Motorcycle Base Layers

Motorcycle base layers are the foundation of a comfortable ride, wicking sweat in summer heat and adding warmth in the cold. At DRIVEN, we stock moisture wicking, thermal, heated and merino wool base layers from brands including Alpinestars, Dainese, Gerbing and Oxford, sized for Canadian riders and shipping fast from Canada.

Choose a lightweight moisture wicking layer for hot days, merino wool for all around comfort and odour resistance, or a heated base layer wired to your bike for cold weather touring. A snug fit works best so the fabric can move moisture and sit cleanly under your jacket and pants. Layer a mid and outer shell on top to match the conditions.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best motorcycle base layer for summer? A lightweight, moisture wicking base layer keeps you cool and dry under a riding jacket in summer heat, while merino wool suits all around riding.

Do heated base layers need to plug into the bike? Most heated base layers wire to the motorcycle battery or run on a rechargeable pack; check the model before ordering for cold weather touring.
