Base Layers...
I mean seriously who would have thought base layers would be vary so much in price... £90 seriously at that price i'd want it to have some kind of Marvels Iron Man technology?? what can it possible do that makes it worth that much. Features I need from a base layer, warmth and wick sweat, this is going to be a really quick blog post, I can tell. The brands of base layer I own.
There certainly are others I could try, and non of the above are Merino which I believe has some odour related benefits, but from now on, really all will buy are the B'Twin 500, at nearly a 1/4 of the price of the Sportful base layer I'm actually warmer in this one, and I don't notice any downsides of sweat in the colder months. If you want a little extra warmth the 900 is also a good purchase, but for winter riding in Manchester through the winter I'm happy with the 500 version and saving a tenner. Important to note though as soon as the weather gets warm enough I don't wear a base layer at all, so it may be that the base layers do perform better at keepig you cool in the summer but as far as winter goes.
