Why functional base layer fabrics dry quickly and have a cooling effect

Base layers are designed to be worn next to the skin and provide user comfort by maintaining body temperature and regulating moisture. The fabrics used have high moisture transport properties (moisture is distributed over a large area), are quick-drying and breathable. It is therefore necessary to maintain these properties when caring for base layers.

Base layers must be cared for properly to keep them in top condition

To maintain the function of base layers, they must be treated with care when washing. The use of conventional household detergents or fabric softeners can damage the moisture-wicking properties because the fabric retains moisture. This leads to reduced moisture transport capacity and slower drying of the fabric. Over time, bacteria and body oils form, especially in synthetic base layers, which then start to smell. When using conventional detergents or fabric softeners, odors are not sufficiently removed. Instead, they are just overlaid by fragrances and quickly leave you with smelly base layers!

Wearing a base layer benefits every outdoor active person

All active people should use base layers for effective regulation of body moisture and temperature. Hikers, runners, cyclists and mountaineers use base layers to maintain comfort during their activities.
