Planet X 100% Merino Base Layer 120gm
Our new 120gm Merino Baselayers are perfect for spring and summer cycling. Made from super-fine lightweight 120gm Merino wool that feels soft next to the skin and naturally resists odours. Designed and cut specifically for cycling to aid movement and comfort on the bike.
Why Merino?
Merino wool has excellent wicking properties; it not only helps remove moisture from the skin, but stays warm even when wet. Which makes it the perfect choice for cycling. No matter how hard you ride you'll never feel cold or clammy. Even when it's hot outside, Merino will 'wick' away any moisture keeping you nice and cool.
Better than smelly-ester
Another real plus to Merino is that it naturally resists odours, unlike traditional Polyester baselayers that stink after one ride. Our Merino wool jerseys will last for several rides without becoming smelly.
Designed for cycling
Our baselayers have been designed specifically for cycling; the length of the sleeves has been extended to prevent them moving up the arm, when gripping the bars. Designed to fit close to the body, but they don't feel tight as the material has excellent elasticity. The back is made longer to prevent it riding up when on the bike.

About the Planet X brand.
Over recent years, the Planet X name has become synonymous with top quality bikes and cycling components at the best value prices. The company, based in Rotherham, South Yorkshire, took the cycling world by storm with hugely popular and highly acclaimed road bikes such as the Planet X Pro Carbon, Team Alu and Nanolight, as well as the award-winning Stealth and Exocet time trial bikes. The design and attention to detail doesn't stop with carbon road frames though - other legendary specialist products like the Planet X Uncle John cyclo-cross frame continue to excel in events where reliability, speed and performance are absolutely essential.
Planet X is more than just another online bike shop - alongside its own extensive range of bikes, frames and cycling products sit top quality components, clothing, spares and accessories from all the big-name manufacturers such as Shimano, FSA, Guerciotti, Giro, Schwalbe, Continental and SRAM - plus, a devotion to value combined with extensive buying power gives Planet X the opportunity to deliver amongst the lowest prices in Europe direct to the cycling public in the UK and beyond.
Planet X has received praise and awards from customers and the cycling industry alike. 220 Triathlon magazine has voted the Stealth time trial bike its 'Bike of the Year' award for the 3rd time, and awarded the Exocet a Best in Test - citing its astonishing quality and value for money compared to its competitors.
Planet X, together with its sister brand On-One, continues to pursue its aim of offering high-spec road, track, time trial, mountain, commuter and fixie bikes direct to the consumer, cutting out the middleman and slashing prices to the absolute minimum. The Company has been at the leading edge of the British bike scene for years and is now branching further afield with aims to deliver the same award-winning formula internationally.
