Japanese baselayer brand Zero t has arrived in North America with a collection of game-changing products that ensure plummeting temperatures won’t stop motorcyclists getting out on the road or track this Fall and Holiday season. Designed by a passionate team of innovators and baselayer specialists, the Zero t Heatrub Ultimate is the most technically advanced baselayer on the planet and completely di erent to any other product you’ve ever worn before.

WHAT MAKES IT SO GOOD?

1. It’s ve times warmer than a standard baselayer

That is quite a claim, but it’s a fact. Tested at the iconic Boken Institute in Osaka, the Heatrub Ultimate baselayer recorded a Heat Retention Rating of 0.78; a standard baselayer would have a rating of between 0.1 to 0.14. And for reference, a sweater would typically have a rating of 0.3. The Ultimate performs best in a temperature range of 14° Fahrenheit thru 50° Fahrenheit – so even in the coldest of conditions and most biting of winds, you’ll still be nicely heated.

2. Instant warmth the minute you put it on

A standard baselayer traps body heat between your skin and the material, so it takes a little time before you feel the bene ts. With Zero t, ve separate fabrics, along with a patented knitting process, create instant warmth as soon as you pull it on. And, because of the construction of the garment, this heat is retained for the duration of your time on the bike, making it an essential piece of clothing for motorcyclists this winter.

3. On bike heating from top to toe

The Ultimate is perfect for motorcyclists who hate traditional tight baselayers, because unlike many brands we don’t use ‘compression for heat’ as a technology. Instead, innovative ‘Heat Threads’ on the inside of the garment gently rub against your skin to create positive warmth across your body. We also produce Ultimate Leggings and Socks that are made from the same material and work in the same way, so you can have top-to-toe warmth.

4. Ride free with fewer layers and greater warmth

Over the years, you may well have ‘layered up’ in order to combat the e ects of cold weather. This is where we are changing the game. The Heatrub Ultimate is so good at keeping you warm, you won’t need multiple additional layers. In short, fewer layers yet greater warmth. And unlike other baselayers, because it doesn’t need to be super tight in order to work, it’s incredibly comfortable too on even the longest of trips.

The Ultimate baselayer is perfect for the coldest of conditions, but it is complemented by the Heatrub Move ($76), which is twice as warm as a standard baselayer and ideal for milder temperatures of between 23° and 53° Fahrenheit. It features a 45% polypropylene construction on the inside of the baselayer and a hollow polyester shell that combine for ‘Adaptable Warmth’, keeping you cosy when you’re at a standstill yet regulating temperature and ensuring you don’t overheat as your ride progresses. The construction removes sweat from the skin and evaporates it o the surface of the baselayer quickly, so that nasty feeling of ‘cold sweat’ never materialises.
