Giro Men’s Long-Sleeve Base Layers Chrono Long-Sleeve Baselayer – Men’s

To an outsider looking in, cycling baselayers probably look reassuringly the same. We wouldn’t blame most cyclists themselves for thinking similarly, really. Always white or grey, these feathery knit underlayers come in a range of sleeve lengths and styles, and often look puzzlingly alike. While some especially light sleeveless baselayers, made primarily of mesh, are best for the summer months, options like the Giro Men’s Chrono Long-Sleeve Baselayer make their affinity for brisk, grey days a little clearer.

Still made with an airy blend of polyester and nylon, the Chrono features a heavier knit than its popular sibling, the Chrono SL. If you’re hoping to extend your season further into the winter this year or just want more insulation for the days you’re already riding, the Chrono makes a wise choice. Its fibers are still extremely efficient at pulling moisture away from your skin, so you won’t have to suffer a breathability penalty to gain a little extra warmth, and its form-fitting cut follows your every movement in the saddle to regulate your temperature as much as possible in the cold.
