Product Overview
The B128 Womens Thermal Base Layer Set is a meticulously designed two-piece ensemble engineered for professionals who require consistent warmth without compromising on mobility. Comprising a long-sleeved top and full-length leggings, this set acts as a vital foundation for any cold-weather uniform. By utilising a specialised material construction, it effectively traps body heat while remaining low-profile enough to be worn comfortably beneath standard trousers and jackets.
Key Features
- Full Two-Piece Set: Provides comprehensive thermal coverage for both the upper and lower body, ensuring no gaps for cold air to penetrate.
- Polycotton Blend: Combines the natural, soft touch of cotton with the hard-wearing durability of polyester for long-term use.
- Breathable Material: The fabric construction allows the skin to breathe, preventing the buildup of moisture and heat during periods of physical exertion.
- Next-to-Skin Comfort: Designed with a smooth finish to prevent chafing and irritation throughout a full shift.
Design & Performance
This base layer set is manufactured from a medium-weight polycotton blend, specifically chosen for its ability to balance insulation with moisture management. The 50% cotton content ensures the garment is soft and non-irritating against the skin, which is essential for a layer worn for eight or more hours a day. The 50% polyester content provides the necessary structural integrity, ensuring the set retains its shape and elasticity after repeated washes.
Performance-wise, the material functions by creating a micro-climate close to the body. The knit traps air to insulate against the cold, yet its breathable nature ensures that if the ambient temperature rises or your activity level increases, vapour can escape. This prevents the damp, cold feeling often associated with low-quality thermals, keeping you dry and focused on the task at hand.
Why No Customisation?
As a technical base layer designed for direct skin contact, we do not offer customisation on this product. Applying embroidery or heat-applied transfers would interfere with the garment's elasticity and could lead to skin irritation. Furthermore, as these items are intended to be worn beneath other layers of workwear, any branding would be hidden from view. We recommend focusing customisation efforts on your outer layers, such as polo shirts or jackets, to maintain professional visibility.
Use Cases
This set is an ideal choice for women working in sectors such as logistics, construction, and outdoor maintenance. It is particularly valuable for staff in cold-storage facilities or those conducting site inspections in the winter months. Its discreet profile also makes it suitable for office staff who may need to transition between temperature-controlled environments and unheated warehouses.

Practical Advice
For the most effective thermal regulation, this set should be worn as a snug fit directly against the skin. Any significant gaps will allow heat to escape, reducing the effectiveness of the thermal barrier. When layering, we suggest following the classic three-layer system: this base layer for moisture management, a fleece mid-layer for heat retention, and a waterproof or windproof outer shell for protection against the elements.
Caring for your product
To maintain the thermal efficiency and soft handle of your base layer set, proper care is essential. We recommend a domestic wash at a maximum temperature of 40°C using a mild process. Washing at excessively high temperatures can damage the polyester fibres and lead to a loss of elasticity, which will eventually affect the garment's fit and warmth.
Do not use bleach or dry clean this set, as the harsh chemicals can degrade the fabric blend. We advise against tumble drying; instead, the items should be line dried. The intense heat of a tumble dryer can cause shrinkage and warp the shape of the leggings and top. If you must iron the garments, ensure the iron is set to a maximum of 150°C to avoid scorching the synthetic components.
