Moisture Wicking Base Layer
A moisture wicking base layer pulls sweat off skin with synthetics or merino—critical to avoid cotton chill during cold weather training.
A moisture wicking base layer moves sweat off skin through synthetic or merino fabrics—reducing evaporative chill when wind hits damp clothing during cold runs or ski sessions. Avoid cotton tees that hold water against the torso.
Fit should be snug without restricting breathing.
Common questions
-
Is merino or synthetic better for winter base layers?
Both wick well—merino resists odor on multi-day trips; synthetics dry faster on single hard sessions. Either beats cotton; match weight to expected sweat rate.
