MEN'S BASE LAYER TOPS

Keep your core body temperature regulated with our range of men’s base layer tops. Designed to be used in conjunction with a technical mid-layer and outerwear, our expansive hand-picked range is selected by our expert staff to maximise sweat wicking and enhancing breathability to keep you comfortable and dry, alongside keeping you warm, when tackling the outdoors this winter. Whether you are looking for something for your next ski holiday or a hyper-breathable, warming layer for climbing in the winter, our range is focused on providing you with a wealth of options in fabrics, cuts and weights to ensure you have the right choice for your needs.

These base layer tops are the unsung heroes of winter sports performance. Made from advanced synthetic materials or natural fibres like merino wool, they offer superior moisture management to keep you dry during high-intensity activities. Merino wool options provide excellent temperature regulation, naturally resisting odours for multi-day use on the slopes or in the backcountry. For those tackling extreme conditions, look for tops with targeted insulation zones that provide extra warmth where it's needed most, without compromising overall breathability. Many styles feature ergonomic designs with flatlock seams and articulated sleeves, ensuring unrestricted movement whether you're carving down a black run or reaching for that next climbing hold.

From lightweight, form-fitting options ideal for high-output activities to slightly looser, thermal-weight tops for extreme cold, our collection caters to all preferences and conditions. Some tops even incorporate antimicrobial treatments for extended freshness during long expeditions.

A men’s base layer top is designed to be worn directly against the skin, serving as the foundation of a layered clothing system. Its primary functions are to wick moisture away from the body, regulate temperature, and provide insulation, ensuring you stay warm, dry, and comfortable during outdoor activities or changing weather conditions. 

Popular materials include merino wool, synthetic fibers like polyester, and bamboo blends. Merino wool offers excellent warmth, breathability, and natural odour resistance, while synthetics excel at moisture-wicking, durability, and quick drying. Bamboo is soft, breathable, and naturally antibacterial, making it a good option for sensitive skin. 

Base layer tops should fit snugly, like a second skin, to maximise moisture-wicking and thermal efficiency. A close fit ensures comfort and freedom of movement while preventing chafing. Choose your usual size, and consider whether you prefer compression for muscle support or a relaxed fit for everyday comfort.
