Men's bottoms

Choose the right base layer for your activities

It's easy to prioritise a jacket or other tops when preparing for an upcoming season, sport or outdoor activity. However, it's easy to forget about the base layer. To make sure you have the best outdoor experience possible, whether it's on your walk to work on a windy autumn day or during a long-awaited hike or ski trip, the choice of trousers, shorts and base layers is a high priority. It is the garment that gives you the protection you need from wind, rain or snow and helps maintain an even body temperature. As with the choice of tops, choosing the right garment for your legs is also important, and you can combine different types of bottoms for the best comfort. Base layer trousers act as an extra layer on the skin and wick away moisture during strenuous activities, while the outer trousers should be designed to allow you to move freely, sit on wet surfaces or protect your knees when climbing.
