Baselayers & Shirts Keep your cool when it’s warm – but stay ready for anything, too… THE MASTERCLASS FORCLAZ TREK 500 MOUNTAIN TREKKING LONG-SLEEVED T-SHIRT Cool, light, flexible, breathable, odour-free, functional, fashionable – we ask a lot of our baselayers and shirts, especially in summer. Sometimes we’re after a casual look, sometimes we’d like something that looks and feels ready for big adventures. The best baselayers can bring all those attributes together in a product you can wear all year round – and here is a superb merino top to prove it… LIGHTWEIGHT Hardworking though it may be, the greatest virtue of a good baselayer is in not realising you’re even wearing it. At 243g (large), the Trek 500 is featherlight considering its sophisticated construction. HALF-ZIP Polo neck shirts might be cooler in general, but a half-zip gives you greater versatility – zip down for maximum breathability on hot days; zip up to keep the draughts out when it’s chilly out there. FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT Look for a decent degree of built-in stretch, so your movements stay smooth and uninhibited on the go. High quality merino like this has stretch for days. ODOUR CONTROL Synthetic fibres can handle odours pretty well – but nothing beats merino wool for dispersing unpleasant odours, giving a baselayer that can run for days between washes without you scaring people away. BREATHABILITY This is probably our biggest concern with a baselayer, especially in the heat of summer. Look for something like this one, which uses natural merino wool to wick away moisture and maintain your arms and torso at a comfortable temperature. ABRASION RESISTANCE Your baselayer will often be sandwiched between your skin and an outer layer, probably with a rucksack harness pressing down on it too. So look for subtle seams and a soft polyamide yarn to prevent abrasion.
