Product Overview
The AWDis Just Cool Active recycled baselayer serves as a fundamental foundation for any professional's layering system. Designed with a focus on both physical performance and environmental responsibility, this garment provides a slim, non-restrictive fit that sits close to the skin to manage moisture effectively. By utilizing recycled materials, it offers a sustainable choice for those who require high-performance apparel without compromising on their ethical standards.
Key Features
- Ergonomic Functional Panelling: Specifically designed to follow the natural contours of the body, these panels minimize friction in high-abrasion areas, ensuring comfort during repetitive movements.
- Sweat-Wicking Technology: The fabric actively pulls moisture away from the skin, allowing it to evaporate quickly and keeping you dry throughout the working day.
- Quick-Dry Properties: Beyond wicking sweat, the material itself dries rapidly after washing or heavy exertion, making it ideal for daily rotation.
- Tear-Away Label: To prevent neck irritation and skin chafing, the internal label can be easily removed, ensuring a smooth finish against the skin.
- Sustainable Construction: Made from a blend of recycled polyester and elastane, this garment supports a circular economy while maintaining high durability.
Design & Performance
Constructed from a blend of 91% recycled polyester and 9% elastane, this lightweight baselayer offers an impressive degree of stretch. This elastane content ensures the garment retains its shape over time, even after repeated wear and washing. The slim fit is intentional; by keeping the fabric in contact with the skin, the sweat-wicking properties are maximized, preventing that damp, cold feeling often associated with lower-quality synthetic garments.
The ergonomic design is particularly beneficial for those in active roles. By placing seams away from high-stress points, the risk of skin irritation is significantly reduced, allowing for a full range of motion. Furthermore, as a Peta-Approved Vegan product, it meets the highest standards for ethical manufacturing.
Why No Customisation?
While we offer branding services for a vast range of workwear, we recommend this specific baselayer remain uncustomised. As a technical garment designed to sit directly against the skin, embroidery can cause significant irritation and chafing. Additionally, the high stretch and moisture-wicking properties of the fabric are best maintained without the application of heat-pressed transfers, which can restrict the garment's natural breathability and elasticity.
Use Cases
This baselayer is an essential component for any outdoor worker or individual operating in temperature-controlled environments such as warehouses or cold stores. It is perfectly suited for tradespeople who require a reliable moisture-management layer beneath their polo shirts or sweatshirts, as well as for those engaged in active maintenance roles where movement and climate control are paramount.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, please note that this is a slim-fit garment designed to be worn close to the body. If you prefer a slightly looser feel, you may wish to consider sizing up. To get the most out of this technical layer, it should be worn as the innermost garment, directly against the skin, underneath a breathable mid-layer or outer shell.
Caring for your product
To maintain the technical performance and longevity of this baselayer, proper care is essential. Synthetic performance fabrics require specific handling to ensure they continue to wick moisture and retain their shape.
We recommend a domestic wash at 30°C or below. Higher temperatures can damage the elastane fibres, leading to a loss of elasticity and causing the garment to sag over time. Avoid the use of bleach, as it will degrade the recycled polyester fibres and weaken the fabric structure.
Do not tumble dry or dry clean this garment. High heat from a dryer can melt the synthetic fibres or cause significant shrinkage. Instead, allow the garment to air dry naturally; given its quick-dry properties, this will not take long. Finally, do not iron this baselayer. The heat from an iron can permanently damage the technical finish of the fabric and is unnecessary as the elastane content helps the garment remain crease-free.
