Base Layer Bullet Proof Sleeveless

At the heart of the Bullet Proof’s performance is Q36.5’s proprietary Air Insulation, an ultralight fleece constructed from brushed mesh to create a surface that captures a large volume of air (the world’s lightest insulation!) between layers, as well increasing surface area in contact with the body, thus facilitating the wicking of moisture, keeping you dry for longer!

Base Layer 1

The Q36.5 Base Layer 1 represents our technologically extreme vision of the traditional seamless base layer that provides optimal moisture management thanks to our use of the cutting-edge Karl Mayer Seamless knitting machines. The seamless design uses multiple integrated yarn structures with varying densities to pull sweat away from the skin and move it to an outer layer where it can evaporate.

Recommended for temperatures
as low as 22°C // 71.6°F
