Giordana Heavyweight Knitted Long Sleeve Base Layer
Giordana Heavyweight Knitted Long Sleeve Base Layer Info
The Giordana Heavyweight Knitted Long Sleeve Base Layer is a winter base layer that Giordana describes as high performance warmth for the coldest rides of the year. It is meant for training or racing in wintry conditions and comes in black.
The fabric is made from Dryarn, a high-performance fiber that Giordana describes as lightweight, insulating and breathable. It is engineered to trap air and hold warmth without losing quick-drying, fast-wicking behavior, so sweat should not stay with you once you ease off. The composition is 95% polyamide and 5% elastane.
The knit itself uses a varied density construction. Because it is knitted in a tube, it conforms to the body like a second skin, and Giordana designed it to fit close so the fabric can help regulate body temperature. During high-tempo efforts, the varied density areas work to move moisture away from the skin where it can evaporate, which is meant to keep you dry and comfortable. Light elastic at the cuffs and waist holds the layer in place. It is made in Italy.
Sizing
Sizes are unisex and come in pairs: XS/S, M/L, XL/2XL and 3XL/4XL. The tubular knit has a lot of stretch. Giordana suggests that if you are between sizes, you might size down one size from your usual jersey size, for men and for women alike. For reference, Giordana lists a 6'2", 175 lb model wearing M/L and a 5'9" model with a 26" waist and 36" hips wearing XS/S. Care is simple: hang or lay flat to dry, and do not tumble dry.
