The SAYSKY Base Layer Guide

Base layer for every adventure
Winter is creeping in, and layering up is non-negotiable. No athlete got time for freezing legs or cold lungs. That’s why our base layers come in clutch. In the SAYSKY universe, we offer 3 three distinct types of base layers - each designed with a specific level of warmth and function.

Selecting the right base layer for each situation is essential for every runner aiming to optimize performance while staying comfortable, whether it's to prevent getting too cold or overheating. In this guide, we'll explore the three base layers available in the SAYSKY lineup, providing you with valuable insights to help you make informed choices about what to wear and when.

Merino 165 Base Layer

Our Merino Base Layer provides warmth and comfort in cold weather. Merino wool is a four season material and great for every activity. It breathes and manages moisture better than any other fiber and is therefore ideal for layering in the colder months. Highlights include its odor resistance, temperature regulation, breathability, natural fiber, biodegradable/renewable, and superior comfort.

Features
  • Breathability: 4/5
  • Sweat-wicking: 3/5
  • Warmth: 5/5
  • Weight: 3/5

Recommended use: 

  • Mainly for comfort and warmth on cold training days, and as a crucial component in most layering setups.
  • Temperature range: merino fabric has a fantastic ability to regulate your body temperature, but we mainly recommend this for cold-weather sessions (-10 to 5 degrees/15 to 40 fahrenheit).
