If you buy into this idea you will probably also accept that you should have several of those layers to “layer up” and other myths told on the floors of outdoors stores. This is not an accident – retailers and brands alike try to tell us that this base layer is super thermal (no such thing) and will keep us nice and toasty without any bulk. The question about which base layer is warmest and which one I should get to keep me warm is one of the questions I heard the most in my days in outdoor retail. If you can accept the basic rule that base layers are meant to prevent you from getting cold, not to keep you warm, you are much more likely to buy the right item, be more comfortable when active and stop supporting a vast false marketing system (which we are all against?).īase layers are meant to prevent you from getting cold, not to keep you warm What base layers are meant to do is to prevent you from getting cold – this might sound like semantics, but it is not. Base layers will keep you warmer than being naked, or even wearing a t-shirt, but a real base layer (not so called “ thermals“) is not meant to keep you warm. You may already be ready for an argument about this: “but I am warmer with my base layer” you will probably angrily reply to the screen (though you can comment it at the bottom too…), but wait a second – I have a point here.
