DARK SECRETS: Spatzwear race layer review warm and dry with low bulk - The Real Truth

The Race Layer is another super-functional product from the company born of a desire to keep Yorkshire riders training through the depths of winter. 

A snug fit with ribbed and textured panels to trap air and help wicking, it’s a short-sleeved alternative to Spatzwear’s original Basez, which has a high neck, long sleeves and hand cover. Both products are aimed at addressing the road-rider’s problem that low-bulk clothing typically isn’t all that warm, and while we off-road riders don’t need its aero qualities so much, we can still reap the benefits of the comfort.
