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.

Klim Zephyr Wind shirt in grey
I already owned one of these wind shirts in blue but it was too large for me these days - so I downsized to another one in this light grey colour. These wind shirts really do work and theyre so light that they fit under any jacket. Theyre also compact when youre not wearing them and so dont take up much luggage space. I find mine particularly useful when Im riding in a ventilated summer jacket and its a bit cooler in the early morning or later in the evening. The wind shirt is also smart enough to be worn off the bike without looking like Im a biker.
Klim Zephyr Wind shirt in black
Its the perfect wind blocker for those fresh mornings when using a mesh jacket, until the temps increase then it packs down really small put away in the top box. Like all Klim kit, its well made , fits nicely without any bulk, is superlight functions perfectly. My only gripe....it is expensive at full RRP but, I wouldnt be without it.

Purchased one of these before I went to the IOM TT and with the way the weather was this year Im pleased I did ! For such a thin jacket it offers amazing wind protection, both when wearing under bike jacket or as casual. If anything, could probably do with a couple of side pockets for when wearing casually, but overall Im very pleased with it.
