Function
Moisture Management:
The primary function of the base layer is to keep the skin dry by wicking sweat away from the body. This helps to regulate body temperature and maintain comfort during physical activity.
Temperature Regulation:
By managing moisture, the base layer helps to keep you warm in cold conditions and cool when it’s hot, making it versatile for varying weather conditions.
Comfort and Fit:
A good base layer should fit snugly against the skin without being restrictive, allowing for a full range of motion. The materials used should be soft and non-irritating to prevent chafing during long tours.
Odor Control:
High-quality base layers, have natural antibacterial properties that help to reduce odor, keeping you fresh even after a long day on the slopes.
