Motorcycle Base Layers

Wearing the correct base layers is one of the most important things to do when you are motorcycling. Too often customers spend a lot of money on a decent suit and then ruin it by wearing a cotton T-shirt!

Base layers need to be a proper breathable material so they help you regulate your body temperature.  It is about keeping warm in winter, keeping cool in summer, allowing your body sweat to evaporate effectively and allowing your expensive suit to do its job properly. Even in winter sweat needs to escape to keep the body dry. And this is crucial because if you are wet on the inside, and the temperature drops further our bodies will lose heat 20 times faster through a wet environment than a dry one. The base layer is a building block in winter on top of which you need a technical mid layer.

We stock base layers from motorcycling brands like Halvarssons, Rukka and Klim but also specialist merino layers from Icebreaker.

Verified customer reviews for Motorcycle Base Layers

Rukka Outlast T-shirt in black

Nick: Nice

I have a number of these which I wear every time I ride, Summer or Winter, must be the Outlast that provide even temperature control against the skin, they wash well also.

Klim Maverick down jacket in insignia blue

Jonathan Hepworth: Just the job

Ive been prevaricating as to whether to splash out on a Maverick or not. In the end I finally bit the bullet and have only one regret...I should have bought one sooner! Super comfortable, complements thr Klom Marrakesh perfectly. So muc better than the Rukka down jacket, which is warm but relatively bulky by comparison.

Klim Zephyr Wind shirt in blue

Richard: Works as intended

Obviously you can buy a cheaper to do a similar job but for me its well worth paying the extra for the quality feel and fit. Sizing is not far out for me but will depend on wether you want to wear over or under and slightly larger you can do both.
