RIDER REVIEW
Real ride, real test

"The feel and fit is great. Awesome stretchy pockets, so much easier to access than standard jerseys. I've tried it on MTB, gravel bike, and trail running. It's awesome at all of it."

— James Robertson, RSD customer

Description

Ride lighter. Ride longer. Carry what matters without the pack.

The Cargo Base Layer is built for mountain bikers who want freedom from backpacks and hip packs on the trail. Three strategically placed pockets hold your phone, tools, snacks and soft drink bottle securely against your back, so nothing bounces, nothing digs in, and nothing slows you down.

WHY RIDERS LOVE IT

  • Three secure pockets sized for phone, multi-tool, snacks and a 350ml soft drink bottle
  • Moisture-wicking fabric keeps you cool and dry on long rides
  • Close-to-body compression fit so gear stays put over technical terrain
  • Flatlock seams prevent chafing under pack straps or jerseys
  • Made in Australia from 85% recycled polyester

CRASH COMMITMENT INCLUDED

Rip it in a crash? We'll give you 40% off a replacement. Because gear damaged on the trail shouldn't mean buying new at full price. See how it works.

QUESTIONS
Before you buy
How should it fit?

Compression-fit, true-to-size. The fabric stretches to mould against your skin without restricting movement. If you're between sizes, always size up. The size chart link above shows full measurements.

Should I tuck it in?

No. The Cargo Base Layer is designed to be worn untucked so the three rear pockets stay accessible while you ride. Tucking it in defeats the point.

Will it pill or fade?

The fabric is built to last. Our team has worn the same base layers for over a year of regular riding with no stretching, pilling, or fading. Wash cold and air dry to keep it that way.

How do I wash it?

Cold machine wash, air dry. Skip the dryer and the fabric softener. Both shorten the life of compression fabrics.
