Base Layers

A base layer is a heat-insulating and moisture-transporting layer worn closest to the skin. It’s crucial to remove the body’s moisture from the skin as water conducts heat 25 times more effectively than air. A base layer in synthetic fibers or wool surpasses cotton, which absorbs moisture and dries poorly.

Woolpower LITE possesses all the qualities necessary to keep you warm. However, it can also be used in the summer since the garment simultaneously cools when it’s warm. LITE can also be worn as a first layer under our reinforcement garments. Ullfrotté Original 200 is a slightly warmer base layer that can be worn closest to the skin. It has the same features as Woolpower LITE but is more suitable for colder conditions.

Why we use Merino Wool

Merino wool is an ideal material for base layers because of its natural temperature-regulating properties. Unlike cotton, merino wool wicks moisture away from the skin, allowing it to evaporate quickly, which keeps your body dry and reduces chills. Its breathability and softness provide all-day comfort while preventing overheating, making it perfect for year-round use in both cold and warm weather. This quality makes Woolpower LITE and Ullfrotté Original 200 versatile choices that work well across different seasons and activity levels.

To create a comprehensive layering system, pair these base layers with Woolpower’s mid-layers or socks for maximum warmth and comfort. Explore our gloves and headwear collections, designed to complement the base layers by keeping you insulated in various outdoor environments. Woolpower’s range is crafted to support active outdoor lifestyles, making sure you’re ready for every adventure.
