps you snug. Moisture is wicked away and doesn’t leave the baselayer feeling damp next to skin.

This was purchased on a bit of a whim, but I now wont ride outside without it on. I guess as the weather warms up I’ll change my mind kn that but in the winter it’s an absolute must. I love the high neck. Really keeps the wind out. Perfect fit as usual from Galibier. Yet another awesome product

Further to my previous review bought another orange and a navy, as well as a short sleeved Galibier white base layer! Feel like I’ve discovered a personal bespoke cycling clothing merchant, and joined a special club.Keep up the good work and Ride Safe! Came very quickly in the post!

I already had the vest type of this base layer so I know these are excellent. As a base layer this version is even better. Love it.
I can’t recommend enough.

Worn today for the first time, probably the best piece of cycling clothing I’ve ever bought, worn with my Mistral Foul Weather jacket fantastic. I bought an Large orange shirt, I’m 12 st and 40 chest the fit is perfect!

Got on of these with a Mistral Foul Weather Jacket. Incredible combo, wore them in 6°C and it felt just right, could do also for lower temps. If you sweat a lot like me, regardless of the weather, maybe this combo is too much for 5-10°C and could be worn at lower temps. Overall impressed with the comfort and the softness of this base layer. Another cracking product by Galibier.

I’ve got this in Orange, size M perfect (not thight but true fit to me as i am muscular), and honestly after many many base layers i had this one is probably the best ever. Thin and light but incredibly and comfortably warm (no sweat). On Irish November mornings (maybe 8C) i have only this below long sleeve jersey and i am happy. As other Galibier products i have design, color and materials used with this are also high quality.

After a few rides in this I can honestly say it’s one of the best I’ve worn. Feels very comfortable and light, retains heat and wicks away any sweat. Bring on the cold weather.
