Baselayers

Baselayers provide a practical first layer beneath your workwear, helping to regulate body temperature and manage moisture while keeping you comfortable throughout the working day. They are particularly useful for outdoor roles, cold environments and jobs where workers move between different temperatures.

Choose from thermal tops, leggings, trousers and performance baselayers in a range of fits, fabrics and weights. The collection includes long and short sleeve styles, women's options, merino wool and recycled-fibre garments, as well as underscrub baselayers for healthcare teams.

With options from trusted brands including Portwest, Regatta Professional, Just Cool, Rhino, TriDri and Onna by Premier, you can find baselayers suited to different working conditions and layering requirements.

Choosing Baselayers for Work

The right baselayer depends on the conditions your team works in and how active their role is. Thermal garments are designed to help retain warmth in colder conditions, while moisture-wicking performance fabrics can help manage perspiration during more active work. A close-fitting layer can also sit comfortably beneath uniforms without creating unnecessary bulk.

For colder outdoor work, consider long-sleeve tops, thermal trousers or leggings, while lightweight performance styles can provide a flexible option for active roles.

Baselayers for Different Working Environments

Baselayers can be useful across a range of industries, including construction, logistics, outdoor work, tree surgery, coldstore environments and healthcare. Women's and men's styles are available alongside unisex options, allowing you to select appropriate fits for different members of your team.

Layer baselayers beneath polo shirts, T-shirts, fleeces, jackets or other workwear to create a flexible clothing system that can be adapted as temperatures and working conditions change.

Baselayers FAQs

Do thermal trousers work?

Yes, thermal trousers are designed to trap in heat from the body and provide an extra level of insulation, ultimately keeping you warm for longer periods of time.

Do thermals need to be tight?

Whilst thermals should be snug to the body, it is important to make sure they are not restrictive. A closer fit will ensure that the fabric has a better chance of insulating heat against the body.

Are base layers better than thermals?

Base layers tend to wick moisture away from the body, whilst thermals focus on insulating heat against the body. Base layers are better for active people who will sweat, whereas thermals are better for colder weather, where you do not require moisture to be wicked away from the body.

How often do you wash thermal pants?

You should wash your thermal trousers after several wears, however this does depend on activity level. Frequent washing can reduce the quality of the fabrics insulating properties, so follow the care instructions available on the label of your garment.

Do you wear anything under thermal pants?

Thermal pants are designed to be worn alone or over a base layer. Avoid wearing bulky layers underneath, as the closer your thermals are to your skin the better they will perform.
