Stio Base Layers

Stio base layers are the ultimate foundation for your outdoor adventures. Designed with comfort, performance and durability in mind, our base layers are perfect for staying warm and dry in various weather conditions.

Base layers are meant to provide an extra layer of insulation while also pulling moisture off your skin. That's why these layers are perfect for hikers going from cold to warm conditions. If you start a hike in the morning when it's chilly, you'll want an extra layer to keep you warm. As the day goes on and the sun comes out, you'll appreciate the moisture-wicking capabilities of your base layer.

There are tons of options for baselayers depending on the conditions you'll be hiking in. Maybe you need a classic thermal layer with a zip neck to keep you warm. Or, maybe you're seeking a midweight baselayer made from Merino wool with odor prevention and other features. Many heavyweight baselayers and lightweight baselayers offer similar features, including odor resistance and wicking moisture capabilities. So depending on what kind of performance piece you need, you can find apparel that does it all.

Stio has base layer options for men, women and children in long sleeve and short sleeve options. Our base layers efficiently regulate body temperature by moving sweat away from your skin. This thermoregulation wicks moisture and keeps you comfortable and prevents the chill caused by dampness, ensuring optimal performance during intense activities.

With their ergonomic design and tailored fit, our base layers offer excellent freedom of movement. The stretchy and lightweight materials allow for unrestricted mobility, making them ideal for layering or as standalone pieces in milder weather. The smooth seams minimize friction and provide a comfortable next-to-skin feel.

From the backcountry to the urban landscape, Stio's base layers provide the foundation for comfort and performance. Embrace the versatility and functionality they offer and elevate your outdoor experiences to new heights. Don't forget to explore our additional outdoor gear to find quality apparel for your next adventure.

What are base layers?

Base layers are the foundational garments worn closest to the skin during outdoor activities. They are designed to provide thermal insulation, moisture management and comfort, helping regulate body temperature in various weather conditions.

What are the benefits of wearing base layers?

Base layers offer several benefits. They provide warmth by trapping a layer of air close to the skin, insulating against cold temperatures. Base layers also wick moisture away from the body, keeping you dry and preventing the chill caused by sweat. Additionally, they offer a comfortable, next-to-skin fit and can be layered under additional clothing for added warmth.

How should base layers fit?

Base layers should fit snugly against the skin without being too tight or restrictive. The close fit helps trap a layer of warm air and allows for efficient moisture transfer. Additionally, a proper fit ensures optimal freedom of movement and layering capability without excess bulk.
