A black, long-sleeved thermal base layer top with a crew neck, worn next to the skin under a fleece and a jacket on cold mornings, summit nights and winter trips. Read more
This black thermal base layer top has long sleeves and a plain crew neck, and it is worn next to the skin as the first of your hiking layers. Its job is to move sweat away from your skin, so you stay drier and warmer when you stop for a rest or the wind picks up.
Wear it under a fleece and a windproof or waterproof jacket for summit night on Kilimanjaro or Mount Kenya, on cold, misty evenings at camp in the Aberdares, or to sleep warmer in a tent or mountain hut. It is just as handy on a winter trip abroad, under a jumper and a coat. On a warm day hike such as the Ngong Hills you are unlikely to need it while walking, but it is worth packing for an early start.
Sold in one standard size. A base layer works best when it sits close to the skin without feeling tight, and sizing varies between makers, so ask us about sizes by phone or at our shop in Parklands, Nairobi.
Follow the care label inside the top. A cool wash and drying in the shade help any base layer last longer.
