Newboy Posted May 31, 2013 Share What base layers do you use and recommend? I start riding between 4 and 5 in the morning in Johannesburg. It is starting to get quite chilly lately. Ryan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJR Posted May 31, 2013 Share First Ascent polypropolene long sleeves. I've used them for about 2 years and they work very well, are comfortable and hard wearing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newboy Posted May 31, 2013 Share Endura Merino wool from CRC. I also believe in wool. Anybody ever tried DeFeet UnDWool? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capricorn Posted May 31, 2013 Share Sixs clothing. Thought it was gimmick till I tried it. Really good at keeping those windchills at bay despite you being soaked in sweat. Cover most of my needs, but additional outer layers of course provide additional protection against the elements. But when it comes to base, I swear by sixs.

Capricorn Posted June 1, 2013 Share Thanks, who stocks it in northern JHB? It is time to get the kit and eliminate all the excuses. liaise with ASG on thehub. They are the distributors, and will point out retailers local to your region, or check out their website.First hear what others have to say about their experiences. Mine's been limited to Sixs, but only because I had no reason to keep looking for another. there might be better offerings in terms of price and/or performance, so lets hear from those hubbers!

V12man Posted June 1, 2013 Share I have a few - the best by far is a Columbia Thermo something or other - R550 - looks a lot like a space blanket on the inside, but breathes really well. Pieta Stumpy and Li Mu Bai 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
