A wearable shield against the ferocious winds of winter. This is the ultimate long sleeve base layer for challenging weather conditions.
Arrowind™ fabric technology creates a unique flexible protective barrier on the front of the base layer – blocking 80 percent of those bombarding air particles that create the wind chill effect, while staying as breathable as a leading warp knit base layer.
On the back panel, a super-stretchy wicking fabric ensures you have the freedom to move, and it will quickly transport any sweat build-up away from your skin. You can work up a sweat, safe in the knowledge that you will not also develop a chill.
Thanks to Polygiene® fabric treatment you also won't work up a stink! This is the base layer for your long winter rides.

Arrowind™ fabric technology creates a unique flexible protective barrier on the front of the base layer – blocking 80 percent of those bombarding air particles that create the wind chill effect, while staying as breathable as a leading warp knit base layer.
This base layer means you can leave your gilet or long sleeve windproof jacket at home; the Windbreaking technology will help to shield your torso from the effects of windchill.
What is a windbreaking base layer?
GripGrab’s range of Windbreaking base layers take the idea of windproof – that is, stopping the wind from reaching your skin – to another level. The Arrowind Windbreaking fabric is a warp knit construction that blocks up to 80% of windchill inducing air particles. However, the clever bit comes from the 20% that does get through: those air particles permeate the material, helping to dry perspiration and keep you comfortable.
When would I wear it?
The most obvious scenario for a Windbreaking base layer is when you are trying to strip back the bulk of your kit and reduce the number of total layers; for example, a Windbreaking base layer could allow you to leave your gilet or wind-resistant jacket at home and wear just a jersey, but still maintain a level of windchill protection on descents and cold morning starts.
