Why we recommend wearing a technical base layer for a healthy, beneficial habit.
A base layer is an insulating layer that keeps you warm
It also absorbs moisture to leave your skin dry by wicking perspiration away to the outside. It also helps maintain your internal body temperature at 37°C during exercise, in both hot and cold weather.
It dries very quickly. It can continue to do this over a longer period by wicking perspiration to keep you comfortable for longer.
What our design team has to say
We're always listening to our users, and as a result we've crafted a product that meets the needs of more experienced players. In the heart of the action, the pace of play picks up and the intensity varies more. Clothing must be ultra breathable to regulate your body temperature during the most intense phases of play. Your base layer shorts should also be close-fitting in order to quickly absorb perspiration while keeping your body warm.
Fabric choice
These base layer shorts are made from a weave that blends a polyester thread (66%) to help wick away perspiration with a polyamide thread (29%) for greater softness and no unpleasant odours. These two threads, combined with elastane, ensure excellent comfort and a second skin effect.
Thermal regulation
The combination of the fabric and the seamless technology offers excellent thermal regulation so you can play hard without getting chilled.For ideal product effectiveness, it must be worn in direct contact with skin, fitting like a second skin.
Coordinated
The range of available colours makes it easy to match with shirts and shorts worn in training and matches.
