Cold / Warm weather Base Shirt (Read 202 times)

posted: 8/1/2008 at 10:27 PM

I will be running Imogene Pass Run in a about 5 weeks. The weather from bottom to top to bottom will likely be very different.

Anyone have a recommendation on a solid long sleeve base that can handle cold weather but does well at higher temps too. I have never owned anything but your typical long sleeve moisture wicking shirt which gets very hot at temps in the 50-70s.

Thanks

Patagonia Capilene 1 base layer.

It's all fun and games until the flying monkeys attack.

FWIW.....I haven't had an occasion to need it under those conditions, but my wife got me an ultra-lite (micro weight) SmartWool tee shirt that may work nicely.......they make them in long sleeve too.

https://www.smartwool.com Look at their apparel......base layer assortment

I am amazed at how warm they can be for something so thin, but they breath and wick nicely. I hate synthetic high-performance wicking fabrics and the SmartWool is worth every penny in my opinion. I have worn their micro-weight long underwear pants under a pair of shorts on runs in 20 degrees and snow and it is perfect for me..........I hate being too hot, but didn't feel cold at all.
