Women's camping base layers

The mission of a base layer or thermal underwear is primarily to manage the moisture produced by the body. This base layer is used to wick away sweat and, depending on the type of physical activity, it should also keep you warm or cool.

To be highly effective, it should be snug but not too tight to transport moisture to the outside while retaining your body heat. A base layer should have good odor protection and keep you warm and dry.
