Hi....

I'm doing the C2C tomorrow & the weather is going to be around 18deg C. I was going to buy a Endura Baa Baa base layer for the ride. Will it be too warm at those sort of temps?

I want a layer that I can use throught the winter I also want LS as I have the Laser Waterproof Jacket & the sleeves are rubberised & need a LS top. If it starts raining I hate wearing the Laser with a T-Shirt.

Thanks in advance
I'm over 6' and have quite a large head.

    I've used a merino short sleeved base layer in Summer on the C2C & I didn't boil myself alive. I was only wearing the base layer up top, nothing else over it.

    I think that long sleeved ones will be too hot for summer riding
