CraftMen's Cool Mesh Superlight Sleeveless Baselayer(Return to Product Page)

As per most reviews, the baselayer does run a little big. I am 6'1 208 and pretty big overall and there is some slack in the amount of fabric. Otherwise, the shirt does settle in and helps to wick sweat. Pretty decent quality shirt. I should have bought a few more. I will when they are on sale again.

Great product. Keeps you cooler in hot weather and surprisingly warm in cool mornings. I will buy more

I really like this layer. It keeps you nice and cool.

I was always skeptical about wearing more layers to stay cooler in the heat. But, I suspended that impression to give this a try. My conclusion It's still hotter when you wear more on hot days. Where this thing excels is when I do a mountain ride with significant altitude gain and rapid temperature change. It can start out hot and humid and turn cold and wet within a few miles. Having the additional layer in those conditions is welcome as it does help insulate the core. As far as the idea of a 'loft layer' that allows better air circulation between your skin and your jersey so that you stay cooler? I don't really think so. Get this and wear it if you're going on a long ride in changing conditions, especially if it's likely to cool down significantly over the course of your ride.

I wear it everyday in the hot Arizona climate. I believe that it helps cool me

Works great in the summer good job wicking away moisture. Very good job for providing warmth on cold days

Does keep the clammy feeling at bay. Unfortunately, the garment snags easily.

I wear a base layer on all but the hottest rides. This Craft base layer has big mesh holes for great heat and moisture transfer. I even wear this sleeveless one under a heavier long sleeve base layer in winter. It really does its job.

Just check the sizing, I ordered a large and sent it back for BTD's free exchange . A medium was a much better fit. I am 5'10 and 160 lbs. .

To keep warm on cool days and dry on warm days.

great product. Comfortable and cool

very helpfull on very hot days. makes for a dry ride on very hot days

I like to use this 70 to 84 degrees

Great mesh undershirt for hot weather rides.

The best hot weather undershirt I have found, regardless of price. I size down one size so that it fits like a second skin. The length is generous so I never feel like it's becoming untucked. I have many of these - mesh and non-mesh are both excellent depending on weather conditions.

If, like me, you aren't waiting for the "perfect" weather to ride you'll be surprised to find yourself ordering this 'base layer' again after using it on a 90-degree day. This base layer is a micro thin sweat wicking layer that allows your body to keep your core temperature lower. While it doesn't replace drinking massive amounts of fluid when the heat index is over a hundred degrees every little bit helps. I am 5'9' inches , 164 pounds and wear medium. My 5' 1"' wife who hikes a lot has two in size small. If you ride frequently having a second set is nice though I have hand washed mine and they dry almost instantly.

When the heat index is between 90-100 degrees you may not think of adding another layer until you try this base layer. Then you look for it each and every hot weather ride. This micro thin layer absorbs sweat and then the convection cooling that keeps your core temperature down is enhanced. I now have two of them even though they quickly dry after hand washing to get the salt off. I also bought them for my hiking wife. I am 5 feet nine inches tall and between 160 pounds. A medium size fits just

fine.

Very lightweight, buy a size down if you are use to a Euro race fit...I usually wear a size large in euro tops, xlarge in Castelli baselayers, but a medium fit the bill here...the fabric is so stretchy and comfortable I probably could have fit the small...We had a two week hot and humid streak here in NYC and this performed admirably in providing a cooling effect on the bike...I bought a white and black one on sale with what I think was a 30% discount...A Win Win all the way around...

I love this base layer. Haven't used it in the heat yet, but it's been in regular rotation for all but the coldest rides. Fit is good, if maybe on the big side. Size down if in doubt as it's very stretchy.

I've been using it as a base layer for cold riding under a castelli convertible gabba jacket/jersey. It works great! I'm comfortable through out the ride. It wicks very well and feels dry at the end of the ride. I am going to try it in the summer under a jersey, but I'm reluctant to believe that any base layer can be cooling.

I had never worn base layers except in cold weather, but after seeing many pros wear mesh base layers in hot weather, I decided to give this a try.

I wish I had tried these a long time ago. Using one under bibshorts is much more comfortable - no more chafing from the straps, cooler in hot weather (as long as you're not wearing a tight black jersey), and warmer in cool weather.

I now own several of these and they've survived many dozens of washes with no adverse effects.
