Motorcycle Base Layers
Wearing the correct base layers is one of the most important things to do when you are motorcycling. Too often customers spend a lot of money on a decent suit and then ruin it by wearing a cotton T-shirt! Base layers need to be a proper breathable material so they help you regulate your body temperature. It is about keeping warm in winter, keeping cool in summer, allowing your body sweat to evaporate effectively and allowing your expensive suit to do its job properly. Even in winter sweat needs to escape to keep the body dry. And this is crucial because if you are wet on the inside, and the temperature drops further our bodies will lose heat 20 times faster through a wet environment than a dry one. The base layer is a building block in winter on top of which you need a technical mid layer.

Klim Zephyr Wind shirt in grey
Ive had an EDZ windproof layer for many 20 maybe years. I dont think they make them any more. It was losing a hem line. Got too tight for a bit Oooh, food! and then fit perfectly again right, time to lose some weight. It squashed down into a tennis ball - literally a split open tennis ball - and has been fantastic. However, ... The Cap keeps telling me how good this Klim thing is, and it has a full-length zip instead of just at the neck. It has a little stretch - to be fair, even more than the EDZ. Its tough and looks pretty good. Ive been using it for a month now and the EDZ is consigned to the Ill just tuck it in this box in case I even need it pile. Honestly though, if it ever came to that, Id buy another Zephyr. If you follow the layering approach, which I also highly recommend, this is the perfect windproof layer under an airy breathable jacket. Highly recommended!
Klim Maverick down jacket in stealth black
Perfect for chilly morning starts or any time when a quickly deployable warm layer is needed. Not just for motorcycling either, fishing trips have become a lot warmer with the Maverick. A key component of Klims layer system, it can be worn over or under the Zephyr windproof, offering degrees of warmth and wind protection. It looks good worn as casual clothing too.
Klim Zephyr Wind shirt in black
I can truly that this is an essential piece of kit for everyone no matter the gear you already have. I have worn this under both a Rukka Halversons jacket the difference something so thin makes is impressive. I was sceptical at first but the proof is in the wearing. I was also fortunate to get it when on sale which was great but Id have happily paid full price having tried it now. Ive also used it when not on the bike up in Newcastle for their trophy parade football fans will know what Im talking about out on the town moors where even the Geordies were saying it was cold but thankfully I decided to wear the Klim Zypher wind shirt under my jacket which worked a treat whilst still looking cool as a causal piece of clothing. Only thing is shouldnt bought a large instead of XL as it stretches nicely but all in all a 1010 from me.
