You’re about to head out on your ride when you notice it’s a bit chilly outside, but no need to panic since you’re wearing a cozy cycling base layer top. Whether you’re riding in snow or fair weather, you’re better off wearing a base layer top for the much-needed protection against the elements. Whether you’re going for a coffee cruise around the block or a solid full day of riding in the mountains, you’ll want to make sure you’re well suited for the job. Being well prepared makes your rides much more enjoyable, making every ride one to look forward to no matter the weather that lays in your path. It’s important to keep your core warm while riding in cold weather, which base layer tops are specifically designed to excel in.

At Jenson USA we carry a wide array of high-quality brands to choose from, such as: Castelli, Sugoi, Pearl Izumi, craft and many more! From those brands you’ll have options in materials and sleeve length to make it easier to find the right base layer that suits your needs. Short sleeve cycling base layer tops give you more flexibility on the bike as well as well as being the ideal choice for fair weather riding where temperatures are starting to get into the cooler range, but just not quite cold enough to layer up. Long sleeve base layers are made for the colder days in which you need to decide between it or riding in the brink of hypothermia (which we strongly advise against). Base layer tops also feature amazing moisture wicking properties and superior ventilation that help you stay dry and cool while you’re out braving the elements. Don’t let the cold catch you by surprise on your ride, so best wear a base layer top to keep you nice and comfortable.
