Functions of a base layer
During your intensive training sessions, your body produces heat and perspiration. If you do not wear a suitable base layer, moisture management will be very difficult, preventing the regulation of your body temperature, leaving you wearing heavy, cold clothes, which feel very unpleasant. This cycling base layer ensures very good ventilation and lightness with a second-skin fit.
Care tips
Machine wash at 30°C. Synthetic programme. Turn the garment inside out. Use minimal laundry detergent. Do not add softener. Line dry in a warm, ventilated area. Do not tumble dry. Do not dry clean. Do not bleach. Do not place on a heater to dry.
Product tests
Our team of product designers based at the B'Twin Village in Lille is continuously working to make cycling more comfortable for our users. Our obsession is to create products that meet the specific cycling needs of our users and eliminate hindrances to a good cycling experience.
We then test our products in the field, as we are convinced that only by subjecting them to real world conditions, like the ones you experience on your bike, can we continuously improve our products.
A rating to compare products' environmental impact
A product's environmental impact is calculated for its entire life cycle using various indicators.
Products are then given an ABCDE rating to help you easily identify products having the best environmental performance (lowest impact) by comparing different products of the same type (T-shirts, bottoms, backpacks, etc.).
Decathlon voluntarily chooses to display the environmental ratings of its products.
