A purely functional long sleeve undershirt for active wear, made from merino wool, simply the best material you can wear next to the skin. This is a damn good base layer for active, demanding use.

• Active fit: snug and comfortable
• Raglan sleeves: no chafing seams on the top of the shoulders adds comfort when carrying rucksacks
• Flatlock seams: no thick folds that could cause discomfort
• Long hem: the hem is longer at the back to keep it safely tucked in when moving about
• Velcro for Finnish M05 rank insignia on the left sleeve

Merino wool is a fantastic choice for next-to-skin wear, most notably it feels good against the skin and retains it´s insulating properties even when soaking wet.

L1 - Base Layer

The first layer of the Varusteleka clothing system, tasked with moisture management. A good next-to-skin base layer keeps you feeling comfortable in any conditions to do this it needs to be lightweight and effectively moisture wicking. We use a lightweight merino wool blend for our base layers, natural and very functional material for this purpose.
