Sub Sports Mens Thermal Long Sleeve Mock Turtleneck Top, Brushed Fleece Inner for Warmth, Base Layer Vest, Moisture Wicking, Semi Compression Fit, Available in 6 Colours

Product Information

After months of winter wear, we can attest this women’s base layer kit is a top performer. We especially love the softness and next-to-skin comfort as well as the ease of layering. The durable construction feels denser than a handful of our other favorite base layers, like the Le Bent Women’s Lightweight Crew Base Layer, which is super soft but less durable and cozy compared to this classic grab. The Giro Chrono isn’t cheap, but what you get is a tremendously durable and versatile baselayer that all our testers were unanimously positive about. Speaking of warmth, the Smartwool Women’s Classic Thermal Merino Base Layer Crew and Bottom are likewise midweight, 100% merino wool designs — so which kit is warmer? Technically, the Smartwool setup is a fabric weight of 250 gsm.

If you’re using your base layer for major cardio output, opt for a lighterweight design like the Helly Hansen Women’s HH LIFA Long-sleeve Crew Base Layer. This everyday basic is made with eco-conscious recycled Tencel Modal that is super soft, stretchy, and flattering. It has a body skimming fit that highlights your curves and goes up to size 3X. For a Spanx product, though, we were hoping it would provide a little bit of compression or shaping, as that is what the brand is most known for.Enter: Nike base layers, created with specialised technology to minimise moisture build-up and regulate body temperature. They're built with the right amount of compression to provide support without sacrificing range of motion. We love that Everlane is committed to using recycled materials, applying sustainable practices, and creating an ethical working environment for its employees. This sweater is made from recycled cashmere and recycled wool, utilizing 90 percent less raw material carbon emissions. Some reviewers do note that the fabric is a bit scratchy, but washing should eliminate that. Our base layer collection includes a variety of materials, including wool, cotton, and synthetic materials. We have base layers in a variety of colours and styles, so you can find the perfect option for your needs. We have base layers with long and short sleeves. We also have base layers in a variety of sizes, so you can find the perfect fit. This blend is lightweight for the density and warmth provided. The material and seams hold up through arduous usage beneath snow pants and work pants in all seasons. They aren’t quite as stretchy as other baselayer options we tested, but we appreciated the inverse effect of not sagging. As a result, we don’t particularly like using the top’s thumbholes, which feel a bit too restrictive. It’s a good option for really chilly rides, but a little too warm once the temperature heads up over 5ºC, although it handles sweat well and stays dry. The synthetic fabric does get whiffy though and this didn’t entirely wash out in the laundry, so this is one for day rides rather than multi-day trips.

You won’t want a long-sleeved baselayer if all your jerseys have short sleeves. In terms of versatility, short-sleeved baselayers will work with long- and short-sleeved jerseys but won’t be as warm in winter. You may find the sleeves bunch up around your shoulders, especially underneath some of today’s closely tailored tops.

What are baselayers made from?

We wish this sweater came in more color options, like neutrals, for more variety. If you’re feeling flamboyant and colorful, however, either of these beautiful colorways will enhance your wardrobe.
