Castelli

Dolomite Long Sleeve Zip Neck Base Layer

When you think of wool, what comes to mind? Retro jerseys? Scratchy riding shorts? Wool has come a long way since single speed bikes ruled the races and the Castelli Dolomite Long Sleeve Zip Neck Base Layer seamlessly integrates the timeless qualities of wool with synthetic fabrics into the perfect cool weather base layer.

With all the synthetic wonder fabrics on the market, why would you wear something as simple as a wool blend? Well, wool is a naturally hydrophillic fiber. This means that it has the ability to hold as much as 30 percent of its weight in water before exuding a feeling of wetness. Additionally it's anti-microbial so that you won't stink after hours on the bike — no matter how much you sweat. The blend of polyester and elastane in the Dolomite keeps the base layer fitting close to the skin, which helps it wick moisture away from the skin. It was designed with a quarter-zip neck that can be adjusted to help regulate body temperature, and flat lock seam construction for comfort.

The Castelli Dolomite Long Sleeve Zip-neck Base Layer is available in sizes Small through XX-Large in the color Anthracite.
