Looking for a base layer with windstopper on front

dieselgeezer

I'm looking for a long sleeved base layer with a wind stopper layer on the front as I feel the cold quite easily. Not Assos prices. Any recommendations?
Many thanks

I've a couple of Craft Zero Extreme Windstopper base layers that I really rate, but looking online they appear to have been discontinued

Shame if they've been discontinued as I use one. Perfect for winter rides.

Don't think (almost certain) the Probikekit Craft base layer doesn't have a Windstopper membrane on the front. This is the bit that makes a real difference.

Gore do a jersey with a windstopper front

Don't really see the point of a base layer with a wind proof panel on the front. Can't wick very well. Would you not be better off wearing a normal base layer with a wind proof jersey or jacket?

I have a couple of windstopper fronted baselayers, ideal for cold-weather and CX racing under a skinsuit

Think I agree with this. I feel the cold as well, tend to just wear a castelli gabba gillet under my jacket ( normally rapha pro team or hard shell). Then the base layer can just do it's job and wick the moisture away.

Ok, apart from that

Thanks for all the replies. Re the WS on the front of a baselayer, just to put you in the picture as to how cold I get on a brisk training ride at ,say 4'C, at the moment I wear 2 Helly bases, a long sleeve autumn top & an Assos 851 over that. I STILL feel the cold. Hence the reason for a WS base layer. Have ordered a Craft on & see how I get on. Roll on spring!
