Product details

La Passione SML Mesh Women's Base Layer: mesh base layer for summer

The La Passione SML Mesh Women's Base Layer is a women's short-sleeve base layer in highly breathable mesh, as comfortable as a second skin. Many women riders skip the base layer in summer, but that is a mistake: a technical first layer moves sweat away from the skin and spreads it onto the jersey, where it evaporates faster. The result is a drier, better thermoregulated body on the hottest rides.

Polypropylene and mesh structure

The mesh fabric is made of 45% polyester, 44% polypropylene, 7% polyamide and 4% elastane. Polypropylene is one of the most hydrophobic fibres used in sportswear: it absorbs almost no water and pushes sweat outwards. The mesh structure creates a thin layer of air between skin and jersey, which helps ventilation and reduces the feeling of wet fabric.

How to use it and how it should fit

The fit must be close, like a second skin: a first layer only works when it is in close contact with the body. It is worn under any summer cycling jersey and the light color does not show under light jerseys. To preserve its properties, wash at low temperatures without fabric softener.

Frequently asked questions

Why wear a base layer in summer?

A technical first layer moves sweat away from the skin and spreads it onto the jersey, where it evaporates faster: the body stays drier and better thermoregulated even when it is hot.

What does polypropylene do?

It is a very hydrophobic fibre: it absorbs almost no water and pushes sweat outwards. That is why it is one of the most widely used fibres in summer cycling base layers.

How should it fit?

Closely, like a second skin: a base layer only moves sweat when it is in close contact with the body. A loose base layer creates wrinkles and loses effectiveness.

How should I wash it?

At low temperatures and without fabric softener, which leaves a film on the fibres and reduces their ability to move sweat. Air dry, do not tumble dry.
