The Best Base Layers to Keep You Warm

Strip down to basics with our favorite blended, merino wool, and synthetic tops….

Base layers are important. There’s no other garment you wear more often outdoors, so you need to be sure it’s a good one. 

The two thing I look for most when buying a base layer are how lightweight it is and whether or not it has a hood. If your base layer is too heavy and warm, what can you do? You’ll start to sweat, and sweating in cold weather is dangerous. A hood is also supremely handy when you’re hiking in just your base layer and want extra warmth or protection from the sun. There are a lot of base layers out there; few are terrible, but few really stand out either. These are our favorites.
