Women's active life base layers

Women's base layers: stay warm and dry during your outdoor activities

The primary mission of a base layer or thermal underwear is to manage the moisture produced by the body effectively. This first layer helps wick away sweat while keeping you in ideal conditions, whether to keep you warm or cool, depending on the sport you are practicing.

Why choose a form-fitting base layer?

The base layer must be form-fitting without being too tight to be truly effective. It should be able to move moisture outward while retaining your body heat. A well-designed fit ensures optimal moisture management and comfort.

Essential Features of a Good Base Layer

A quality base layer should meet several essential criteria:

• Odor protection: Stay fresh longer during exercise.
• Warmth and dryness: It should keep your body warm while wicking away moisture, ensuring you stay dry even after intense effort.
