Is the 2nd Skin Base Layer suitable for year-round riding?

Yes, it works across seasons - lightweight and breathable enough for summer, while offering a warm base layer when paired with winter gear.

Will it feel restrictive under a jacket?

Not at all. The 4-way stretch allow full freedom of movement, even when layered under snug riding jackets.

How do I wash and care for it?

Just hand wash with mild detergent in cold water and air dry. Avoid bleach, ironing, or tumble drying to preserve the fabric’s stretch and moisture-wicking performance.

Does it help with temperature regulation and sweat control?

Absolutely. The moisture-wicking knit pulls sweat away from the skin, helping regulate body temperature and keeping you dry on long rides.

Will it loosen or lose shape over time?

Not if cared for properly. The fabric is engineered for stretch recovery, meaning it returns to shape after every wear and wash.

Polygiene Treated for odor & bacteria control

Uses a special ODOR CRUNCH Swedish technology that works as a natural anti-odor treatment by capturing, ‘crunching,’ and permanently removing odors using natural silica particles, the primary component of common sand.

This keeps clothing and fabrics smelling fresher for longer and reduces the amount of washing required.

Moisture Wicking for sweat absorption

The moisture-wicking fabric used in the base layers is specifically designed to pull sweat away from the skin and move it to the surface of the fabric, where it can evaporate quickly. This helps to keep your skin dry and comfortable, preventing the buildup of sweat and odors - even during long and intense rides.

4 way stretch to maximize flexibility

The 4-way stretch fabric allows for maximum flexibility and movement, so you can wear the base layers comfortably under the riding jacker/ pants during long rides. The breathable fabric also allows for air to circulate, keeping you cool and comfortable.

Flat lock seams for added strength & durability

Flatlock seams are created by overlapping two pieces of fabric and then sewing them together, which results in a strong, durable and comfortable seam that lies flat against the skin. This construction method makes the ViaTerra 2nd skin base layers more comfortable to wear, as there are no raised or irritating seams against the skin. Additionally, flatlock seams also reduce stress along the seams, which helps to prevent the base layers from stretching out of shape or becoming damaged over time, making it more durable.

Comfort piping to reduce chafing on the skin

The 2nd Skin Base Layers from ViaTerra are constructed with soft piping on all seams, which provides added comfort during long days in the saddle. This means that the edges of the seams have a soft material applied to them, which reduces irritation and chafing on the skin, making it more comfortable for the rider to wear for extended periods of time.

Material & Construction

Crafted from ultra-light, breathable stretch fabric, the 2nd Skin Base Layer Top offers a smooth, next-to-skin feel ideal for hot and humid conditions. The four-way stretch construction moves with your body and dries quickly after washes or sweaty rides.

Odour control

The hydrophobic yarns wick away sweat as soon as it forms, keeping you dry and comfortable through long rides. Treated with Polygiene anti-odour tech, it prevents bacterial build-up and stays fresher for longer - ideal for multi-day trips or everyday commutes.

Comfort & Fit

With a pre-shaped cut, the top hugs close without clinging. Flat-lock seams and soft piping prevent irritation on pressure points, offering long-wear comfort even if layered under mesh or touring jackets.

Quick dry

Engineered for Indian summers, the moisture-wicking fabric actively pulls sweat away and promotes airflow. No clingy discomfort - just cool, dry performance across city runs, weekend getaways, or long hauls.

Wash, care and storage

Wash separately in cold water before first use.
Always turn the base layer inside out before washing to protect the outer fabric and stitching.
Hand wash with mild, pH-neutral detergent. Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, or stain removers.
If there are stains which you are not able to remove using a damp cloth, use a soft bristled brush soaked in a mild pH neutral soap and rinse off using cold water. Please note that using the brush could lead to piling which will not be covered under warranty.
Do not wring. Gently drip dry in a ventilated, shaded area - keep away from direct sunlight or heat.
Do not tumble dry, dry clean, or iron.
Store flat or folded in a cool, dry place. Avoid prolonged exposure to sun or heat sources.
Dry-cleaning or using a clothes dryers will void the warranty as this will damage the special coatings that the fabric has.

Things to Remember

The base layer is meant to fit close to the body - this ensures effective moisture-wicking and layering comfort under your riding jacket.
Give it a few wears to let the fabric naturally adapt to your body and riding posture. It gets more comfortable with use.
Always air it out/ clean it after each ride to prevent sweat buildup and odour.
Avoid storing it damp or in tightly packed spaces to preserve fabric stretch and breathability.
