Protective L/S base layer
BikeRadar verdict
"Feels like a second skin and we like the price too"
If you're looking for state of the art technology in your base layer then Protective is the one.
It uses 'Multisensor Silver', which is a double layer material which wicks well and contains silver ions that allegedly inhibit bacterial growth, keeping the top odour-free. We liked the soft touch allied with the tighter elastic, yet unrestrictive fit. The washing instructions are woven into the seam fabric, preventing chafing from labels - a nice touch. Protective says it's hi-tech, and it certainly gave a hi-tech performance. Men and women's versions.

User review of Protective L/S base layer
I bought two of these on the strength of the Cycling + review. Lovely tops. I wear them under a soft-shell jacket in winter, under a thin rain jacket in spring and autumn, or under a short-sleeve jersey on cool days.
The top looks good (if un-flashy) on its own. It is really comforting to put on under a warmer top after (for example) a two-hour ride in the rain or an early-season open water swim.
I will be very sad when mine wear out. They have no faults.
