💢💢 Top 5 Men’s Base Layer Tops of 2021 💢💢
👉 #1: Best Overall Base Layer For Men: SmartWool Merino 250
[ Ссылка ]
Made from 100% Merino wool, this base layer excels at regulating temperature, wicking moisture, and providing for microbial resistance. It’s definitely an all-in-one package. For such lightweight material, this base layer is impressively warm.
What I like most about the SmartWool Merino 250 is due to the ultra thin nature of the fibers, they flex against the skin, making for a super soft, comfy fit.
What I don’t care for about this base layer is that it does tend to stretch in between washes.

👉 #2: Best Synthetic Base Layer Top For Men: Patagonia Capilene Midweight
[ Ссылка ]
The top is constructed from 100% recycled polyester material — making for an appreciated eco-friendly option. The layer provides for top-notch warmth and moisture-wicking capacities. Patagonia applies an anti-odor treatment to this top, as well, allowing you more wear time in between washes.
What I like most about this base layer top is how affordable it is compared to Merino alternatives in conjunction with its comparable quality.
What I like less about the Capilene MidWeight is that the temperature regulation is less than stellar and it doesn’t have the same soft feeling of wool against your skin.
----
👉 #3: Best Budget Pick: MeriWool Midweight
[ Ссылка ]
If you are looking for an affordable base layer that offers the same performance as Merino Wool options without the hefty price tag, you’ve likely met your match.
The company integrated ultra fine Merino wool fibers into its construction. Despite being made of wool, this mid weight top is surprisingly breathable, too, making for a great choice for high intensity activities. It’s important to note this extra breathability does reduce the warmth of the top, making it an ideal choice for wearing in spring and fall.
What I like most about this base layer is that its made from 100% Merino Wool yet costs only $60.
What I don’t like about this top is that the extra fine wool can make you feel itchy for a while until you’ve worn and washed it a few times.

👉 #4: Best Base Layer For Wearing In Cold Weather: Woolx Glacier Merino
[ Ссылка ]
This heavyweight top is constructed from 100% Merino wool and is available for an affordable $120 price — given the layer boasts about twice as much wool as comparable alternatives. Although it is breathable, it isn’t best suited for high intensity activities.
What I like most about the Woolx Glacier is its impressive value for such a warm winter base layer.
What I don’t care for about this product is that the crew cut style is not very comfortable to wear for long periods of time.

👉 #5: Best For Using In Warmer Temperatures: Smartwool Merino 150
[ Ссылка ]
If you’re looking for a breathable, lightweight layer effective at wicking moisture on those warmer days, look no further — you’ve found it.
Smartwool integrated nylon fabric into this primarily Merino wool top to boost its durability. It weighs in at only 6 ounces — making it feel like you’re wearing nothing at all.
What I like most about this base layer is that it’s easy to stash away into your pack on summer nights.
What I don’t care for so much is the extra thin material requires extra care — both during and after use — to ensure its longevity.
