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.

Klim Maverick down jacket in asphalt / black
This massively expensive bit of kit has been on my radar for a long time...finally took the plunge...its very good indeed. Is it worth the price tag?...well it certainly does what it says on the tin, so...I choose to try to move on from smarting from the expenditure and revel in cosiness instead! I guess this is all a part of buying American goods at the present time...an activity I currently in all good faith cant help but question somewhat? But the Maverick is everything it is touted to be so...over to you....
Klim Zephyr Wind shirt in blue
Exactly as advertised, stops the wind beautifully and is stupendously light. Hardly feels like youre wearing it. Pairs fantastic with my Marrakesh jacket in anything below 65 degrees and can be folded into nothing at the bottom of a saddlebag.
Icebreaker mens merino 560 Realfleece Elemental II long sleeve zip jacket
The Icebreaker 560 seems too thin to be any good when you first see it, but appearances are very deceptive in this case. It really is very warm despite being non-bulky and light. Fits really well under a jacket, providing warmth without making the jacket any tighter. Its expensive but I recommend it anyway.
