The baselayer underwear is made from Tactel, a very thin, elastic, high density microfibre, which is very pleasant to the touch. It is highly breathable, guaranteeing the maximum level of comfort in all climatic conditions, while giving a pleasant dry sensation on the skin.

Treatments and manufacturing systems applied to TACTEL:

SEAMLESS texture, without seems, offers a perfect wear ability and is close fitting on the skin.

RUCO-ICE is a permanent treatment that is able to increase the garment's breathability to over 30%, ensuring an incredibly fast wicking of sweat that allows the material to dry quickly during and after the sport activity.

DUAL MOISTURE MANAGEMENT is a treatment that is able to keep the body at the optimum temperature of 37C, in all climatic conditions (both extreme hot or cold) like a real thermo regulator. It also makes the garment softer and has antistatic properties.

SILVER PLUS is a treatment that eliminates bacteria preventing bad odours, even after several hours of intensive sports activity

I have worn this on long winter cycling rides and it's brilliant.

Very stretchy material, I'm a 37inch chest and small or medium are nice and tight and not at all restrictive like some compression baselayers. Very soft and lightweight, moisture management is excellent and keeps out the wind.
