ATTAQUE SLEEVELESS BASE LAYER

PISSEI Attaque Sleeveless Base Layer

The PISSEI Attaque Sleeveless Base Layer is your lightweight, sleeveless base layer for hot days on the bike or transitional days worn under a long-sleeve jersey. The Octago fabric is quick-drying, skin-friendly and wicks sweat away from your body efficiently, so you stay comfortable even during intense intervals. The micro-perforated structure increases air circulation, while the flat hem prevents annoying bunching under your bib shorts. Designed to be paired with summer jerseys or a long-sleeve jersey when it's not too cold – ideal for cycling in Switzerland.

Technical Details and Features

The Octago mesh forms ultra-fine micro-cells that promote airflow and allow moisture to evaporate particularly quickly, keeping your skin noticeably drier and preventing you from getting chilled on descents. The confirmed material composition of 93% polyester and 7% elastane delivers a natural, stretchy fit without any restriction. A flat waistband reduces bulk under your bib shorts, while the micro-perforated structure boosts ventilation during hard efforts. Care is straightforward thanks to clear washing instructions: wash inside out at 30 °C, on a delicate or quick cycle, do not iron and do not tumble dry. PISSEI also specifies a practical temperature range with a focus on warm to very warm conditions.

Use Cases and Benefits

As a summer cycling base layer, the Attaque really comes into its own on the road bike, gravel riding in the Mittelland or on long Alpine passes. Under a short-sleeve jersey it keeps you noticeably drier at high intensity, while under a thin long-sleeve jersey it adds thermal comfort on cool morning starts. The fast moisture transfer prevents heat build-up on climbs and reduces that chilly feeling on the way back down. Thanks to its soft feel, it's also a great choice for indoor trainer sessions where you work up a serious sweat. And because the hem sits flat, the fit stays discreet and comfortable – exactly what you want for everyday cycling in Switzerland.

An added bonus: the Attaque is available in combined sizes from XXS to XL-XXL and comes in three variants in our store, so you can choose the length and look that suits your setup. Depending on the season, PISSEI offers classic colours such as white and black as well as design variations, making it easy to find the version that matches your jersey. The official specifications confirm the material, sizing logic and warm-weather temperature focus. If you're between two sizes, we recommend going with the smaller option for a snug, close fit.
