In this video, Tayson (founder, Outdoor Vitals) tells you all about base layers for adventuring out in the wilderness. He addresses questions and common misunderstandings about what base layers are actually used for. Are base layers meant to keep you warm while backpacking in cold weather or can they be a death trap? What about the materials? What's best for base layers? Cotton? Wool? Synthetic materials such as Nylon and Polyester? How should base layers fit? All that and more are answered in this video.
