TDF Alpe D'Huez Baselayer - Men's

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I rely on this baselayer for tough climbs and warm days when breathability is key. It’s lightweight, dries quickly, and layers smoothly under a jersey without bunching. The longer cut helps it stay in place, and the stretch fabric keeps it comfortable in an aggressive riding position."

We start our biggest climbing days with the TDF Alpe D'Huez Baselayer as our first layer, setting the tone for comfort and performance from the outset. Santini channels the legacy of one of cycling’s most legendary ascents into a functional piece designed for sustained effort, heat, and elevation gain.

The sleeveless construction minimizes bulk and maximizes airflow, making it ideal for pairing with a performance jersey in warm conditions. Its high-stretch synthetic fabric conforms closely to the body, enhancing moisture transfer and allowing sweat to move away quickly for efficient evaporation. This helps regulate body temperature during prolonged climbs and high-output efforts.

An elongated cut ensures consistent coverage in the riding position, preventing the baselayer from riding up when we’re stretched out over the bars. Designed specifically for road cycling, it integrates seamlessly with modern kits, supporting comfort, breathability, and performance whether we’re tackling steep gradients or settling into long endurance rides.
