The Etxeondo Termico Bask Long-Sleeve Jersey featured here at Escapa is a long-sleeve thermal jersey designed to provide warmth, breathability, and protection against light moisture. Its Thermosystem Hydrorepellent fabric helps maintain body temperature and limits water penetration without hindering the release of excess heat.

With a recommended temperature range of 12 to 20 °C, it’s particularly well-suited for mid-season training sessions and rides, when conditions may alternate between cool temperatures, wind, and occasional rain. Weighing just 231 grams, it provides balanced protection without adding unnecessary bulk.

Thermosystem Hydrorepellent Fabric

The Thermosystem Hydrorepellent fabric combines elastic fibers with a thin, water-repellent outer layer. This construction resists water penetration and helps protect against drizzle and splashes, while maintaining the garment’s thermoregulatory and breathable properties.

The technical yarns help expel excess heat to the outside and limit the entry of cold air. In this way, the jersey helps maintain a stable temperature as the intensity of your pedaling changes.

* The water-repellent treatment is designed for humidity and light rain. It is not a substitute for a waterproof jacket during heavy or prolonged rainfall.

Balance Between Insulation and Breathability

The Bask combines moderate thermal insulation with high breathability. Etxeondo rates this garment 3 out of 5 for thermal insulation and 4 out of 5 for breathability, making it a suitable choice for active rides in mild or cool temperatures.

Its ability to wick away excess heat helps control moisture buildup during climbs, while the thermal fabric provides protection when the intensity decreases or a descent begins.

Water and Wind Protection

The outer finish offers water resistance rated by Etxeondo at 3.5 out of 5, while wind protection scores 3 out of 5. These features make the Bask a versatile garment for changeable weather, though it can be paired with a windproof vest or a waterproof jacket when conditions worsen.

Anatomical Fit for Cycling

The pattern is designed to precisely conform to the cyclist’s anatomy and strike a balance between compression, elasticity, and freedom of movement. Etxeondo rates the Bask’s fit at 5 out of 5.

The fabric’s elasticity allows you to maintain an athletic position on the bike without restricting movement in your arms, shoulders, and back. The snug fit also prevents excess fabric from bunching up and promotes greater aerodynamic efficiency.

Three separate rear pockets

The jersey features three separate rear pockets to organize the essentials you’ll need during your ride. They allow you to distribute nutrition, tools, and lightweight clothing without concentrating all the weight in a single compartment.

The pockets provide space to carry:

- Energy bars and gels.

- Cell phone.

- Spare inner tube and tire repair kit.

- Gloves or arm warmers.

- Compact windbreaker vest.

Green Pocket

The Bask includes a Green Pocket, a dedicated pocket designed to hold wrappers and small pieces of trash generated during your outing. This solution allows you to keep them separate from the rest of your gear and carry them back to a trash can.

Waist Adjustment Strap

The waist adjustment strap helps keep the jersey properly positioned while riding. It reduces shifting of the garment and helps the back panel stay in place even when the pockets are full.

Reflective Details

The reflective detail on the back improves visibility when illuminated by other vehicles. This element provides additional safety during rides at dawn, dusk, or in low-light conditions.

SPF 50+ sun protection

The fabric provides SPF 50+ sun protection against UVA rays, a useful feature during long training sessions and rides on clear days in transitional seasons.
