GiordanaCeramic Short-Sleeve Baselayer - Women's
Item # GIO007D
Ceramic Short-Sleeve Baselayer
As with virtually everything it produces in its Italian factory, Giordana engineers the Ceramic Short Sleeve Women's Base Layer with levels of tech we don't typically see anywhere else in the industry. It's got the usual base layer qualities—a four panel body that maintains a slim fit—but the material pushes it into a realm beyond what we'd expect. Well, beyond what we'd expect from any brand not bearing the Giordana centaur logo on its chest.
Giordana's penchant for going above and beyond manifests in the Resistex Bioceramic, which is a synthetic microfiber blend that's fused with mineral bio-ceramic crystals. Giordana claims these crystals actually reflect external heat while working to maintain body temperatures. The result is that the material actively works to maintain thermal homeostasis, keeping your body in its comfort zone whether the weather is hot or cold or somewhere pleasantly in between.
- A versatile cycling base layer for use in most conditions
- Material blend maintains body temperature in hot and cold
- Four panel construction reduces bulk with a slim fit

Living where I do - in Southern California - I never felt much of a need to wear base layers. I retired this year, which means my bike rides are going to be more in the morning, when the temperature is at its coldest, instead of in the afternoons. I did wear long-sleeve base layers on the coldest afternoons, but not too often because I would get too hot. So I started shopping for a short sleeve layer that might do the trick. I know some people will say I am a sissy for getting cold when the temperatures are in the fifties or sixties, but it's the truth. When I received my order, I put the base layer on the next morning. I could not believe how soft and comfortable the Ceramic happens to be! The fit is true to size. It feels like you are wearing nothing at all under the jersey, and I didn't get hot, sweaty, or cold wearing it! This is exactly what I had hoped it would be. I am now a believer in the recommendations that wearing a base layer makes the ride even better!

The Giordana Ceramic Long Sleeve Baselayer has been the perfect addition to my winter kit selection, allowing me to ride comfortably regardless of temperature. The fabric is *so soft* and wicks incredibly well. I live in the mountains and most of my rides are long climbs followed by long descents--this baselayer keeps me comfortable for both temperature ranges without getting too chilled on the way back down. I like the long sleeve version for 45 degrees and colder, but opt for the short sleeve on warmer rides. I've been pleasantly surprised at the versatility of temperature ranges for this baselayer--not limited to only super cold days. Sizing wise, I wear a medium in this baselayer. I'm 5'6" 145lbs, 29" waist. I wear a medium in Giordana bibs, Machines for Freedom, Assos bibs. A large in Giordana tops (I size up to better fit my chest).

Top Notch
This is a base layer you want to make a staple in your cycling wardrobe. It's great for a light layer in the winter and also summer. The technology of the fabric is really high quality.

This baselayer is incredibly soft. Which makes it so comfortable against my skin. That is my favorite part about it. The comfort of the fabric makes it easy to forget about on all day adventures. I've found it to work well on rides ranging from 30-60 degrees, with the correct layering. Baselayers are great for providing extra warmth, but also help your body regulate temperature on warmer days. I think they are a crucial, overlooked piece of your kit and this has become my go-to. Fit is true to other Giordana sizing.

I received this yesterday and wore it on my ride. It was 65F and it was too warm. I took it off it was damp but didnt make me feel wet just hot. I would reserve this for cooler days. The fabric is very soft and contours to body without being too tight. Sizing is true; I am 5'3 and 135 muscular build and it fits close to body but not skin tight. This is definitely a great addition to my collection.
