Consider this your first line of defense on the bike. The Men's Transfer Mesh Sleeveless Baselayer is engineered to maintain thermal comfort through active moisture control, making it ideal across a wide temperature range and performance profile.
Made with PRO Transfer Mesh fabric, this baselayer is highly breathable, quick-drying, and designed for unrestricted movement. Integrated In-R-Cool® technology activates with your body heat to provide continuous cooling when you need it, while the high-stretch construction ensures ultra mobility with minimal bulk.
Strategic design touches include a tight fit through the armpits to prevent bunching under jerseys or jackets, and an extended rear tail for full coverage in the riding position. For added freshness, GoFresh™ anti-odor treatment keeps funk at bay even under hard rides and extended use.
Made from recycled materials and finished with fabric tags sewn on the garment exterior to avoid friction during layering or indoor training sessions.
Wear it solo under a jersey for warm days, on its own for trainer sessions, or as part of your layering system when the weather cools. It's the technical base layer you'll reach for every time.
Pair with your preferred men's cycling jersey and cycling bib for a setup that manages heat and sweat like a champion.

FAQs
The Men's Transfer Mesh Sleeveless Baselayer is a men's cycling base layer built to manage heat and sweat across a wide temperature range.
- Do I need a base layer in hot weather?
It helps. A mesh base layer pulls sweat off your skin and spreads it for faster evaporation, and In-R-Cool® technology activates with your body heat to add continuous cooling, so it can feel cooler than a jersey alone. - How should it fit?
Form fit, close to the skin so it can move sweat. It's cut tight through the armpits so it won't bunch under a jersey, with an extended rear tail for coverage in the riding position. See the Size & Fit Guide for sizing. - Can I wear it on its own?
Yes, for indoor trainer sessions. Tags are sewn on the outside of the garment to avoid friction. - Is it only for summer?
No. It works under a jersey on warm days and as part of a layering system when the weather cools. - Will it smell after hard rides?
It uses a GoFresh™ anti-odor treatment to stay fresher through hard efforts and repeated use. - What is it made of?
92% recycled polyester and 8% spandex. For short sleeves, see the Men's Transfer Mesh Short Sleeve Baselayer.

Reviews
I’m sure it’s a great product like all of PI’s gear, but despite haveing an older version, the new size large is too small.
"Seems good, but too small. I’m 6’1”, 185lbs and have worn size Large in everything PI for years, this one is too tight. XL may be perfect. We will see."
Good sweat regulation
"This base layer item seems to attract sweat more than the jersey which makes me believe it’s doing its job. My rides are more enjoyable now that I’m cooler and less sweaty."
wrong size
"originally ordered medium- pearl izumi said they made a mistake- credited my account, gave me $ off another order. i ordered small- it's too small. my mistake"
Fantastic fabric
"As usual the Pearl Izumi quality is very apparent but the sizing. These under layers will get scant use because the L sizing is probably 2 sizes too small. These were a gift but it’s a waste of $100 and that is no small thing in trumps economy."
Great baselayer
"I own several of these mesh base layer shirts in both sleeveless and short sleeve. I prefer the sleeveless as they fit me better and are more comfortable for me. As a triathlete I also use them occasionally as a running shirt if I’m doing brick runs/ run off the bike training sessions, and as such I prefer the colors not the plain white. These layers both help keep you cooler and dryer in the heat as well as dry and warmer when it’s cool out. Very happy with the base layer shirts and will probably add a few more to my collection."
Amazing padding!
"Amazing padding!"
shirt
"the shirt is way too small does not match the size described on your website. Purchased a medium it is more like a XS."
Wicks moisture! But no stretch and hard to remove
"This wicks moisture and makes believe it helpes but it has no stretch and is very form fitting by design- I feel like I am going to rip it every time I take it off"
Good light weight top
"I love Pearl Izumi clothing, but this is the first piece I’d bought which seemed pretty far off on sizing. I usually take XL, which sits a little large, but I needed an XXL. The XL was way too tight. Otherwise, I like the feel of this base layer."
Covered and compressed
"Just started riding I'm about 5'9 230lbs so I said fuck it XXL it is. . . . Arrived and although I look like a sausage links its perfect for the bib I can still get in and thats the goal to workout and get this weight off."
