Cycling base layers

Functional cycling base layers for men and women

Functional cycling base layers worn directly on the body form the base layer for road cyclists, mountain bikers and sporty touring cyclists. They consist of cycling pants and a cycling top, such as a tank top, cycling shirt or cycling vest.

Cycling base layers are, to the same extent as sports base layers and functional base layers, specially developed for men and women to guarantee an individually anatomical fit and enable a perfect wearing sensation while cycling. Breathability and stretch are particularly important for comfortable cycling bottoms and cycling tops.

Cycling bottoms with integrated seat pads

High-quality cycling shorts from Endura, Gonso, Löffler or Maloja are equipped with special foam pads that are firmly sewn to the cycling bottoms. Thanks to the soft and partly antimicrobial padding, cyclists can always be comfortable in the saddle, because the padding absorbs a large part of the shocks, impacts and vibrations that affect the cyclist. In this way, cycling underpants prevent pain, sore spots and premature signs of fatigue when riding a road bike or mountain bike.

Underpants for male and female cyclists are slim-fitting and fit comfortably, like a second skin. Elastic materials, flat seams and ergonomically optimised design ensure maximum comfort and athletic performance when training and touring with racing bikes, touring bikes and mountain bikes. Cyclists with e-bikes and pedelecs also benefit from the more comfortable feeling when wearing padded cycling pants.

Breathable cycling tops for women and men

Thanks to fast-drying functional fabric, cycling tops ensure that moisture is quickly transported away from the body. They are usually slim-fitting and are sometimes complemented by mesh inserts and mesh fabric. In combination with cycling jerseys and cycling jackets, they form an efficient outfit for athletic training sessions and cycling tours.

Cycling tops are either cut with short sleeves as a cycling T-shirt or sleeveless as a tank top. For women, there are also sporty tops with narrow and wide straps, as well as functional sports bras for cyclists. Cycling tops, worn as base layers directly on the skin, form the best basis for a functioning layering system with different layers of functional cycling clothing.
