Men's thermals for the hill, the slopes and the cold commute

Whether you are heading up a mountain, onto the piste or out on a frosty morning, a well-chosen base layer makes every other layer work better.

Tops and bottoms

Choose crew necks for simple layering or zip necks to vent heat on the climb. Pair them with men's baselayer bottoms for full-body warmth on cold days, or shop men's baselayer tops on their own.

Merino for comfort and freshness

Icebreaker's 200 Oasis is a lightweight 100% merino layer for year-round use, while the 260 Tech is the warmer midweight version for winter. Smartwool's Classic All-Season bottoms keep 100% merino next to the skin around a nylon core for durability.

Synthetics for hard work and fast drying

Patagonia Capilene comes in Lightweight, Midweight and Thermal Weight, from fast-drying to microfleece warmth. Odlo Active Warm is a fitted, recycled polyester layer built for alpine days, and Helly Hansen Lifa Max is the brand's warmest base layer for low to medium activity.

Frequently asked questions

What base layer weight should I get for winter hiking?

For most Irish winter hiking a midweight layer is the most versatile choice, such as Patagonia Capilene Midweight or Icebreaker 260 Tech. Go lighter if you run warm or move fast, and warmer if you are out in sub-zero conditions or moving slowly.

Should I wear baselayer bottoms as well as a top?

On cold days, yes. Thermal leggings under walking or ski trousers keep your legs warm and dry, and they add very little bulk. On milder days a top alone is usually enough.

Crew neck or zip neck?

A crew neck is simple and layers smoothly under a fleece. A zip neck lets you dump heat on a climb and seal it in again when you stop, which is useful on hiking and ski days.

Can I wear a merino base layer for several days?

Merino naturally resists odour, so many people wear it for several days on a trip without washing. Air it out overnight between wears.

Can I collect orders in store?

Yes, choose Click & Collect at checkout. Orders are usually ready within 24 hours and you will get an email when ready. Available from our Dublin Carrickmines, Dublin Blanchardstown and Cork City Centre stores.
