Base layer

like the brand

I do too for their winter gear especially.

I have 2 phontoms, several gloves, and for deepest winter their Xenon outfit (Jacket, bibs and gloves). The xenon stuff is so good I have to get into it in the garage with the door open a bit, otherwise Im a sweaty mess by the time I have got down to the bike! I have been out in minus 5 without a base layer and was still toasty.

Must admit I find both items I have quite a neat fit, the Phantom is a 42 and I'm around a 41 inch chest so for a wind stopper would have expected a slightly loser fit. However I still think I'm going to lose a few more pounds in weight and I think in a few weeks with that and a bit of wear it's going to be perfect. I'm also new to cycling so still getting used to the sculptured fit of most cycling gear.

Many thanks, does merino wool itch ?

Yes, like hell IF your skin is sensitive to it. I can wear socks for a few hours (good, as they're warm) but I can't wear it as a base layer elsewhere else my knees and arms are aflame within minutes
