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.

Moto Skiveez Adventure in black

Michael K: Cushty

My backside was killing me after an hour in the saddle, tried one of those Butt pads from the States,a decent improvement but the pain re-emerged ,i was quite reluctant about this purchase, should not have been, got rid of the Butt pad and just use these instead,i see some on here are not impressed thats fair enough, me i find them very effective, recommended

Klim Maverick down jacket in castlerock grey

Michael K: Pricey quality

Often id use a Berghaus fleece under my jacket and thought ok youre on a motorbike in winter youre going to feel a bit chilly, spotted this and thought id give it a go,night and day ,it really made a difference ,one of those purchases you think nah too expensive, not worth it,its worth it.

Klim Zephyr Wind shirt in black

Damian Moore: Klim Zephyr

Crazily effective. As per others, very thin so can be easily packed away. Just used it doing the Wild Atlantic Way under my Marrakesh and worked a treat. Great piece of kit. Can highly recommend.
