FAQs

What is the primary purpose of this baselayer?

The primary purpose is to provide thermal insulation and keep you warm during cold weather activities by retaining body heat.

What activities is this baselayer best suited for?

It is recommended for fitness, walking, hiking, skiing, trail running, and general cold-weather outdoor activities.

How do I determine the right size?

Refer to standard UK sizing charts for women's apparel. The garment is designed for a close fit, so consider if you prefer a tighter or slightly looser feel when choosing your size.

Can I wear this as an outer layer?

While it can be worn on its own in mild conditions, it is primarily designed as a baselayer to be worn under other insulating or protective layers for optimal warmth.

What is the fabric composition?

The fabric is composed of 65% polyester and 35% viscose.

How does the zip neck help?

The zip neck allows you to easily adjust ventilation, helping to regulate your body temperature by letting heat and moisture escape when needed.

Is this baselayer suitable for very high-intensity sports?

It is suitable for activities like trail running, but for extremely high-intensity, prolonged exertion where heavy sweating occurs, breathability might be a consideration compared to specialized synthetic sportswear. The zip helps manage this.

Troubleshooting

Basalayer feels too tight

Ensure you have selected the correct size. If the fit is still too snug for your preference, consider layering with looser outer garments or choosing a different style if a very close fit is not desired.

Reduced warmth after washing

Avoid using fabric softeners during washing, as they can reduce the thermal insulating properties of the fabric. Ensure the garment is completely dry before use.

Zipper is difficult to move

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to free any obstruction. If the zipper remains stiff, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a specific zipper lubricant can be applied sparingly.

  • Adjustable zip neck allows for ventilation control.
  • Suitable for a variety of active pursuits.
  • Close fit makes it an ideal layering piece.

Cons

  • Close fit may not be comfortable for those who prefer a looser feel.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This is a ready-to-wear garment. No setup is required other than putting it on.

Compatibility: Designed as a baselayer, it pairs well with mid-layers and outer shells for various outdoor activities. Its close fit makes it suitable for wearing under jackets, fleeces, or waterproofs.

Care Instructions: To maintain the thermal properties and fit of the baselayer, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at a low temperature (e.g., 30°C or 40°C) with similar colors.
  2. Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can clog the fibers and reduce the fabric's thermal efficiency.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or, preferably, dry flat or hang dry away from direct heat sources.
  4. Ironing: Do not iron. If necessary, iron on a very low setting, avoiding any printed logos or labels.
  5. Bleaching: Do not bleach.
