Bonette Baselayer

India's riding calendar demands apparel that performs across extremes — from 40°C Delhi summer training to humidity-soaked Pune monsoon climbs and early-morning Ooty descents that turn cool fast. The Santini Bonette Baselayer is built for exactly this range, using technical moisture-wicking fabric and thoughtful construction to keep you comfortable across varied efforts and conditions.

Use Cases

Hot conditions. Lightweight wicking base layer for under jerseys in 35°C+ Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, and Chennai heat.

Cool weather rides. Thermal base layer for Delhi, Pune, and Bengaluru winter morning starts.

Long rides. Moisture management for full-day rides where sweat regulation defines comfort.

Our Take

The Santini Bonette Baselayer earns its place in an Indian rider's kit rotation. In a country where heat and humidity are your constant companions — whether you're grinding up the Western Ghats or spinning through Chennai traffic — moisture management is non-negotiable. The silicone hem gripper stays put over bib shorts during long efforts, and the ventilation control means you're not fighting your own kit. Selected for Indian conditions, this is a reliable, well-constructed piece at a fair price point.

Sizing for Indian Riders

Santini follows European sizing, which cuts slimmer than most Indian or Asian brands. As a general guide, if you wear M in Indian labels, start with L in Santini. Measure your chest circumference and cross-reference the Santini size chart before ordering. Riders above 90kg or with broader shoulders should size up. For layering during cooler Leh or Coorg mornings, go one size above your usual.

Compatibility Notes

Works across road, gravel, MTB, and commuter setups. Pairs cleanly with Santini bib shorts and arm warmers for a cohesive fit. Machine wash at 30°C with mild detergent — avoid fabric softener, which degrades moisture-wicking properties. Hang to dry; tumble drying damages technical fabric. Store completely dry during monsoon months to prevent mildew.

Pairs Well With

Complete your kit with technical bib shorts for matched compression and comfort, UV-protective arm sleeves for Ahmedabad or Hyderabad summer rides, a well-ventilated cycling helmet for heat management, and quality cycling sunglasses to handle the glare on open roads and Ghats descents.
