Recommendations for good inexpensive sleeveless baselayer?

[54ny77]

I've been using same brand/model of sleeveless baselayer for years, Sugoi I think is the brand, since at the time I bought a ton of em by luck on closeout. They were just the right balance of fit, fabric weight and at a great price . It's time to replace, as they're getting tired and destined for the rag bag.

Got any suggestions for a reasonably priced, lightweight sleeveless baselayer? I have no clue who makes what these days on that kind of item, and would appreciate your specific experience & suggestions. Thx.

I got a Gore as a gift and its just right for those days I need more than a few thin volers I have.

I like Sportful & Endura when on sale

Sugoi I had is also very good but is different type (not mesh type)

Uniqlo Airism Micro Mesh Tank Top (or V-Neck Sleeveless). Ultra lightweight. About $15. I like Craft, too, but Uniqlo is less than half the cost.

How do the lengths run on them?

Several years ago I picked up a few Uniqlo winter-oriented baselayers (thermal tops, really) on the advice perhaps here or another bike website and after taking a pair of scissors to the arms and waist, just to get the sizing right, I had to laugh. Made for a good, if not pricey, grease rag.

Their website's sizing chart lists 27 1/6 inches for body length back in a medium. I just measured mine at 27 inches, which is just slightly shorter to my Craft short sleeve. I find the underarm width, though, to be markedly " "snugger" to Craft. I have the Uniqlo lightweight Heattech (winter lightweight) in medium and it is shorter in the back(they list 28 1/3 inches and I measured 27). If you are long and lanky, these might not be for you.

For inexpensive, I have one of these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07JPZDVRP/ref=twister_B07CH3GXY5?th=1&psc=1

Very good, especially for the price. I like my Gore base layers better, but it is 3 times the price. I happily wear this when Gore is dirty and will likely buy more in the future.

+3 on Craft.

Craft.

yes, Craft.

I still use some older Santini mesh tank base-shirts. They work very well, and have lasted a long time. Same thing for DeFeet. but the Santini mesh is more open, cooler.

I actually really like the under armor sleeveless heat gear base layer. I think you can get them for about $25.

Craft.One thing to keep in mind with Craft sleeveless is that one can often go down a size. I'm a large in all club jerseys and an XL in pro Rapha and Texmarket, but prefer medium Craft mesh baselayers. However anything sleeved from Craft is an instant large.

Voler: https://www.voler.com/browse/product/li/1010972

Reasonable price, good quality, US made. I’ve been using these (and similar, previous versions) for years.

Cutaway Cycling Cloud Base layers are the best I've ever used. Nice material and cool designs, plus they are on sale!

Another vote for the Voler sleeveless. Wicks well, cool, and the arm holes are big enough that they don’t bind.

Best value - Craft, bar none.

Best over all - Santini Carbon

Most over rated - Assos

I own all three. I regret the Assos (love its other products), wish I could afford more of the Santini and the Craft is just good stuff, decent price.

Check out Search and State. I have 2 of their Merino ones and they have become some of my favorite kit.

UnderArmour Heat Gear have worked fine for me for years. Totally satisfied. Truly ubiquitous.
These garments lead a tough life, so opt for black to match bibs and not clash with most jerseys.

Another Craft fan....

CRAFT ...and b done with it...u will never look back.

Nike Pro works for me. I think I have 2 each of sleeveless, short sleeve and long sleeve fitted compression. All good.
