Benefits of Base Layers

Cooler weather’s tricky, but a solid base layer shirt has your back. It keeps you cozy in the cool mornings, then wicks away sweat as temps rise. Whether it's our 100% polyester technical shirts or our 50% recycled tees, our shirts help you stay comfortable no matter where the day takes you.

Our base layer shirts are designed to wick moisture away from your body, keeping you dry and comfortable. This is especially important in cooler weather when sweat can make you feel cold if it lingers on your skin. A great base layer should fit well but not be tight, offering breathability and temperature regulation without feeling restrictive. We have base layer shirts for your whole family. Check out our long-sleeves, short-sleeves, and hoodies!

Why UPF 50+ Solar Shirts Crush It as Fall Base Layers

UPF 50+ solar shirts aren't just for summer—they crush it in the fall and winter, too. With moisture-wicking and quick-drying powers, they keep you warm, dry, and ready to roll without the bulk. Perfect for layering when the weather can’t make up its mind. 

What People Are Saying About Our Base Layers

Versatile Shirt!

“This is great for long bike rides even in the summer. But I love it as a base layer in cooler temps as well.”

- Leslie M. 

Comfortable Fabric!

"I received compliments from this hoodie after my first day wearing it! It is a great basel ayer with a vest or 100% comfortable wearing alone. Pro-tip: With the thumb loops, it's awesome on the slopes to keep your hands warm all day long."

- Nathan S.

Great Shirt!

“Perfect for summer wear and provides excellent protection from sun damage. Excellent moisture-wicking base layer for cooler months.”

- Ken G.
