In Haglöfs' carefully selected range for women, you will find high-quality base layers.
As the name suggests, the base layer is the bottom layer that often lies directly against the skin and therefore requires a material that can effectively transport heat and moisture while being comfortable and flexible.
Designed for all types of activities, the base layers have a stretchy material that allows full freedom of movement. The garments are also made with offset shoulder seams and flatlock seams to avoid chafing and minimize bulk.
Merino wool - insulates heat, breathes and wicks moisture
Merino wool is a commonly used material in base layers as it is both comfortable and functional. The wool equalizes your body temperature through good moisture transport, which gives a comfortable feeling all day on the ski slope or during hiking. During long, active days outdoors, you want to avoid wearing sweaty garments, especially if you are staying in sub-zero temperatures, and then merino wool is a good choice of material in the base layer.
Bottom layer in layer-on-layer use
To be prepared for changing weather and temperatures, there are great benefits to dressing in layers. As mentioned, the bottom layer, the base layer, is there to wick away moisture to keep you feeling dry and comfortable throughout the day. The next layer is the mid-layer, which gives you extra warmth in colder climates. The final layer is the shell jacket and shell trousers that resist wind and wetness. By taking off or putting on layers according to the prevailing weather, you are properly dressed throughout the day. At Haglöfs you will find all the garments to ensure that you are equipped for weather and wind no matter what activity you are engaged in!
