I've been watching the Sky Documentary lately and noticed all the Sky team wear these meshy vest underlayer by adidas. Does anyone know what these are, and if they're available to buy?

    Don't know what the sky ones are but I have a gore mesh base layer. I tend to use two types, a normal compression base layer 95% of the time (under armour or Nike) and the gore mesh one for when its really hot. I find the base layer wicks the sweat away from you so you don't get that damp feeling and also helps stop the wind coming through when you're moving. Well worth trying one.

    Have some gore & Rapha base layers and they seem to work pretty well at moving the sweat away.

    Some adidas ones on wiggle but sure you should be able to find them elsewhere too - http://www.wiggle.co.uk/adidas/base-layers/
    Pain hurts much less if its topped off with beating your mates to top of a climb.

    Castelli ones look quite similar to the Sky Adidas base layers?

    Or the Craft do one that's quite a bit cheaper?

    +1 for the craft mesh baselayer


    got it with a ridiculous discount for £12.50 on wiggle... just wish I'd stocked up because they're £30+ normally. and unfortunately prendas only have L left :(
