The perfect base layer can help regulate your temperature on the bike, ensuring you keep comfortable wherever you’re riding. Keeping you cool in the heat and warm in the winter, our range of Base Layers wick sweat away in the summer, and insulate your core against cool air when the weather turns.
From Rapha’s pioneering merino fabric to the mesh Pro Team Base Layer, our Base Layers are made from a range of performance materials and have been tested to the extremes to ensure they provide the ultimate foundation for any outfit.
Sitting close to the skin for optimum comfort, Base Layers offer a ‘barely there’ feel that makes all the difference, so you can build up the layers without the bulk.
Whether you’re looking for insulation or temperature regulation, our range of Rapha Base Layers come in a variety of sleeve-lengths to suit all kinds of conditions, and selecting the correct cut is crucial to performance.
Sleeveless
On the hottest days you might want to wear less, but a lightweight and breathable layer will help keep you cool and dry in the heat. Designed to be worn under a jersey on hot days, or under several layers in cooler conditions, our sleeveless base layers offer exceptional levels of breathability and moisture transfer.

Long Sleeve base layers
For cooler to cold weather, long sleeve base layers can either act as an insulating foundation, or eliminate the need for a midlayer. Still sweat-wicking and odour-resistant, they play a key role in maintaining your temperature in cooler climates.
