CYCLING BASE LAYERS

Blending the Swedish brand's Mesh Superlight and Zero Extreme fabric into one very cleverly body-mapped base layer, the long sleeve Craft Active Extreme Concept Piece is Craft's most adaptable first layer yet for cool to cold rides.

Take your rear shoulder area for example - it gets mighty hot even in cold rides, so here, Craft applied their Superlight fabric to provide coverage without heat buildup. Switch that idea around and Active Extreme fabric is placed in key areas ...

Saying things like 'Next Generation' is pretty lame. However, when something like the Craft Concept Piece Base Layer arrives, you sort of struggle for any other words.
