Rhino Baselayer Short Sleeve Top - Maroon

The Rhino Baselayer Short Sleeve Top is a 260gsm compression base layer built to sit directly under club kit. The 90% polyester / 10% elastane blend gives a genuine form-fitting stretch that supports the upper body and wicks sweat away without adding bulk beneath a shirt. Shown here in Maroon.

Key Features

• 90% polyester / 10% elastane: Four-way stretch that holds its shape through a full season of use.
• 260gsm fabric: Enough weight for real warmth in cold conditions without overheating indoors.
• Form-fitting cut: A close, second-skin fit that stays flat under a playing shirt.
• Crew neck: Sits neatly below a collar and does not show above match kit.
• Moisture-wicking and quick drying: Moves sweat off the skin and turns round quickly between sessions.
• Temperature regulation: Insulates when standing still and vents as work rate rises.

Performance Overview

A short sleeve base layer is the year-round option — warm enough to be worth wearing in winter, light enough not to become a liability in a heated sports hall or on a mild spring evening. At 260gsm this one carries genuine insulating weight, and the 10% elastane keeps a full shoulder rotation completely unrestricted, which is the thing a badly cut base layer always gets wrong.

The form-fitting cut is doing the important work. A loose base layer bunches under a playing shirt and traps damp fabric against the skin; a close one stays flat, moves sweat outward and lets the layer above it sit properly. Combined with quick-drying polyester, that means one top comfortably covers a training week.

Benefits

• Warmth under club kit without visible bulk.
• Unrestricted shoulder and arm movement for throwing, passing and contact.
• Stays dry across a full session rather than turning cold and clammy.
• Works across rugby, football and general team-sport training.
