How to choose the right base layer for fall and winter?
Fall and winter is the time for thicker base layers, but what is the benefits of the different base layer types?
We offer 3 different base layer types:
100% Wool
Synthetic
Natural Blend
100% Wool Base Layer
There are many reasons why we love wool. It regulates your body temperature to a comfortable level based on the conditions: It cools you down on hot days, and insulates warmth on cold days. Wool also has the unique ability to keep you warm, even when it gets damp! If you are doing activities that make you sweat a lot, or there is a risk of rain; wool will absorb moisture and still manage to isolate heat. In fact, wool can hold up to 30% of its own weight in moisture and still feel dry. Wool baselayer is also perfect for camping trips because it is self-cleaning. All you have to do is hang the wool garments up for airing, and they feel fresh again for the next day. The unique breathability of the wool also makes it very comfortable to be active in, because it prevents you from becoming clammy.
Conclusion: If you are going on longer trips on the mountain with unstable weather, you should choose wool baselayer.

Technical Base Layer
Synthetic baselayer is usually made of artificial fibers such as polyester, often added elastane to ensure full freedom of movement. It provides a material that is excellent for high-intensity exercise because it wicks away sweat from the skin, dries quickly, is durable and feels comfortable to workout in.
Conclusion: If you're going to train hard, get sweaty (and have access to a shower afterwards …), a synthetic base layer is your best choice.

Wool Blend
We have developed several varieties of baselayer that combine wool with synthetic fabrics. The combination of quick-drying and moisture-wicking properties of synthetic fibers, and the heat-insulating properties of the wool, gives you the best of both worlds. A wool blend is therefore perfect for high-intensity activities in the cold.
