Men's Technical Base Layers

A base layer is the most important factor in comfortable clothing: the undershirt and underwear are in direct contact with your skin and transfer moisture away. Technical base layers made from synthetic fibers are an excellent choice for sporty use, as they wick moisture to outer layers the fastest.A base layer is the most important factor in comfortable clothing: the undershirt and underwear are in direct contact with your skin and transfer moisture away.

Men’s technical Underwear for Sports and Active Outdoor Activities

Choose Based on Purpose and Weather

Our selection includes thin base layers suitable for cool conditions and thicker models designed for colder weather, perfect for hiking and winter sports. The right outdoor base layer ensures comfort by adding a touch of insulation and effectively wicking moisture away from your skin.

Traditional or Mesh Undershirt?

The Finnish brand Svala has garnered a loyal following over decades with its mesh base layers. These work well in both cold and warm conditions: in cold weather, pair them with a close-fitting mid-layer, which, combined with the mesh, creates hundreds of air pockets. In warm weather, a loose-fitting shirt allows air to circulate on your skin, and the mesh material prevents the fabric from sticking to your skin.

A Quality Base Layer is a Sustainable Choice - in Many Ways

The manufacturers we represent are committed to responsible production – many materials are recycled, and each brand has its own sustainability programs. Technical undershirts and underwear are also highly durable, standing up to frequent use and washing, which significantly impacts the product’s lifecycle sustainability.

Technical base layers should be washed frequently, unlike those made of merino wool, to keep them feeling fresh.
