Dry Short Sleeves Baselayer

India's riding calendar demands a base layer that works as hard as you do — whether you're grinding through humid Chennai heat, climbing the Western Ghats in Lonavala, or surviving Delhi's blazing summer rides. The Santini Dry Short Sleeves Baselayer is built for exactly these conditions: a technical fabric that pulls sweat away, breathes actively, and holds up through the kind of frequent washing that Indian riding volumes demand.

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

For riders tackling Pune's weekend climbs or Hyderabad's punishing summer training blocks, this base layer earns its place in the kit bag. Santini's moisture-wicking construction keeps you drier than a standard cotton vest ever could at 35°C+, and the silicone hem gripper prevents the frustrating ride-up that plagues cheaper alternatives on longer efforts. At Rs. 5,690, it's a considered buy for the rider who takes recovery and comfort seriously.

Sizing for Indian Riders

Santini sizing follows European standards — cut slim through the chest and shoulders. Indian riders should generally size up one from their usual Indian brand size. If you normally wear M locally, start with L in Santini. Riders with broader shoulders or above 90kg should size up further. In Coorg or Ooty's cooler elevations, sizing up allows comfortable layering beneath a windproof outer.

Compatibility Notes

Works across all cycling disciplines — road, gravel, MTB, and commuting. Pairs cleanly under Santini jerseys and arm warmers for a consistent fit. Machine wash at 30°C with mild detergent; avoid fabric softener as it degrades moisture-wicking fibres. Hang to dry — tumble drying damages technical fabric. Store fully dry during monsoon months to prevent mildew.

Pairs Well With

Complete your kit with a matching set of bib shorts for unrestricted movement, UV-protective arm sleeves for long sun-exposed rides on NH routes, a well-ventilated cycling helmet suited to Indian heat, and a lightweight cycling cap for additional sun protection during summer training blocks.
