Product Overview
The Base Pro Antibacterial Top is a high-performance foundation layer designed specifically for professionals who require consistent comfort throughout the working day. Constructed from a lightweight, technical fabric, this top serves as a vital component in a layering system, working actively to regulate body temperature. The inclusion of Silver Ion treatment is a deliberate choice for those in physically demanding roles, as it actively combats the bacteria that cause odours, ensuring you remain fresh from the start of your shift to the end.
Key Features
- Silver Ion Treatment: This advanced finish targets odour-causing bacteria, which not only keeps the garment smelling fresher for longer but also extends the overall life of the fabric by reducing the need for aggressive washing.
- High-Performance Wicking: The fabric is engineered to draw moisture away from the skin and move it to the outer surface where it can evaporate, keeping you dry even during periods of high exertion.
- Elastane Integration: With a significant elastane component, the top offers a four-way stretch that allows for a full range of movement without restriction.
- Close-Fitting Design: The athletic cut ensures the fabric remains in constant contact with the skin, which is essential for the moisture-wicking technology to function at its most efficient level.
Design & Performance
The design of the Base Pro focuses on the synergy between its 93% wicking polyester and 7% elastane composition. This specific blend creates a medium-lightweight fabric that feels exceptionally smooth against the skin. Unlike standard cotton alternatives, this technical material does not hold onto moisture, preventing that unpleasant chilled feeling once you stop moving. Its multi-season capability makes it an indispensable asset, providing a cooling effect in the summer and acting as an insulating barrier during the colder winter months.
Why No Customisation?
We do not offer customisation on the Base Pro Antibacterial Top because it is designed to be worn as a base layer directly against the skin. Adding embroidery would introduce abrasive backing and threads that could cause significant skin irritation or chafing during movement. Furthermore, heat-applied transfers could interfere with the fabric's technical wicking properties and its ability to stretch. To maintain the performance and comfort of this technical garment, it is best left in its original state.
Use Cases
This top is ideal for any professional working in a multi-layered environment. It is particularly effective for tradespeople working outdoors, warehouse staff moving between different temperature zones, or site managers who require a professional appearance under a shirt but need the moisture-management of a technical sport-style garment. It is equally suited for year-round use, serving as a breathable single layer in warmth or a thermal base in the depths of winter.

Practical Advice
For a base layer to perform correctly, it should be worn snug to the body. If it is too loose, the wicking properties will be less effective as the fabric cannot move moisture away from the skin efficiently. When layering, we recommend pairing this top with a breathable mid-layer, such as a fleece or a technical sweatshirt, to allow moisture to continue its journey away from your body.
Caring for your product
To maintain the efficacy of the Silver Ion treatment and the integrity of the technical fibres, it is essential to follow the care instructions carefully. Proper maintenance ensures the garment continues to perform its wicking duties and remains odour-free for the duration of its life.
We recommend a domestic wash at a maximum temperature of 40°C using a mild process. High temperatures can break down the elastane fibres, causing the garment to lose its shape and stretch over time. Do not use bleach, as this will damage the technical finish and degrade the synthetic polyester fibres.
This garment must not be tumble dried, ironed, or dry cleaned. High heat from irons or dryers can essentially melt the fine synthetic yarns, resulting in a loss of breathability and a permanent change in the fabric's texture. Simply hang the garment to air dry; the quick-wicking nature of the fabric means it will be ready for use again in a very short space of time.
