The classic Hot Chilly synthetic baselayer the Hot Chillys Micro Elite Chamois Ankle Women's Tight is the tight women hope for when they see “synthetic performance baselayer.” A stretchy wicking and fast drying polyester and spandex blend these are designed to move with you as a second skin, and rebound to reduce bagging. A nice wide mid-rise waistband that doesn’t bind, and a gusset for extra movement, these are the starter pack of synthetic baselayers, uncomplicated but technically excellent, designed to be flexible and easy to move in with a smooth face fabric that slides comfortably under other baselayers. Considered a footless tight these are not “leggings” in the sense of streetwear, you’ll want to have a sport skirt handy if you’re whipping off your ski pants for a more comfortable ride home, they are the base of baselayering systems. If you’re adding another layer, a midlayer tight for example, these second skin baselayers are the warmth without bulk, moisture managing, layer that goes on first for their ability to do their job without twisting or bunching. Because they’re designed to have a second skin fit if you’re between sizes, size up. An easy care baselayer treated with Bio-Silver to inhibit the growth of odor causing bacteria and a staple in outdoor cold weather sports.
