Think of this as the foundation layer for performance and comfort. The Men's Transfer Mesh Short Sleeve Baselayer is engineered to regulate body temperature through moisture management, keeping you riding comfortably across a wide range of conditions.

Made with PRO Transfer Mesh fabric, this baselayer excels at breathability and quick drying while delivering a lightweight, high-stretch fit for unrestricted movement. In-R-Cool® technology activates with body heat to provide continuous cooling, and the high-stretch construction ensures a smooth, second-skin fit with minimal bulk.

Strategic design features include a tight fit through the armpits to prevent bulk and bunching under jerseys, and an extended rear tail that provides full coverage in the riding position. GoFresh™ anti-odor treatment keeps freshness lasting through prolonged use, while fabric tags sewn on the exterior minimize friction during layering or indoor training.

Wear it solo on trainer rides, under a jersey during warm-weather rides, or as part of your layering strategy when temps fluctuate. This baselayer is built for system-level versatility.

Pair it with your favorite men's cycling jersey or cycling bib short for a setup that manages sweat and comfort at every intensity.

FAQs

The Men's Transfer Mesh Short Sleeve Baselayer is a men's cycling base layer built to manage heat and sweat across a wide range of conditions.

  • Do I need a base layer in warm weather?
    It helps. Mesh pulls sweat off your skin for faster evaporation, and In-R-Cool® technology activates with body heat to add continuous cooling.

  • How should it fit?
    Form fit, with a second-skin feel. It's tight through the armpits so it won't bunch under a jersey, with an extended rear tail. See the Size & Fit Guide for sizing.

  • Can I wear it on its own?
    Yes, for trainer rides. Fabric tags are sewn on the outside to avoid friction.

  • Will it smell after hard rides?
    A GoFresh™ anti-odor treatment keeps it fresher through prolonged use.

  • What is it made of?
    92% recycled polyester and 8% spandex.

  • What other Transfer base layers are there?
    The Men's Transfer Mesh Sleeveless Baselayer drops the sleeves for peak heat, and the Men's Transfer Wool Long Sleeve Baselayer is the cold-weather merino option.

Best baselayer

"Perfect weight and fabric for summer, fitted. Fits me well, but I’m fairly slim."

— Joseph H. (5/5)

Sized For Skinny Euro-dudes

"I wear a size small in virtually every shirt I own. I need to be an emaciated pro to put this on! I returned them (Qty. 2) and will exchange them for mediums. For reference, I’m 5’6”, 135 lbs."

— Peter P. (2/5)

"Huge difference in comfort when wearing this. Buying more!"

— Robert (5/5)

Mislabeled item

"shirt was mislabeled; supposed to be a M, tag was a S. It was returned for exchange, and waiting. ."

Second skin like fabric, amazing

"Second skin like fabric, amazing base layer that fits nice and snug to promote amazing breathability and sweat transfer."

— Fernando V. (5/5)

Can't ride without!

"Simple piece that I never ride without. Added the t-shirt version to go with my sleeveless one. Great at wicking sweat and keeping you comfortable. Fabric breathes well. 5'10 72 KG and I wear a medium. I'd say fit is true to size."

— Matthew M. (5/5)

Good liner, runs small

"The base liner works real well. The size does run small. I would order next size up. I'm 6 ft and 185lbs."

— Andrew M. (5/5)

"Love this base layer, I have several. I wear medium Pearl Izumi jerseys, they fit perfect however the base layer in medium is too tight for me, I wear a large base layer."

— Marv S. (5/5)

Gets the job done! 👍

"It fits tight! Easy to get on when it's dry, but the surface tension when it's wet, makes for a much different experience. You have to basically bunch it all of the way up, as if you're putting on the baselayer, and that's easier said than done. It stays "damp"! This baselayer pairs well with a lightweight cotton jersey during triple-digits. Excess sweat either drips on the bike or evaporates. I will say, at first the baselayer feels counterintuitive, but once you get sweating the real magic begins! I'll give this a five because it does exactly what I want it to do. When you're in the saddle for 8 hours you need all the cooling you can get."
