A brilliant lightweight hoody, it works great when layered and is perfect for backpacking or travel. It uses micro-grid fibers to trap air and insulate the body. The fibers are special as they absorb very little water and so insulate efficiently even under damp conditions. A great comfort top the Micro grid has a relaxed fit, plus it is machine washable and quick drying for easy laundry days.

A classic Henley style t-shirt in Dryflo performance fabric. With anti-bacterial treatment which ensures odour control and Dryflo fabric for permanent sweat-shifting performance, you should only ever need this base layer (or something that does the same job!)

A seamless tee design made with Dryflo next-to-skin fabric offering permanent skin-dry wicking comfort. Fashionable enough to wear on and off the trail.

Staying dry is the key to comfort and skin health particularly for active people and travellers. Natural fibres like silk, cotton and wool absorb perspiration off your skin but because some of the moisture is retained they can feel cold and clammy when activity ends. Modern synthetic fibres can be engineered to wick moisture and made into fabrics whose very construction transports moisture from one side to the other. Underwear made from these fabrics has the ability to wick up perspiration keeping you dry - and comfortable. Little to no moisture is absorbed so you never feel cold and clammy. Laundering is simple, drying extremely quick, and the last great drawback of synthetics, the smell, is now very much a thing of the past. Lowe Alpine Dryflo is amongst the best, being light, soft and comfortable as well as boasting excellent technical performance. Sceptical? You really should try a piece. Colour pale blue (not black as shown). RRP £24.99
