Attaquer Summer Base Layer review: Tested during a British heatwave and on a 13-hour ride

A really good summer base layer can be tricky to find at times, so when I land on one I really click with, I find myself reaching for it often. This summer, that’s been the case for me with the simply-named Summer Base Layer, from the Australian brand Attaquer. 

I wear a base layer for pretty much every ride I do, if it’s super hot, I’ll maybe leave it off, but I live in the UK, so generally, I feel more comfortable wearing one. In the event of a crash, I also like the idea of an extra (albeit thin) layer between my torso and the tarmac.
