Bicycle Base Review: The Best Baselayer for Riders Who Want Comfort + Performance

Zerofit baselayers are winning over cyclists worldwide – and with World Cycling Day here, it’s the perfect time to share why our gear is such a great fit for riders. Whether you’re pushing hard on steep climbs, cruising long distances, or just enjoying weekend rides, Zerofit baselayers are designed to keep you comfortable, supported, and performing at your best.

If you’re looking for a baselayer that adapts to your ride, the Heatrub Move is the one. Designed to perform in temperatures ranging from -5° to 12°C, it delivers the perfect balance of warmth and breathability, keeping you comfortable whether you’re pushing through cold winds or warming up on a tough climb.

Thanks to our Adaptable Warmth Technology (AWT), the Heatrub Move has been independently tested at the Boken Institute – Japan’s leading testing facility – and proven to be twice as warm as a standard baselayer.

Inside, it’s crafted with 45% polypropylene, ensuring excellent moisture-wicking to keep sweat away from your skin. On the outside, a hollow polyester shell works to trap and regulate heat. Together, these layers create a lightweight yet powerful baselayer built for performance and comfort.

When you’re at rest or moving slowly, it locks in warmth to keep you cosy. But once your ride picks up and the intensity rises, the fabric responds—regulating your body temperature so you don’t overheat. That’s AWT in action.

What makes it even smarter is the way it handles perspiration. As you sweat, the baselayer quickly wicks moisture away from your skin, so you never have to deal with that uncomfortable cold-sweat chill. Instead, you get consistent comfort whether you’re waiting at the lights, cruising up hills, or pushing hard on the flats.

Anthony Walsh, a former professional cyclist and now the host of the popular Roadman Cycling Podcast, is one of the many athletes who have experienced the benefits of Zerofit baselayers. Just before Christmas, he shared his thoughts on their performance during an episode of his show, highlighting how they make a real difference out on the bike.

With these innovations, the AWT Baselayer becomes the one essential piece runners and cyclists need this fall and winter—no more hassle of layering up, just effortless comfort and warmth in a single layer.
