- High natural wicking properties.
- Very breathable.
- Great at regulating temperature. Will even keep you warm when wet.
- Easy to wash out any bacteria (as opposed to the synthetic competition. Tip, ride upwind of anyone wearing one).
- It feels so nice against the skin, you'll find yourself wearing it even when you're not on the bike.
We're big fans. So we're chuffed that Endura saw fit to hugely expand their Merino wool cycling gear range this year. From the simple long sleeve and short sleeve baselayers (that pretty much everyone here owns), their range has expanded to include zip ups, hats and loads of other warmers. Try one out this winter. We promise ewe* won't regret it.
Here's our favourites:
The classic baselayer and the item that kickstarted the Baa Baa range. Out of all the baselayers we sell, this is far and away the most popular one with staff members. It works better than the others, lasts longer and most importantly we're able to wash our not insignificant whiff out with ease.
This is stonking value for a Merino jersey. Whilst the competition sells their too cool for school retro gear for double the price, Endura have created an incredibly versatile item. This will compliment pretty much any layering system you have. Wear on it's own (have we mentioned enough just how nice this stuff feel against the skin?), as a mid layer or on top. Looks very nice too. Only downside (apparently) is that you can only fit half a squished peanut butter sandwich in the rear pocket.
An underhelmet hat that actually looks pretty nice. I want one because my roadie helmet is peakless (and because I'm a sucker for peaked beanies). The Skip Beanie will fit under your helmet, feel very nice against the skin and keep you head warm when wet. Most importantly, for those of us with a predilection toward sweat (I'm looking around the office and there's a few of us), it's easy to wash it out.
More fetching than just about every other underhelmet out there, this is more suited for cycling than just about every flat cap out there. A happy marriage of technical ability and Yorkshire hill farmer style.
Obviously the anti-smell properties come into their own here. as a bonus, seam free, feels great to the touch and will keep you warm when wet - unlike most of the competition.
* Sorry. Had to get that out of our system early.
