The VeloVixen Sleeveless Mesh Base Layer in our Neon Splat design is an extra layer that you may not truly appreciate until you've tried it. Made from a AirMesh fabric, our VeloVixen women's cycling sleeveless base layer provides just the right amount of ventilation and insulation to regulate your temperature and keep you comfortable, depending on conditions.
Wearing a base layer under a cycling jersey can really improve your comfort and performance on the bike. Sometimes, your jersey needs a little helping hand to ensure your ride is the best it can be, so you feel dry for longer.
Designed in conjunction with our friends at Stolen Goat, these base layers work amazingly well across a variety of conditions. With a lightweight construction that is super breathable, fast wicking, fast drying and has 4-way stretch, this is a garment you won't ever want to take off.
It's nice and light under a jersey, so won't feel bulky and reduced shoulder seaming offers extra comfort. Wear it in summer paired with our popular jerseys or layer up further in winter. They also work great on their own as an indoor training top!
- Lightweight - reinforced lightweight mesh fabric improves breathability, airflow and stretch, whilst keeping its shape and look in any conditions.
- 4-way stretch - to wrap the shape of your body perfectly.
- Taped neck and armholes - for additional durability.
- Fast wicking and drying - drawing moisture away from the body to help you feel fresh and, like Goldilocks' porridge, neither too hot nor too cold.
- Sleeveless - making this base layer compatible with any over layer, including all jerseys and jackets.

One size fits all.
Since we launched in 2012, just after the London Olympics, VeloVixen has become a byword for hand chosen gear that's been designed entirely for the female rider. And, we're often told, the benchmark for friendly, approachable, knowledgable customer service.
That's before you mention our broader commitment to the sport through our regular event appearances, popular blog and Facebook chat group, Strava group, open days and so much more.
We're still a proudly family-run small UK business based just outside Oxford, committed to offering what passionate, capable people like you actually want!
When it comes to putting our name on our own products, we need to be 100% convinced that we're offering something special. Once our original padded cycling knickers had proved themselves over the years we decided it was time to take things to another level - and that's when the full VeloVixen range that take such pride in was born.
We aim to dispatch all orders within 2-3 working days, often sooner. Within the UK we use Royal Mail's Tracked service - you will receive a tracking code with your order once it is shipped.
Next Day Delivery (guaranteed by 12pm with Royal Mail) is available on some products when ordered before 1pm. This option will be shown next to the specific product when available.
If your particular size is not shown, feel free to contact us by email at contact@velovixen.com. Please note some deliveries may take longer if we need to order a product in.

Note for custom products: dispatch of pre-ordered, custom products will take place as soon as they arrive with us from the factory. They cannot be returned or exchanged.
