The products in the BASE LAYER line sit like a second skin and complement the GORE BIKE WEAR® and GORE RUNNING WEAR® skin-to-shell concept
For the cyclist and runner, the BASE LAYER products deliver an additional layer of comfort by ensuring the garment feels dry and comfortable against the skin. For the transitional phase and the winter, the BASE LAYER line has been extended to include six functional long-sleeved shirts for women and men, with and without a WINDSTOPPER® liner, for a wide variety of requirements. As usual, the design is simple and functional.
The secret lies in the material
Polypropylene forms the basis of all the products in the BASE LAYER line. It is the lightest fibre in the world, it feels comfortable against the skin and its antibacterial action helps to reduce the formation of body odour. Since it does not absorb moisture, it is immediately passed through to the layer worn above. The result is a completely dry BASE LAYER that helps to prevent the loss of body heat and lies comfortably against the skin.
Perfectly equipped for every climate
All BASE LAYER products are available in two different versions:
- The functional polypropylene underwear is ideally suited for use on wind free days.
- To help ensure your body does not cool down on windy and cold days, shirts with a windproof and breathable WINDSTOPPER® liner have also been introduced. It offers an extremely light and versatile combination of fast moisture removal and protection against wind chill.
The product specialists at GORE RUNNING WEAR® know what keen runners need. Warm and climate regulating functional underwear is vital, especially in the winter.
The new ESSENTIAL BASE LAYER Line for autumn/winter 11/12
- The ESSENTIAL Functional Shirt Long stands for an exact fit and reliable removal of moisture. Thanks to the fabric’s elasticated and softly brushed peach skin like texture, the Functional Shirt Long feels pleasant against the skin and offers a high degree of comfort.
- The ESSENTIAL Functional Turtleneck stores more heat because of its long sleeves and the attached high collar. The incorporated front zip with semi-lock slider makes the top easier to put on and take off and can if required be worn open necked.
- The ESSENTIAL Functional Thermo Shirt Long is ideal on very cold winter days. The polyproplyene is thicker than in the two other versions but still low weight and therefore creates the ideal heat and an insulating effect.
BASE LAYER products in the ESSENTIAL autumn/winter 2011/12 line will be available from August 2011 in selected specialist shops.
