Keep warm this winter with the best base layers
When it comes to keeping warm, it’s all about layering. And, according to many, the most important layer for the winter months is the base layer.
Whether it’s a beautifully-soft merino wool base layer set or a simple polyester thermal T-shirt and Long Johns, baselayers are an easy way to keep out the cold.
Those who spend long periods of time outdoors during the colder seasons know the benefits of a decent base layer for winter. Just ask any gamekeeper, beater, builder, joiner, gardener, or anyone who works outdoors and doesn’t have the choice to come indoors when the temperature drops.
Choosing the right layering system can help keep you outdoors for longer, comfortable and focused on the task in hand.

Marvellous Merino
The best Merino Wool Base Layer may cost more than a budget base layer, but the benefits are worth it. Merino Wool works like a ‘telepathic’ fabric. Its small air pockets draw excess heat from your body but retains warmth within its fibres, so you stay comfortable whether it’s hot or cold.
Merino wool is naturally anti-bacterial so won’t retain body odour in its fibres.
