A base layer for mountain biking in changing terrain

Short answer: On the trail you switch between hard work uphill and cold wind downhill. A bamboo viscose base layer moves the sweat so the descent does not turn cold.

Up and down in one ride

You sweat on the climb and cool down on the descent. The base layer decides the difference. See bamboo undershirts for men.

A backpack makes your back wet

A pack seals off your back and that is where most moisture builds. A layer that passes it on makes it bearable. See bamboo t-shirts for men.

Underwear for hours in the saddle

Long rides need underwear without seams in the wrong place. See bamboo boxers for men.

Frequently asked questions

Can you ride mountain bike in bamboo clothing?

As a base layer yes. The outer layer should still be wind and water resistant in Danish weather.

Why does my back get wettest?

Because the backpack shuts air out exactly there. Choose a layer that moves moisture quickly.

Does changing your shirt after the ride help?

Yes, it is the simplest way to avoid getting cold on the way home.
