Giordana Ceramic Long Sleeve Base Layer Info

The Giordana Ceramic Long Sleeve Base Layer is a cycling base layer built from Resistex Bioceramic, a nylon, spandex and polyester microfiber bonded to mineral bio-ceramic crystals. Giordana describes it as a true all-season base layer, meant to be worn in summer heat and winter cold.

What the ceramic is meant to do

According to Giordana, the Bioceramic emits Far Infrared Rays, an invisible part of the light spectrum, and that is where the fabric's benefits come from. In summer, the brand says the fabric reflects the sun's heat and lowers the surface temperature of the cloth. In winter, Giordana says the same material insulates well enough to keep body temperature steady in cold conditions. Giordana also claims beneficial effects on circulation and well-being. These are the manufacturer's claims, and we pass them along as such.

Fit and sizing

The base layer is constructed from four panels that contour to the body, and the spandex in the blend makes it form-fitting. Giordana designed it to fit close so the fabric stays in contact with the skin. It is based on men's sizing, so the brand recommends women order one size down.

It comes in grey, sizes XS through 3XL, and is made in Italy.

The RA Perspective

A base layer that Giordana wants you to wear in July and in January is an interesting idea, and the Ceramic is the version of it the brand has built around Resistex Bioceramic. The pitch is that the ceramic crystals bonded into the fabric reflect heat in summer and hold warmth in winter.

We would be careful about how much you expect from that. Those are Giordana's claims about the fabric, and a base layer still works within the usual limits. It is a thin layer, so it will not replace a proper thermal jersey on a cold day, and it will not turn a hot afternoon into a cool one. What it does give you is a close, four-panel fit with spandex stretch, which is what a base layer needs to sit well under a jersey without bunching.

The sizing note is worth reading before you order. This piece is built to men's sizing, and Giordana suggests women go one size down. A base layer is meant to fit snugly, so if you land between sizes it makes sense to think about whether you want it to layer under something heavy.

We see this as a useful, versatile piece for riders who want one long-sleeve base layer that works across most of the year, rather than separate summer and winter options.
