Base layers? do you wear them?

[JaySmith]

I had my Icebreaker on today Jay, was a but much!

Lifa would have been perfect.

I've had 5 days out of it, though, and the pits just smell of Sure for Men.

A Smelly Hansen would have probably climbed for me after 5 days!

 

Rab Baseline hoody looks good, bit gimpsuit-ish like, and over £60, but I want one!

Yeah temperature has picked up! I really like those helly Hansen ones as they are thin enough to stop you sweating out. I've got a couple of the nike ones and they are good if it's real cold otherwise I find I overheat. Saying that those HH ones don't really keep the wind out so horses for courses. I've seen those rab ones in go outdoors, look good but think you'd look like an extra at a funky club up town!

I've had a hh lifa on today, they are good but for me the rab cocona are great. Part merino, part coconut or something. Have an ice breaker as well but the rab one is just as good and cheaper.

I bought some trojan ones from arco, and they're pretty decent.

I'm down with the kids mate.

Everyone at the disco says so.

Another who wears them year round. Love Merino, but my latest fad (and I do do fads) is bamboo fibres. Think they may be the best light base layer I've ever worn.

I do also like the HH baselayers.

Just got one of these and it's great.

Also have some of these, lighter, but tighter.

That bamboo stuff is the business

Makes for a great summer sock as well.

The secret weapon re base layers is M&S microfiber underpants. Very fast drying when you get a wet arse. Shirts make good base layer tops.

I tend to wear under armour and a few thin layers also have a stein top that's not too bad. The key is thin layers and remove one if you get to hot you do not want to sweat or you will get cold.

Yeah, the Rab one is nice mate... you nearly didn't get it back. Me and Matteo were fighting over it. I won when I pointed out it wouldn't even fit the Italian Stallion.
