I'm on the sportsauthority site and I'm confused.

I'm under the impression that baselayer stuff is really thin and snugger (like long underwear)...to put under a performance top, which will usually be a bit heavier-weight and looser-fitting.

In my closet the one I happen to put on first is the base layer and the one I put on second is the performance top.

I usually take Ennay's approach...but I think a real base layer is like what Zoomy said...thinner...and you prolly wouldn't want to wear it by itself cause it will be tighter and thinner.
