Base and mid layers for building your perfect sailing kit.
Base layers are a key part of the layering process. They are worn next to your skin to help wick away sweat that develops during physical activity, like dinghy sailing, to keep you cool when active and warm by removing sweat before it can give you the chills in cold conditions. A mid layer is a key part of the three part layering system. Worn between a base layer and an outer or shell layer, the mid layer provides warmth and insulation on cold days.
