Why wear a short-sleeved cycling base layer?

When it's 0 to 5 degrees outside, it's wise to wear a short-sleeved cycling base layer. If the temperatures are even lower, then wear a long-sleeved cycling base layer to keep your body extra warm. You wear a cycling base layer under your regular cycling jersey. The base layer keeps your body dry and pleasantly warm while cycling. Of course, it's also a matter of personal preference. Some find it too warm quickly with a base layer on, while others swear by it. So, do what makes you feel comfortable.

What should a short-sleeved cycling base layer meet?

A good cycling base layer has no seams, is made of light material, such as polyamide or polyester, and stretches. Some shirts have a mesh insert at the armpits for even better ventilation. The base layer should also quickly wick away perspiration and keep your body warm and dry. For example, Craft's cycling base layers have Coolmax Air fibers. These fibers provide sufficient ventilation and moisture removal.
