Materials & Care
Fabric Content
93% Recycled Polyester,7% ElastaneMade in AL
Caring for your cycling gear properly will extend its life and maintain its performance, fit and quality. Its important to consider these instructions carefully. While we stand behind the quality of our apparel, not adhering to these instructions will void our warranty against manufacturing & defects.
We strongly recommend washing your new gear before wearing it. Youll find that your apparel will soften, and fit & comfort will improve after washing - especially with bibs & shorts.
Machine wash cool, 86F (30C) with like colors: Cooler temps maintain better longevity for your apparel. Like colors, especially lights, will remain more vibrant when washed with like colors.
Use mild detergent. Do not bleach or dry clean: Strong detergents & bleach can break down the fibers and elastane in the garment, dramatically reducing its life.
Close all fastenings: this goes also for other garments mixed in with your cycling apparel. Velcro closures or clasps can catch on stitching or trim and damage your garments.
Lay flat to dry. Do not tumble dry: Do not put your cycling apparel in the dryer. Even on low heat. Dont do it. Heat can damage fabric, elastic and heat transfer logos very easily. Lycra (Elastane) is used throughout our garments to provide compression and support and is susceptible to damage from heat and can irreparably damage your apparel.

Sizing Guide
Our jerseys and bib shorts are intended to be form fit, providing compressive support, maximizing the performance of the fabrics, and reducing fatigue and chafing. Please use the charts below to help determine your optimum size. If you find that you are on the upper or lower end of height and weight for a given size, the garment will have more or less compression respectively. In areas of overlap, multiple sizes will work — choose between the smaller or larger option for more or less compression.
Still unsure or need help? No problem! Email us at service@velocio.cc. Remember that every piece is backed by our Signature Guarantee.

United StatesGreat Item - Order Smaller than Usual
This is a good base layer, but rides quite low in the back if you load up the pockets, to the point where it sat well below my t-shirt. I'm going to try a size or two smaller to see if that alleviates the issue. I ordered my usual size per the chart and the fit felt fine prior to filling the pockets.

United StatesGood solution for no bike jersey
I bought this base layer to wear under light long sleeve shirts that have no back pockets to avoid putting on sun screen. It works well for my intended purpose and does not seem to be overly hot even in summer weather. I do wish the pockets were a little deeper, but this is definitely better than no pockets if you are used to wearing a three pocket bike jersey.

United StatesSizing is way off
I'm 5'10/11 and 165lbs. Clearly in the medium size range per the Velocio chart. Purchased a medium and then exchanged for a large and the large is still very tight. I get that it's a base layer and meant to be snug but I think the sizing of this particular item is off. I'm a small or medium with other companies and never a large. I'd probably be more comfortable in an extra large but didn't want to go through the hassle of the exchange again. Three stars as the idea is great but the sizing needs to be corrected.

United StatesPockets on a base layer, brilliant!
The best thing about this bit of kit is the pockets. I can stash my phone, wallet and keys snugly to my body and cover them with a main layer. Especially nice when wearing the Velocio trail tees, which don't have pockets.

United StatesDelivers as designed...
I have been using this under the Delta Long Sleeve for my rides when I want to be “pack free”. The additional pockets work great for stashing some energy chews, my Ultralight Vest, or even car keys. The material wicks away sweat quickly, and best of all, I never notice it once it is on. At first I thought it might be a little too short - the front barely meets the waistband for my Trail Shorts. But, once I am on the bike, I would not want it to be any longer. For reference, I am 6’1”, 190 lbs, ,and ordered a size Large.
