True to its name, the WindBreaking Base Layer keeps the cold off your chest on long descents or windy days, without the need for a vest for extra protection. The GripGrab Long Sleeve WindBreaking Thermal Base Layer uses Arrowind™ fabric technology to protect you from wind chills by creating a flexible protective barrier on the front torso and arms of the base layer. This unique warp-knit construction blocks 80% of cold-causing air particles, while remaining as breathable as any other warp-knit base layer.
WindBreaking fabric offers great breathability and temperature regulation longer than two-layer windproof fabrics; While most air fails to reach the skin, what little air does get through wicks away sweat to keep you dry and comfortable. A WindBreaking base layer is an excellent choice for those who often wear a vest over racing skin; to protect them from the freezing wind during long descents or exposed and windy roads. The wind-resistant base layer allows you to leave the vest at home and adopt a smarter, lighter outfit.
This base layer uses Polygiene® fabric treatment (biocide: silver chloride) to reduce the growth of odor-causing bacteria; this unique fabric treatment is completely safe to wear next to the skin, but should mean your base layer needs less frequent washing; better for the environment and for the product.
Leave the vest at home and adopt a more elegant and lighter outfit with this WindBreaking shield.
