Rukka Wool-R Men's Merino Base Layer Shirt Black

The Rukka Wool-R Men's Merino Base Layer Shirt is a long-sleeve motorcycle base layer in Basic Black. Made from 100% high-quality, mulesing-free Merino wool, it is designed to sit comfortably beneath riding clothing while supporting natural temperature management.

Merino wool helps retain body heat in cooler conditions while transferring excess heat away from the skin. Rukka also states that the material maintains warmth when wet. The construction has no irritating side seams, helping reduce pressure and rubbing beneath a motorcycle jacket.

Intended use

The Wool-R is designed as the layer worn directly against the skin beneath a motorcycle jacket or additional mid-layer. Its Merino construction makes it especially useful for cooler rides and touring, while its breathable, heat-transfer properties help the rider remain more comfortable as conditions change.

This is a non-protective base layer. It does not contain armour and Rukka does not list a waterproof membrane, windproof layer or impact certification for this shirt.

Size and fit guide

Moto Central offers the Wool-R Shirt from S to 3XL. Measure around the fullest part of the chest, keeping the tape level and comfortably close to the body. A base layer should sit close enough to manage heat effectively without restricting movement.

If you intend to combine the shirt with additional layers, consider the complete riding outfit when checking fit. Moto Central can also help with sizing in the Wolvey showroom.
