It’s very stretchy and has a structured weave with ridged sections over the upper front and the back and sides. The fabric is soft and a mix of 80% polypropylene with 20% polyester. This ensures good wicking too and the baselayer never felt damp or clammy even on slow hot climbs.

Watch: How to dress for hot conditions

The Morpho Senza’s airflow isn’t as good as in some other summer weight baselayers, due to the closed fabric.
