sleeveless base layer
Core-only merino for warm days when the arms want nothing on them.
three places, three grades
a grade with no reason is not a grade
- hikingsuitable
- Covers the torso where a pack rubs, leaves the arms open on a warm climb.
- cyclingusable
- Fine under a jersey, but bare shoulders under a strap-free jersey means nothing between skin and wind at speed.
- commutingnot advised
- It is an under-layer with open armholes — it is not intended to be the visible top of an outfit.
Cycling grades account for back hem length, sleeve length with your arms forward on the bars, and whether there is a rear pocket you can reach. Rear pocket on this piece: no.

the piece
A 140 g/m² sleeveless base that keeps the torso covered under a pack while the arms stay bare. Wide armholes cut clear of a strap line.
what it does, and where it stops
how we test- fabric weight
- 140 g/m²
- garment weight
- 118 g in EU 50 / M
- water repellency
- None. No repellent finish on this fabric.
- hydrostatic resistance (EN ISO 811)
- Not published.
- breathability (EN ISO 11092)
- Not published.
No water-repellent finish. This fabric soaks through in rain and is meant to be worn under a shell.
Not measured. This garment is water-repellent only, so no hydrostatic figure is published for it.
Not yet measured. No breathability figure is published and no breathability claim is made until it is measured to this standard.
- Armholes cut 3 cm wider than the tee so a pack strap never crosses the binding
- 140 g/m² plain knit
- Bound armhole and neck, no elastic
