Discounted baselayers

Caroline_ie

Hi people of Boards.

NO WINTER IS NOT GREAT! It's cold and wet and windy(er than the rest of the year).

I have just purchased a few Canterbury Baselayers from this website at a fraction of the price. the shipping to Ireland is 9.99GBP, however the savings are worth it.

Thought you might want to have a look anyway

I really have enough base layers at this stage I reckon... must resist.

All these threads are getting me hot and bothered about base layers (sorry).

I already have a couple of Canterbury ones which suit me perfectly for both cycling and rugby, so justifying a new one is hard

Might have to start dropping hints about a nice merino 1 for Christmas

Are base layers essential or just useful (commuting or longer jaunts?)

niceonetom

They're good baselayers but I think they are proportioned to suit a rugbyer's build better than a cyclist's.

I have an LARGE ionx that should be plenty big for me (40-42 chest according to the chart) but it has comically short sleeves leaving me with needlessly chilly wrists. Woe. This is probably due to the fact that a a rugby player with a 39" chest (like mine) is both a) unusual and b) about 5'4". I'm 6', and most rugby players my height probably have chests closer to 50" than 40".

SportsWorld in Charlestown have similar ones for about the same price.

I think it's the place beside Joe Duffy motors on the N2/M20 junction near Finglas. Never realised there was a Sportsworld there.

Well nothing is essential. I didn't use them for a long time. They do help with temperature regulation and layers give you flexibility. You can wear them under a jersey whether LS or SS depending on the weather. As a result of having base layers, I don't need so many LS jerseys- change the base layer but reuse the jersey.

I was skeptical of them at first. But I don't cycle or excercise without one now. I use the nike cooling ones in the summer also, I don't like the feel of cycling jerseys next to my skin.

I've notice this with Cantebury too, the arms are slightly short. but not enought to annoy.
