CraftMen's Cool Mesh Superlight Sleeveless Baselayer(Return to Product Page)

It's still too early to tell if this will fall apart over time. I plan on using it weekly as I did with my Pearl Izumi baselayer and so far it's lasted me 3 years with no issues. So I will compare it to my PI. It's very light, and comfy, keeps me cool in the Florida hot and humid weather. I don't feel sticky at the end of my rides and still able to not feel overheated. I bought a size medium, which I usually wear, but appears to be more loose. Maybe next time I'll order a small and see if it'll fit well. Anyway, like I said earlier my review might change over time since I'm going to compare it to my PI that I've been using for over 3 years and so far nothing wrong with it.

Used under jersey in all weather conditions. Keeps a layer of ventilation when it's hot out allowing cooler air layer between skin and jersey, jersey doesn't stick to the skin.

I prefer a base layer. Got this for very hot conditions. Great choice. Light, breathable, comfortable.

I am using this for road cycling. So far I have no complaints. Interested in knowing how it will hold up after multiple uses. Time will tell.

The difference in cooling effect between the new base layer and an well worn bade layer of the same garment was quite noticeable. Definitely felt cooler wearing this base layer. Comfortable, snug without being uncomfortable.

Great for everyday summer riding, you can unzip your jersey and not have your chest exposed and the light material helps in wicking and cooling. Also, great for traveling and be easily washed in a hotel sink and drys quickly, or you can roll it up in a dry towel and it ready to wear immediately.

I'm using this in the really hot weather we're experiencing, and for the most part, it helps to dissipate the sweat and cool my body. I think it would be better if it had no elastaine.

Runs large! Had to send back for a size down. Beautiful quality at a great price! Feel Pro and get one.

Bought this on sale but would buy full price. This is one of those pieces of gear you put on and forget because it is so good. Does the job in hot humid weather and great for indoor training. I also wear under work shirts to keep a sweaty cotton shirt off of me.

I use the Craft Cool Mesh on my MTB rides and on long E-MTB rides (exploring remote areas). I love the barrier and the ventilation it provides. I now have 4 of these to prevent laundry becoming an everyday event.

PROs - great ventilation, doesn't stick to my skin, no odor problems, I use the white ones so they are always cool.

CONs - A bit pricey for what it is, the laundry tag is enormous

The baselayer is great, the mesh is nice, breathes well and stretchy but the size is huge. I am 5 6' and bought a small. It is super long and bunches under a jersey.

3 stars because of the size.

Only used for a few rides so far, but works great. I would do as others have posted here and go a size smaller than usual. I usually ride a XL standard fit jersey and a L Craft baselayer fits perfect.

Excellent fit, comfortable, really works. I save it for long days in the saddle.

This piece adds warmth to any jersey. Makes a climbers jersey too hot above 55'F. I wear it under a long-sleeve thermal jersey at 40' for the extra insulation. I bought it for supposed wicking and cooling action, which is the opposite of what it does. So, from 40'F to 55'F, it makes a nice lightweight insulating layer. Warmer than that, leave it at home.

I'm 5'10 and 190 and size medium fit perfect.

Mandatory for cooling riding in these hot temperatures!

Yes, cooler, rides nice, buffer between jersey and body

Good fit. I like it.

Underlayer for biking in the hot weather. Haven't had a chance to try yet but replacing a layer I have used in the past and look forward to comparing them.

One of my favorite baselayers. Perfect for 65f-80f temp range or so. Great indoors too on the trainer - keeps you cooler than a jersey. Although, mesh feels a little delicate, and requires some care pulling it on and taking off especially when sweaty, after a season of usage no rips or pulls and is still going strong. 38 chest 160lbs I sized down to a SM for a form fit - M felt a little loose for a base.
