Baselayer
Gravel riding means long hours in the saddle, often far from any rest stops. A baselayer keeps your skin dry for hours and prevents you from getting chilled with every change in pace or in the twilight.
The mid-layer keeps you warm on long rides and wicks moisture away from the body. On gravel tours, its temperature range is crucial: it needs to function from the cool morning start right through to the midday sun.
The insulation is your safety net on long gravel rides. It warms you up as soon as you stop or the weather turns bad, and packs down small enough to fit in a bikepacking bag or backpack.
The top layer protects against wind, rain, and spray. On gravel roads, it's the layer you rarely wear and never forget: when the weather turns, you're often far from the nearest shelter.
On gravel stages, endurance is paramount for legwear. The shorts must remain comfortable for many hours, keep the muscles warm, and cope with dust, gravel, and spray.
