Base Layer Thermal Underwear; Comfort & Warmth.
It begins and ends with base layers (thermals or thermal underwear). Every day we step out there. Base layers are the first pieces of outdoor clothing to go on. And they are the last to come off when the action is done. (And sometimes they don’t even come off before starting it all over again the next day!)
People experience the feel of all their clothing through base layers, because it serves as the connection to skin and body – providing necessary insulation, moisture control and textural comfort.
And when considering the principles of layering, it makes sense that the right choices in base layers have a follow-on effect to the garment choices that are placed over these. From seasoned mountaineers to weekend hikers, the issues are the same: Get the base layers right and the rest will follow.
Not surprisingly, there is considerable depth to the theory and technique of layering – in terms of material, design, construction and weight. And if that’s not enough to weigh up, Wilderness Wear adds a broad dimension of colour choice to it all – believing that taste, style and a bit fun should also be part of the decision making process of what to buy and wear! Be sure: Wilderness Wear has invested more into the question, ‘What should base layers be?’ than any outdoor clothing company worldwide.
