Lightweight fabric is perfect for activities such as hiking, walking or cycling. It provides a layer of protection without adding bulk.
These materials provide warmth in colder conditions, enabling your body to maintain a comfortable temperature.
Antipill technology uses longer threads to prevent the material from pilling or "bobbling". This ensures the fabric is better preserved and is more resistant to abrasion and rubbing.
Microfleece is a lightweight, breathable synthetic fabric that is soft to the touch. Often used as a lining for added warmth, it is long-lasting and easy to care for on the move. Great for travelling.
Breathable fabrics let moisture out quickly and efficiently. This technology means that perspiration can escape, avoiding dampness in the fabric. This makes it ideal for indoor and outdoor activities, or travel in warmer climates.
Easy Care clothing can be washed repeatedly in an everyday washing machine cycle using regular detergent. The fabric's strong, durable structure is strong enough to withstand the washing process and last a long time.

Base Layers are worn for one of two reasons; to keep you warm & dry or cool & dry. It is important to select the right one, depending on your needs.
Which Fabric?
- Synthetic: Good for cool conditions, work well down to about -10*C when worn with ski outerwear. A good-value option for winter sports beginners.
- Merino Wool: Regulates body temperature in both warm & cold climates. Tiny air pockets draw excess heat away from the body, but also retain heat in colder conditions (down to -20C). This works even when they get wet! It is also UV resistant & Suited to more extreme conditions.
- Polyester: Quick-drying, lightweight & wick away moisture from the skin. Good middle ground for staying cool or warm.
What Size? A base layer should be tight fitting so it traps air next to the skin to insulate the body from the cold, or quickly move perspiration to the surface to evaporate off.
At Mountain Warehouse we have been developing the very best outdoor gear for all the family since 1997.
Unlike other outdoor retailers, we don’t carry lots of different brands. In fact, almost all the products we sell through our stores, website & online are exclusive to Mountain Warehouse – you won’t find them anywhere else.
Why do we do this? Well, by designing our own top quality products and having them made to our exacting standards, we can cut out the middleman. So that means you get the exact same quality, but at significantly lower prices than you’ll find at other shops.
Everything we do is focused on serving our growing group of customers who like what we have to offer: the best gear, the best service and the best prices.
We would love it if you joined them.
