The base layer sits closest to the skin and does one critical job — managing moisture by transferring perspiration away from the skin to maintain a stable, comfortable micro-climate next to the body. Get it right and the rest of the layering system has a solid foundation to build on.
Get the base layer wrong and no mid layeror outer layer fixes it. Moisture trapped against the skin cools quickly — leaving you cold, clammy and uncomfortable regardless of what you're wearing over the top. Swazi base layers are built to prevent that. Merino wool options — including Nuyarn® Merino — naturally regulate temperature and resist odour across multiple days of wear. Microfleece options are lightweight, fast-drying and soft enough to wear directly against the skin all day. Active performance fabrics offer moisture-wicking credentials for high-output days in hot conditions. The foundation of every layering system worth building.
The Bushman's Tee is one of the most popular base layers in the range — a tough 280gsm polar fleece t-shirt with a longer cut, bellow sleeves and a chest zip pocket, built for the people who need their base layer to hold up to daily wear.
