How to choose a Running baselayer: essential guide to stay cool and comfortable

The choice of Running baselayer, often called "first layer", is a crucial element for a comfortable and efficient race experience. This article guides you through the essential aspects to consider to make the right choice.

• Material: natural or synthetic? 

Baselayer material directly influences your comfort. The options include merino wool, gentle and naturally anti-aeroring, and synthetics, renowned for their speed of drying and their ability to evacuate perspiration. Merino wool is ideal for cooler days, while synthetic materials are perfect for intense activity under high temperatures.

• Fit: near the body but comfortable 

An effective baselayer must marry your body without restricting your movements. Look for ergonomic cuts, with flat seams to avoid irritation. If you have any doubts about the size to choose, it may be useful to consult a professional running underwear or a specialized seller.

• Respiracy and thermal regulation 

Choose a baselayer that evacuates humidity while allowing good air circulation. Technologies such as "body map" offer increased ventilation to areas where the body transpires the most, while providing insulation where it is necessary.

• Sustainability and maintenance 

Consider the sustainability of the product and its ease of maintenance. A good baselayer must withstand multiple washes without losing its thermal regulation properties and moisture evacuation.
