EQUIPE NS Skin Layer P1

EQUIPE NS Skin Layer P1

The EQUIPE NS Skin Layer P1 from ASSOS is an ultralight, sleeveless base layer for hot conditions and intense rides on the bike. The extremely open mesh construction maximizes air circulation and ensures that heat and moisture are wicked away from the body in a flash. Thanks to raw-cut finishes and the flat profile, it virtually disappears under close-fitting jerseys and barely feels like an additional layer. Optimized for > +21 °C and developed with racingFit, it's the coolest base layer option within the ASSOS collection.

• Very lightweight, super-open mesh construction for maximum cooling
• Sleeveless with continuous raw-cut finishing for minimal bulk
• Excellent breathability (5/5) and quick-drying (5/5), very high packability (5/5)
• Recommended temperature range: warm conditions > +21 °C
• racingFit for seamless layering under second-skin jerseys
• Composition: 44% polypropylene, 44% polyamide, 12% elastane
• Color: Ice Grey; Variants/Sizes: 0, I, II (three variants)

Technical Details and Features

The open-pore structure of the fabric increases the surface area for evaporation, which accelerates moisture management and keeps your body climate stable. The material blend of PP/PA/EA reduces water absorption, so the shirt never feels heavy even at high sweat rates. The sleeveless design creates no additional material layers under aerodynamic sleeves, and the raw-cut edges prevent friction points. The flat profile and racingFit silhouette ensure that the layer remains virtually invisible under race jerseys and doesn't restrict freedom of movement.

Applications and Benefits

This base layer shows its strengths on hot summer rides in Switzerland, during intense intervals, or grueling Alpine climbs. Under close-fitting aero jerseys, the sleeveless design minimizes wrinkles and bulk – an advantage confirmed by independent tests of similar ASSOS skin layers for high-summer use. At the same time, the high-level breathability also makes it ideal for indoor sessions on the trainer, where heat and moisture management are particularly critical. This keeps your skin noticeably drier, comfort high, and performance consistent – whether on the road bike outside or training indoors.
