Complete Technical Specifications


Bamboo Fabric Technology

Bamboo fibres provide natural antibacterial properties that resist odour buildup during extended outdoor activities. The high wicking capability moves moisture away from the skin, while fast-drying properties maintain body temperature regulation during variable activity levels.

The soft-touch fabric offers enhanced skin contact without the irritation that wool fabrics can cause, making this base layer suitable for sensitive skin types during extended wear periods.


Layering System Design

The close fitting design works as part of comprehensive layering systems for cold climate activities. Flatlock seams reduce pressure points and chafing during movement, while the durable construction maintains shape through regular washing cycles.

This base layer functions effectively under mid-layers and outer shells during hiking, climbing, mountaineering, and winter outdoor activities across Scottish Highlands, Welsh mountains, and English countryside environments.

What activities is this base layer suitable for?

This base layer works well for hiking, climbing, mountaineering, winter sports, bushcraft, and any outdoor activities requiring temperature regulation and moisture management.

How does the fit work for layering?

The close fitting design works as the foundation layer in comprehensive layering systems. It sits next to the skin and accommodates mid-layers and outer shells without bulk or restriction.

Does bamboo maintain its properties over time?

Yes, bamboo fabric maintains its antibacterial properties, wicking performance, and softness through regular use and washing. The durable construction holds its shape and performance characteristics.
