A quality undershirt or base layer is an essential for anyone preparing for outdoor activities. Being in direct contact with the skin, this base layer wicks away moisture to help regulate body temperature, insulating from the cold on winter rides and cooling the body in summer.
The Merino wool fiber is one of the finest and thinnest fibers in existence and yet it has an amazing ability to regulate body heat. Through a process called heat absorption, the fabric absorbs moisture and retains heat when temperatures are cold. However, when it is hot, through evaporative cooling the wool releases moisture leaving you feeling fresh. It is precisely for these reasons that this type of wool is one of the most widely used fabrics in the manufacture of technical sports gear.
