Base layers are thought to be for keeping warm. When you’re heading out on a ride and a single layer isn’t enough, whether it be a jacket or jersey, you put on a base layer for a little extra warmth. So then why do you see pros wearing a base layer under their short sleeve jerseys during the hot summer months? It turns out base layers do more than keep you warm.

Staying cool on hot days is not just about comfort, it also has a great effect on your cycling performance. Overheating can cause a significant decrease in output and endurance.
