Natural Merino fibers to keep you naturally comfy
I'm using it in winter (under a jacket) and I used it in summer (below my Echelon Jersey) and it keeps perfectly the body temperature. And the cut is really comfy. Only your skin has the same body fit :)

Base Layer Revelation
Apart from shorts I have never bought cycling specific kit. Too expensive and my size fluctuates too much. But at 55 years old in the UK weather I thought it was about time. WHAT a decision that proved to be. There is enough information on here regarding the technical aspects of this base layer. They are all correct and this base layer delivers in bucket loads. Warm in the cold weather, wicking and cooling in the hot. I am 180cm (6ft) and a slim long limbed physique with some youthful musculature remaining at 55 years old with a <100cm (<40inches). Large fits perfectly. Perfect. Quality superb. Comfy as. Couldn't be happier. Will be buying more stuff to go with this and the LS Jersey (large) I bought with which I was equally happy. Problem is this is such good quality it will last a long time and so my visits here won't be as frequent as Isadore would like.Show full review -

Can't Fault It
A superb piece of kit, standing up well to lots of use. I love the transferred on washing instructions. I find the fit great with arm length, torso length and head size all being just right. Doesn't ride up, doesn't develop smells and looks goodShow full review -
Merino Base Layer
Every autumn I add a couple more of Isadore baselayers to my wardrobe. I use them for everything: running, cycling, weightlifting and even as "pijamas". Whenever I can't find one in my closet I know my girlfriend has stolen another one from me :)Show full review -
Mohlo byt dlhšie
Hovorí sa že univerzálne ale na leto mi to prišlo teple tak uvidíme neskôr, veľkosť zatiaľ sedí ako pri iných produktoch, dufam že sa nezrazí aj keď mohlo byt o pár cm dlhšie vzadu.Show full review -
Great piece to have
On your skin, nothing better to be in contact with your body more than merrino wool. Min oddor perfect for long rides nothing can make you comfy more than it under any top layer.Show full review -
The Best Base
OK, I have a complete wardrobe of Isadore kit. I love it all. I have put a reviews on the Signature Short Sleeved Jersey and Long Sleeved Jersey that included the base layer...but really...this needs to be shouted from the highest rooftops...YOU WILL NOT FIND A BETTER BASE LAYER ANYWHERE. "Does better than it says on the tin". Warm in the cold, cool in the heat. Comfortable. I now have several for my 'none cycling wardrobe' because these are stylish too with that collar detail. Do try one size up, but if you get it wrong then I have honestly never had an easier company to deal with. This was underscored when I ordered another base layer on Wednesday and it came on Friday! How did they do that? Oh, they wash well and dry quickly too.Show full review -
sizing
im around 78kg and 179cm tall. i compared M and L. Large is more comfy and looser. Medium fits really well, tight but still comfy. my built is muscular and i was afraid the medium would be tooo tight but its not. its just perfect. the material feels awesome, looks well made and the first ride in it was more then satisfiying. this will not be the last product of isadore.Show full review -
Comfortable and breathable
Had my 100% Merino SS baselayer for a couple of years now, and it still feels very soft and comfortable against the skin. Mine did shrink a little after a few washes even after following the care instructions, so in future I might be inclined to size up.Show full review -
Top baselayer
My first Merino wool baselayer; I don't want anything else:) Following other reviews, I have ordered a size larger than normal. Size L is just perfect: 1.86m/72kg.Show full review -
Excellent
I wear size L but next time i will try XL. I'm 1.93 and 78 kilo. Jersey is L but bas will be XL. Top quality, always wear Rapha, but this is much thicker and it fits better.Show full review -
Light warm and breathable
Light enough to wear in warm weather, but warm enough also to be worn in rather chilly mornings. Very breathable and odorless if you do multiple day rides. I followed the advice to take a size bigger. Took size L, I'm 186cm and weight 73 kgShow full review -
Spot on
Had the l/s for a few years and it's been great. Don't know why but tried 2 other brands before going back to Isadore. It was the only one that fitted well, didn't itch and keeps me warm. You pay for quality.Show full review -

perfekt
hatte urspruenglich grau bestellt - "leider" gab es nur noch golden oak. seit dem ersten mal ausfahren bin ich ziemlich gluecklich mit golden oak. werde noch ein grau bestellen sobald es wieder verfuegbar ist. komfort, optik, gefuehl - alles passt. bezgl. groesse: wuerde im zweifel zur groesseren variante raten. mein SS in L ist sehr sehr knapp. XL passt ohne, dass irgendwo ewtas flattert - laut tabelle wuerde ich mit 190cm und 81kg ziemlich dazischen liegen.Show full review -
Perfect baselayer
Short sleeve baselayer is thinner then the longsleeve baselayer. I am 175, 84 kg and wear an L. The baselayer is also longer then the longsleeve baselayer and covers more of your thighs. The quality is awesome after several times of washing it still looks as new - highly recommendable I just ordered a new one in greyShow full review -
Excellent baselayer but watch the sizing...
Really nice material, quite thin but it seems to suit a wide range of temparatures. I like the design at the neck. I wear size medium in Isadore jerseys and shorts, and bought this baselayer in medium. It was a fairly snug fit, but after the first wash it shrunk slightly, and is now a bit on the tight side, and quite short at the waist. (I followed the washing instructions!) Having been so impressed with the quality of other Isadore garments I was a bit disappointed, but I will buy more baselayers in size large to allow for shrinkage...Show full review -
Very good quality, very tight fit
Well, if you know Merino, you know what it's worth. This piece is no exception. What you need to know, is that sizing is really tight. I usually wear L in all my shirts and trikots, which gives me a good fit. This baselayer is tighter than any other piece of wardrobe so far. I took XL, if I were to buy another one.Show full review -
Athletic slim fit
Unboxing Isadore is like opening jewelry box. When trying on the tight fit is paramount for baselayer. This is tight at XXL for 193cm and 78kg with 96cm chest exhaled. XL is also good but I was afraid of possible shrinking after multiple washing and this is baselayer which is washed often, plus the extra cm to cover the back. I have the LONG SLEEVE JERSEY INDIGO BLUE in L (though XL would be very good fit as well) for reference and XL for bibs. It is a bit itchy for the first moment as almost all merinos but after a while I forget about it.Show full review -
Base layer not basic
If you are going to wear a base-layer it wants to be fabulous. These are, riding or socializing these are great, tight fitting so if you work out and want people to notice wear the base as a t-shirt and with the shaped collar it looks the dogs wotsits, on the road all day comfortable and keeps me warm and feeling dry. Top product !!!!Show full review -
Stylish second skin
I have the short sleeve merino in black. This is like a second skin, so comfortable you don't feel you have this base-layer on. It evacuates sweat, so no uncomfortable feeling from this shirt when riding hard. It adds warmth without one feeling it, so good base-layer for intermediate temperatures (10-20° C.). Very stylish!Show full review -
A really good buy.
I have two of these vests and they wash well, dry quickly, do not shrink or stretch. They are comfortable through a wide temperature range and wick moisture well, they do not become itchy when damp. The vests are also good for wearing casually after a ride. Hopefully, Isadore will add a few more colours to the range.Show full review -
Light, Comfort & Function
I have a few Isadore base layers now and I don't wear any other. The merino is soft and supremely comfortable. I always wear a base, even in summer (a vest), and these are excellent for wicking moisture away. They have no odour so you don't need to worry about the cafe stop. Wash them carefully (30 degrees maximum and use delicate cleaning agents) of course, and they stay like new.Show full review -
great product
I used it for cycling and running during cold spring and it amazes me. It keeps me warm and dry even if sweating. It is also very comfortable and superbly cut. I am 191 cm, skinny but with wide shoulders and L size fits great.Show full review -
Comfortable and functional
Quality for a great price (bought at a promotional discount). Excellent material. 183 cm, 78 kg - first S (I like the base layer tight) but it was short. Finally the XL was a good choice. Tight and long enough. Excellent communication and customer service. Fast and trouble-free exchange of goods. They even sent me a model from the new edition during the exchange.Show full review -
Uwe
Teueres aber gutes Unterhemd aus 100% Merino. Die bestellte Grösse bei 178 cm und ca.76 kg war L. Dieses war viel zu klein und eng. Der Umtausch in XL war problemlos. In Verbindung mit dem Langarmtrikot von Isadore eine gute Lösung. Es kann bis zum waschen öfters getragen werden, Auslüften genügt, keine Geruchsentwicklung.Show full review -

Nice cut and comfortable to wear
Very good and warm baselayer! A little bit short for me, but helps perfect during winter and spring.Show full review -
Výborne
Nátelnik s výbornými termoregulačnými vlastnosťami vhodný aj na iné outdoorové aktivity, ako je cyklistika. Pri kúpe odporúčam vybrať o číslo väčší nátelník, vzhľadom na to, že je vyrobený z vlny a po vypratí má tendenciu sa zrážať. Prať len ručne!Show full review -
Herr
Sehr eng anliegendes U.-Hemd, sehr knapp bei Gr. M/175cm/70kg, Evtl. minimal zu kurz geratener Rumpf, aber ich persönlich finde es super. Größe M der britischen Konkurrenz (R.) ist mir etwas zu lang, drauf sitzen mag ich nicht.. Also tendenziell eine Nummer größer, wenn man das racemäßige nicht so mag...Show full review -

I used to buy my merion baselayer from another carrier. But now that I know the Isadore quality I'll always get them here. They fit tightly and keep me warm on cold morning rides. They don't get hot when the temperatures rise. Perfect.Show full review -

Merino rocks!
Very nice base layer, that works excellent for longer rides in northern european weather - you'll stay warm in the morning and when the sun gets warmer the merino will cool your body - magic!Show full review -
Gute Qualität doch leider zu kurz
Der Wollstoff ist von hoher Qualität (dünn, gute Dehnbarkeit und doch abriebfest) doch für meine Größe (193 cm) ist selbst die größte Größe zu kurz. Ich habe selbst 10 cm unten dran genäht. Dann ist es gut.Show full review -
Too short in the waist
This baselayer is nice and warm. However, importantly for the recommended size it is too short in the waist. As a result the waist is exposed to the cold as the baselayer rides up during exercise. the baselayer should be at least 4 inches longer so that it stays tucked in.Show full review -
VERY GOOD PRODUCT, BAD CUT...
I'm very happy with Isadore signature jerseys! Size S fits perfect for me. So I decided to order 2 baselayers size S(one SL and one SS). They were suprisingly too small for me ; I had the impression to wear my child clothes! I exchange both for Medium size as Isadore Return and Exchange works very well. SL baselayer fits perfect but SS one remains too short in M and therefore very uncomfortable. Anyway, I'm happy with the first one. I wear it as often as I can. Nevertheless, I have to admit that I hesitate to order other Isadore articles because of this size/cut issue.Show full review -
velmi tesny
Objednal som veľkosť M, rovnako ako dres. Fit je ale menší a teda príliš tesný. Baselayer mi je vo výsledku celkom nepohodlný.Show full review

Looks good but the durability is poor
it's a race cut fit, that holds body well. however, i do not like it got wrinkled, side seams were twisted and a small hole on chest near decoration after the first wash. i always throw my cycling kits into laudry bag. it's kind of disapointed though.Show full review

Great but a question of durability.
A really excellent baselayer, warm and effective on brisk Melbourne mornings, great fit as well. Only problem is after first wash got a number of holes in random locations, washed on light setting, top loader as per directions with a wool & delicate detergent along with similar cycling delicates..Show full review
