Rivelo's Ashdown base layer is a lightweight striped Merino/Polyester top that looks just as good off the bike as on it! Frankly we like it so much we're happy to wear it on its own.
It's ostensibly designed to be worn under a jersey on cooler days, or under more layers in outright colder weather.
The Ashdown is odour resistant and naturally moisture wicking, thanks to its 50% merino content, with raglan sleeves so bibs and bag straps won't rub.
- 140gm Merino/Polyester single jersey knit
- Soft & lightweight, suitable for a wide range of seasons
- Micro-stripe knitted pattern
- Dropped hem at rear, for extra warmth on the bike
- Flatlocked seams for comfort
- Ri embroidery at centre front neck
- No scratchy labels – care instructions are printed directly onto the inside of the garment
- Wicking, breathable & quick drying
- Versatile and multifunctional – can be worn on or off the bike
Fabric Composition:
- 50% Merino, 50% Polyester
Rivelo Size Guide
Rivelo are a UK firm making clothing that works well for 'average' (if there is such a thing!) UK cycling bodyshapes.
That said, it is primarily designed with a snug fit in mind, so if you prefer more room or are between sizes, go up rather than down. If you are still unsure, feel free to contact us.
