High wicking, lightweight technical long sleeve base-layer.
Bionic base layers are constructed from Sportwool a unique fabric that blends the best properties of both Merino wool on the inside of the fabric and polyester on the outside. Merino wool excels at trapping moisture vapour perspiring from the skin whilst Polyester transports that moisture in liquid form and spreads it out enabling the garment to dry extremely fast.
This unique composite construction and performance results in the wearer: 1. Feeling cooler during exercise resulting in the delay of sweat creation. 2. Liquid sweat is transported to the outside of the garment more quickly result in no clamminess. 3. Wearer stays cooler during exercise. 4. ‘Post exercise’ chill is reduced.

Our Verdict
Very light and comfortable to the skin. We like long sleeved baselayers because they can be worn alone in summer or for high energy activity at cooler times of the year... or combined with a featherlite layer (such as the Montane H2O jacket) to provide a basic kit for running or dayhikes.
