Men's Technical Base Layers
Men’s technical base layers for sport and active outdoor use
Choose according to activity and weather
Our range includes thin sport base layers suited to cool conditions and thicker models built for colder weather, for hiking and winter sports. The thinnest base layers aren’t ideal for hiking: they start to feel clammy quickly when you stop for a break. The right outdoor base layer keeps you comfortable by adding a touch of insulation to your outfit and moving moisture away from your skin.
Regular or mesh base layer?
The Finnish brand Svala has built a loyal following over the decades with its mesh base layers. They work in both cold and warm conditions: in the cold, you add a close-fitting mid layer that creates hundreds of air pockets together with the mesh. In warm weather, a loose-fitting shirt lets air move against your skin, and the mesh material keeps the fabric from sticking to it.
A quality base layer is a durable choice — in more ways than one
The manufacturers we represent are committed to responsible production — many materials are recycled, and each brand has its own sustainability programme. Technical base layer tops and bottoms also stand up to long use and repeated washing, which makes a real difference to the sustainability of a product’s life cycle.
Unlike merino wool garments, technical base layers are worth washing often — that’s how they stay feeling fresh.
