There have been massive strides in perfomance enhancing clothing technology over recent years. Not so long ago, only the elite in niche sports would wear base layers. These days, a professional footballer won’t step onto the pitch without a base layer on. Do you need to be faster, lighter, or more powerful? Do you want to prevent injury? Stay warm, or stay cool? A mix of all the above? Base Layer Benefits Still wondering why you need a base layer? This is a list of the advantages that base layers provide the wearer with: Muscle Compression Base layers are also commonly referred to as ‘compression wear’ due to the stretchable fabric that provides the wearer with a tight fitting under garment. This compression of the wearer’s muscles is the key benefit of base layer clothing. By compressing your muscles during and after exercise, a base layer helps greatly reduce the build up of lactic acid in the body. Ever had stiff or sore muscles after exercise? That’s due to the build of of lactic acid in your core muscle areas. Therefore by wearing a base layer top and shorts, you can greatly aid the time it takes your body to recover. Not only will a base layer help you recover faster, the compression element helps prevent injury during sporting activity.  Muscular strains are all too common in high energy sports, especially those requiring quick turns of pace or sudden movements (think football, squash, and more or less any outdoor sport). A muscle strain can keep you out of action for weeks, that’s why professional athletes wear a base layer at all times. By keeping your muscles compressed, but at the same time free to move, a good base layer significantly reduces the chance of muscular strain and injury. Moisture Wicking This is another primary benefit that a quality base layer will provide for the wearer. Most base layers are manufactured from a mix of polyester or nylon, and elastane materials. The elastane (also known as spandex) usually makes up about 10-20% of the base layer, and  is what creates the stretch in the fabric, keeping your muscles compressed. Polyester or nylon usually makes up the other 80-90% and this is what gives the base layer it’s moisture wicking properties. Polyester has particularly good wicking properties, and thus is often preferred to nylon in base layer manufacturing process by the big brands such as Nike and Adidas. Moisture wicking base layers work by drawing sweat away from the wearer’s body during exercise and allowing it to evaporate on the surface of the material, rather than on the skin. With a good compression fit, almost all sweat that is produced is captured by the base layer and evaporates quickly. This provides several benefits, keeping the wearer dry and light during exercise. You want to perform at your peak at all times, but being drenched in sweat hinders performance by increasing body weight and causing uncomfort for the athlete. Wearing a high quality base layer made from polyester or nylon will draw sweat away from the body, increasing comfort and enhancing performance.Temperature Control A good base layer will help regulate your body temperature during exercise. If you’re going to be playing your sport in cold conditions, during the winter or in evenings, you’ll definitely want a base layer designed for this purpose. Keeping your core muscles warm is vitally important for maintaining performance and avoiding injury. Of course a thorough warm-up is essential, but on the coldest of days your muscles will be highly succeptable to injury. Base layers designed for cold conditions often use a thicker fabric than warm-weather base layers, or those designed for all seasons. Naturally, a thicker fabric helps keep warm air close to the body and increase core temperature. They are often manufactured with a brushed inner finish, which offers even better heat-retention. Under Armour and Canterbury both offer an extensive range of base layers designed with cold weather conditions in mind. On the other hand, you might need to stay cool. Again, a quality base layer will help you achieve this. It might seem counter productive to wear an extra layer in an attempt to stay cool, but advances in technical apparell have made it possible to produce lightweight base layers that specialize in evaporating warm sweat from the body, helping you stay cool and light. While you may not wish to wear a full long-sleeve base layers during the summer, a short sleeve or sleeveless layer will help provide you with fantastic compression, wicking, and temperature regulating qualities.
