Base Layers/Thermal Underwear

 

Amersham Outdoor Sports offers a range of base layers/thermal underwear from the following suppliers:

 

Helly Hansen LIFA | Paramo | Trekmates Silk |

 

Helly Hansen’s LIFA range

What is LIFA®?

LIFA is the name for Helly Hansen’s base layer garments, which are designed to be worn next to the skin.

In order to be comfortable, your skin needs to stay dryLIFA base layers help this happen: they are made from polypropylene, which pushes moisture away from the body to keep it dry and warm.

 

Polypropylene is a hydrophobic fibreThis means that polypropylene - unlike cotton or wool - does not absorb moisture so the fabric stays dry next to your skin.  In addition, tests have proven polypropylene to be much more efficient than other synthetic fibres, such as polyester, at transporting moistureThe result? You stay drier.  It works on the theory of body heat transferLIFA uses body heat to push moisture along its fibres to the outside of the garment, where the moisture quickly evaporates or is taken up by the second layer.

 

Polypropylene has other qualities that make it an excellent choice for base layer clothingIt is soft on the skin and lightweight to wear.  It is non-allergenic and a good insulatorIt also retains its shape, which allows the best fit for each individualA close-to-body fit, combined with excellent elasticity, prevents any moisture being trapped between skin and LIFA, and allows free passage of perspiration and heat.

 

More good news - LIFA is permanently resistant to bacteria so, even after prolonged use, it does not retain odour. This is because LIFA is made of endless multi-filaments of polypropylene twisted together to form a single-filament yarn Without fibre ends, there is nowhere for odour-generating bugs to bed in, and no opportunity for the fabric to pill.
