To start a good layering process, it all begins at the base. The base layer is the part that is closest to the skin, and its main job is to wick moisture away from your skin. This keeps you dry, while the insulating mid and outer layers bring the warmth. As a result, base layers tend to be more technical in nature, but recent updates in the quality of wool products has brought more of a natural feel to a lot of these products. We have awesome base layers for men, women, and kids in a variety of weights and thicknesses. Brands like Arc’teryx, Mons Royale, Patagonia, Smartwool, and Hot Chilly's lead the charge, but there’s a lot more available. The base layer is the key to a long and successful day on the slopes, as it provides dryness, comfort, and a great foundation for the rest of your apparel.
