Castelli Men's Flanders Warm Long Sleeve Baselayer

This base layer is more comfortable and warmer than I expected. I have been using 100% wool base layers for years. I sweat easily and feel chilled once the wool is soaking wet. This synthetic base layer wicks moisture away more easily than the wool ones. On colder days (low 30's) I would layer the wool over the synthetic getting the benefit of the wool without having it next to my skin.

I purchased this primarily due to BTD great discount. It is a premium base layer. I use it in several different out door activities. Cycling is just one of them. When it gets cold this is a top choice as your base layer. As most know you must size up in any Castelli product. I'm 6'2" 220lbs and typically get XL jerseys. I ordered a XXL and the fit is perfectly snug.

Fits tight. It's warm and comfortable. Not a huge deal but would prefer more of a turtleneck for these underlayers.

It's Castelli. Well made. Comfortable. Works great. AND at 6'2' & 215 lbs I went with an XXL. I don't wear a double X in anything' it's Castelli.

Fits well, I don't notice it's on. While I don't feel it is quite as warm as other reviews have stated, it is definitely beneficial. The underarm venting is quite effective, maybe a touch too effective.

This is a great cold weather baselayer. I use this kit on all my cold weather rides. It keeps me warm and it really does wick moisture away from my skin to continually keep me warm. I am a heavy sweater so my other long sleeve baselayers tend to get soaked with sweat which then starts to cool me off in cold weather, not this long sleeve baselayer. It does have an incredibly soft feel, the product description is very accurate. I loved this baselayer so much that I bought a second one.

I'm 6'3" 195 lbs. 32" waist with a swimmer build, 44 chest. The base layer is a form fitting trim up, so no big bunches of fabric plus it is long enough to not be short to your waist. The XL fits me perfect, the sleeves nice and long plus the low cut mock turtle neck doesn't get in the way of tall collared jackets or jerseys.

Just right for a single layer under a long sleeve jersey in 50 degree F weather or add a midlayer vest as the temp drops.

Note, read the care instruction tags for your garment if you want it to last a long time,

DO NOT DRY IN THE DRIER! They will tell you to not put in the dryer. It dries really fast just hanging, I washed it at noon after a ride and it was dry by the next morning for another ride. I air dry all my cycle gear expect my socks.

This Castelli Flanders baselayer was great for cycling in the colder temperatures around here. I used this with a short sleeved jersey and and LG insulated jacket and was plenty warm down to 38 degrees, assuming the usual accessories for warmth. It's comfortable against the skin and isn't overly constrictive for fit, but definitely form fitting like most of the Castelli gear.

used for road cycling and snow skiing

Great base layer that works well from 30s to 50s. I am 6'-1" and 150 lbs. The large size fits like a glove. Highly recommended.

This base layer is great. Keeps me warm here (So CA) riding in temps in the 40s. Be aware that it runs small. I am 6'2' and 190 lbs and ordered an XL. It fits tight and I wish it was a bit longer. I have long arms (36' long) and the sleeves fit fine.

Very impressed with warmth of this product, even in low temps- 25-35 degree F and windy conditions. Combine that with killer deal on a BTD daily special and hard to say no to this product.

Great tight fit. Order one size larger than usual for Castelli wear. Soft warm material, between a quality cotton and fleece feel. Use it for a base layer under a regular Jersey on those chilly mornings. It is pricey but this is another Castelli product that did not dissapoint.

Keep your upper body comfortable and moisture free with this one. Supper comfortable and a great addition for the under 45 degree rides.

This is comfortable for winter rides, once it is in place.

So far the shirt has not ripped, nor my ears been torn off,

but those seem possible every time it is put on or removed.

Size large shirt, 7 hat size. Maybe Italians have very small heads.

Perfect base layer for winter, but retail price is unreasonable.

This is the best winter base layer I've ever had. Wicks sweat away from your body so you don't get too cold. Comfy fit. Good underarm ventilation.

Bought this when it was the daily special and it has been so good! Soft, warm, and its so thin and flexible I almost don't feel it once its on

Per usual Castelli quality. I purchased two.

Fits snug as expected. XXL (Castelli right!) i am 195#, 6'0" with 43.5 chest.

Arms are nice and long.

Appreciate the different material used.
