About Women's Base Layers

Base layers are key to keeping warm, so if there's only one piece of clothing you purchase to help keep warm base layers are where to start. Our Women's base layers are made in Sweden from either 100% fine merino wool, or a merino wool blend material, and provide essential wicking and heat retention functions. As wool warms even when wet, and can retain up to 30% of it's weight in moisture before it feels wet, the advantages of wearing it against the skin are numerous - including helping to keep bacteria and odour buildup at bay, and not requiring frequent laundering. As merino wool fibres are fine (less than 22 microns) merino wool is not itchy when worn against the skin (which is how to get the most thermal protection).
