Description
The best baselayers have low bulk, clean edges, and fabrics that deliver intended performance and comfort. With this Merino Long Sleeve Baselayer you get a properly executed garment with the best capabilities and knowledge that sustainability and the environment factored into the fibers and production of of the piece. The key to staying comfortable on cold days is staying dry. To create the proper functional performance for this garment, the Pearl Izumi design team used a construction method called plating to locate recycled polyester technical fibers next to skin on Pearl's responsibly sourced Merino wool, long-sleeve baselayer. By putting polyester next to the rider’s skin, it transports moisture away to the Merino layer where it can evaporate even as the wool acts as insulation. The base layer uses a set-in sleeve design for a versatile form-following fit to make layering easy.
