Kepler Velo Short Sleeve [2016]
Thermoregulatory, anti-microbial, UV protective, and exquisitely soft, Kepler Velo base layer keeps you comfortable and fresh on longer trips across a range of temperatures with a slightly thicker fabric keeps you protected on chillier days.
A high collar protects your neck from draughts or the sun whilst short sleeves and a half-zip add ventilation. Drop tail and gripper hem elastic, stop the base layer from riding up.
Thoughtfully functional, a zipped pocket on the rear is sized to fit your energy bars and gels.
Reflective tape woven into the zips helps you stay visible and safe.
MERINO
The Kepler range uses beautiful, superfine merino for a luxuriously comfortable next-to-skin feel.
With thermoregulatory and anti-microbial properties, merino wool is more than a match for day-in, day-out use across the temperatures in changeable mountain conditions, help you to stay fresh, comfortable, and protected no matter what the weather decides.
We use 100% natural New Zealand merino from non-mulesing farms.

Waist - Measure around your waist at the narrowest part.
Hips - Standing with your feet together, measure around your hips at the widest part.
Sleeve - With your arms relaxed by your side, tilt your head down and ask a friend to measure from the bone at the base of your neck, over your shoulder and down your arm to the fold at your wrist.
