Gear: Pearl Izumi Racerback Base Layer

May 5th, 2013 • BY

We doubted the viability of this ultra-lightweight little base layer when we first slipped it out of the box. What benefit could this sheer, minimal base layer offer?

But after a taking the Pearl Izumi Women’s Transfer Lite Racer-Back Baselayer ($35) our for a few test runs and rides, we’re completely hooked. It’s a perfect complement to spring’s outdoor pursuits. We’ve worn it religiously under a long-sleeve bike jersey for morning rides and spins at higher elevations where the temps are colder and the weather’s unpredictable. We’ve also worn it running and hiking in the morning and evening under long-sleeve tops. The light extra layer provided us with just the extra boost of warmth we needed.

This base layer’s secret is in the fabric, Pearl Izumi’s P.R.O. Transfer Lite Dry fabric powered by Minerale (50% Minerale polyester, 50% polyester). This fiber blend provides optimal moisture transfer, dry time, and—bonus—odor absorption. Bottom line—the Transfer Lite Baselayer is designed to keep you dry, odor-free, and comfortable even in warm to hot conditions. We actually wore it solo while mountain biking in Moab when the temps soared.

With a body-hugging cut and scoop neck, this affordable top delivers style points and will definitely turn some heads when worn solo. It also features a tuck-able drop tail that affords a nice layered look under tops and jerseys.

Now that we’re addicted, we launch a full-blown closet search-and-rescue operation if we can’t locate this indispensable piece before a ride or run. Solution? We now have two.
