If you are one of those outdoorsy lads then you must appreciate the use of undergarments like baselayer to stay comfortable, dry, and protected from stuff mother nature tries to hurl your way. 

A base layer is an undergarment typically worn close to the skin to help with moisture wicking and protection from weather elements. Baselayer shirts are usually made of materials that can absorb sweat from your body to keep you from baking like a turkey on Thanksgiving. 

Baseyers also help keep warm in cold weather by insulating you in a layer of air that traps heat from leaving your body or keeping you covered and protected from UV burns during sunshiny days. 

But shopping for a baselayer certainly is no walk in the park. Here is a guide on things to consider. If you want a look at some stylish baselayer shirts, please check out our merchandise for some garments that will get you looking dapper than ever. 

Things to Consider When Shopping for Baselayer Shirts

There are many different types of baselayer shirts available, each offering unique benefits. For example, those who fancy natural fiber and its ability to absorb moisture and help keep cool may consider a baselayer made from merino wool. On the other hand, if you're the kind of block that fancies something more lightweight and breathable, you have synthetic options such as spandex, and polyester or a combination like this classy sweater or this quick dry hoodie long sleeve baselayer. 

In any case. It's important to consider the kind of activity you'll be doing.  If you are going to work out in warm weather, consider baselayers made of lightweight and breathable material. These are also the best for those who like layering multiple shirts. On the other hand, if you are looking for baselayers to keep warm in cold weather, those made from merino wool will perform fantastic. 

Furthermore, consider the fit and comfort. You want something that is snuggie, to keep you warm like a bug in a rug but not too tight to restrict proper movement or cutaneous respiration. The fabric should be soft and comfortable, too, since this is something you wear close to the skin. When it comes to style, you have options such as a crewneck, a turtleneck, a buttoned,  a mock-neck, and a hooded design. 

While at it, make sure you get the most bang for your buck. We are talking about durability. Just like any other workout cloth, your baselayer must be made of durable fabric that can withstand wear and tear.

Once you’ve found your baselayer shirts, take proper care of them. All our baselayer shirts come with fabric and care instructions, but in case you forgot, simply check our website and find the proper details for caring for your shirt.
