Editors' Choice - SmartWool Nts Mid 250 Zip Thermal

SmartWool revolutionized the base layer industry when they came out with the first "Smartwool" base layer in 1994. Well known for top quality Merino wool clothing products, SmartWool makes an exceptional thermal layer.

Top Pick - Under Armour ColdGear Evo Compression Mock

Like most UnderArmour products, the ColdGear compression shirt fit extremely tight. The shirt is meant to compress your body and provide a snug fit.

Having a skin-tight base layer means more warmth and less bulk for when you need to add insulating layers and shells. Construction of the Evo is 87% polyester combined with 13% elastane means great flexibility, wicking and moisture movement.

Best Buy - ColdPruf Platinum Dual Layer

ColdPruf is a relative newcomer in the market for base layers and the Platinum series shirt and pants are worthy contenders earning our Best Buy award.

Tight fitting with a snug fit, these base layer shirts and pants provide support and compression while the pants' boot cuffs around the ankles and fit snugly. This ensures the the pants stay in place when you add or remove layers or when skiing and snowboarding.

The ColdPruf pants feature a wide elastic waist band which will help the garment sit securely, but comfortably, by spreading the constriction across a wider area of your mid-section.
