Peter Storm Merino Base Layer Crew (2012)

£30.00

A really lightweight merino base-layer, with a bit of added polyester. It feels great next to the skin – soft, itch-free and not too tight – and even though the fabric is quite thin, it does a great job of trapping warmth. As you’d expect from a combination of polyester and merino, it’s very breathable and wicks away sweat really ...

Sprayway Solstice (2012)

£35.00

This base-layer is made from eco-friendly Cocona fabric, made from the activated carbon of recycled coconut shells. It’s really soft to the touch, and the activated carbon wicks away sweat very quickly indeed. It makes the fabric very breathable too. The carbon doesn’t do a lot to prevent bad odours, though – so unless you’re one of those women that ...

Rohan Basis T (2012)

£35.00

A super-soft base-layer with a loose fit and a scoop neck. The fabric is so soft to the touch that you’d swear it has merino in it, although actually it's made from a blend of polyester and elastane. It’s been treated with Rohan’s Dynamic Moisture Control finish, so it wicks sweat away quickly and keeps you dry in warm, humid ...

EDZ Merino Wool (2012)

£40.00

A warm, thick, 100% merino wool base-layer, which for the first few wears will probably feel a little itchy. It won’t win any prizes for style, but definitely scores high for practicality. The fit is super-tight to trap warm air, and allows the fabric to wick away sweat easily too. Also, the body and arm lengths are long enough so ...

Craghoppers Miska

£40.00

A very light fleece and a really comfortable one too, with a luxurious microfleece finish that feels soft against the skin. There’s plenty of stretch in the fabric and it has a lovely high collar to bury your face into, plus decent-length arms that won’t expose cold flesh when reaching forward or upwards. In the hills, it’s an excellent low-bulk ...

Regatta Yasmine

£30.00

A lightweight fleece that provides great warmth for its weight. It’s quite loose fitting, with particularly loose arms and cuffs, and although this makes it easy to pull the sleeves up when you’re too warm, it also lets warm air escape when it’s cold. However, it has got a lovely high collar that locks in plenty of warm air around ...

Finisterre Eddy

£40.00

The Eddy base-layer is amazing because it just won’t smell. Even after a few long days in the hills, there was barely a whiff – a feature that will be fairly high on the agenda for many women in the outdoors! The fabric is luxuriously soft, clinging to the body like a glove to trap warmth and wick away sweat. ...

Technicals Long Sleeve Half Zip

£35.00

Although slightly itchy at first, the 100% merino fabric soon softened to feel wonderful against the skin. It has a high collar to trap warmth and/or protect your neck from the sun, yet the zip pulls down easily enough to provide a welcome flow of air when you need it. Black isn’t a great colour to wear on its own ...

Paramo Cambia Zip Neck

£38.00

Unique because it’s reversible, you can wear the soft honeycomb face against your skin to trap ‘dry’ warmth; or wear the smooth surface next to your skin for a cooler option with excellent wicking. The only requirement is that you make your choice before you head for the hills! Both ways it feels incredibly comfortable and is very quick-drying. It’s ...

The North Face Warm Long Sleeve Zip Neck

£39.00

This is a wonderfully soft and snug-fitting base-layer. It’s extremely lightweight too, at only 100g. In fact, the warmth feels almost invisible. The cut is long, and the arms and body easily cover the wrists and hips. It comes with a zip neck for great versatility, and the stretchiness in the fabric means the cuffs pull up easily to the ...

Lowe Alpine Full Weight Dryflo Zipneck

£40.00

Relaxed styling and a fairly short, active cut makes this a great choice for days when you might wear a base-layer on its own. The Dryflo fabric is fairly heavy-duty, with a soft, warm inner lining and smooth outer. Its best feature is its moisture management: it really does help to keep your skin dry, even when you’re working hard. ...

Rohan Shimmer Shirt 2010

£45.00

The Rohan Shimmer Shirt is billed as ‘Technology disguised as clothing’, and it certainly is stylish. The material stretches, dries quickly, keeps the sun off and wicks perspiration away, but somehow it feels uncomfortable next to the skin. Try it on first, and if that’s not an issue for you there’s plenty to recommend it: hidden zip pockets, drying loops ...

Golite Wicklow Polo 2010

£40.00

The Golite Wicklow Polo is an exceptionally comfortable top that does suggest a ladies’ golfing event. The cool material feels better able to cope with hot days trekking, and it’s still smart and presentable enough for a night out on the tiles. There’s a small zip pocket hidden away in the seams that could easily foil a would-be pickpocket. Review ...

Craghoppers Nosquito Susi 2010

£45.00

The Craghoppers Nosquito Susi is a very flattering shirt made of cotton: not ideal for a long day’s walking but the kind of thing I’d like to have in my pack for an evening exploring. There’s an internal zipped pocket at the chest and loops inside so you can hang it up to dry. No extra venting so although this ...

Mountain Hardwear Ramesa 2010

£35.00

Lots of venting on the Mountain Hardwear Ramesa 2010 top makes it an ideal choice for walkers in hot climes: perfect for the trail, and pretty enough to be worn out afterwards. The sleeves, although short, aren’t as high as others. An in-seam zipped pocket gives an extra bit of security and the material is suitably cool, comfortable and easy ...

Lowe Alpine Aruba Shirt 2010

£35.00

The Lowe Alpine Aruba Shirt is a surprisingly pretty top in a good technical fabric that is comfortable, and easy to clean and dry. There’s a passport-sized pocket at the chest with a secure zip, but this probably isn’t where you’d want to stash your travel documents. No venting areas, but it should perform well in all but the hottest ...

Royal Robbins Boulevard 2010

£40.00

The Royal Robbins Boulevard is a safari-style top with four pockets and a tie waist. The sleeves can roll down to full length or be button-secured to give a good-looking short-sleeved look. It’s very comfortable but as it’s white it won’t look great after a day of anything more than sightseeing. And it’s slightly see-through, so not for countries with ...

Vaude Micro Mikeli 2010

£28.00

Plain, lightweight, great colour, almost shiny and close-fitting: the Vaude Micro Mikeli, a 100 per cent polyester top, feels very comfortable, but it does have a tendency to cling to extra flesh so you need to have the figure to deal with it. It boasts ‘Bluesign’ credentials, which means it’s been made responsibly, and has UPF50+ sun protection. Review by ...

Paramo Cambia Sport Long Sleeved T-Shirt base layer

£30.00

An incredibly comfortable base-layer – the fabric is so light and stretchy you’ll hardly notice you’re wearing it. It’s reversible – wear the honeycomb fabric against your skin for comfort in cool conditions, and the smooth side for super-fast wicking in warmer conditions. The figure-hugging design works well on its own as an outer-layer, or as a base-layer in cool ...

Golite Drimove BL-2 Long Sleeve Zip base layer

£35.00

A wonderfully lightweight base-layer that feels soft and cool against the skin, and the sporty design works well on its own as an outer-layer. The high zip-neck collar traps warmth or lets warm air escape, and the fabric has enough stretch to allow the sleeves to pull up easily to the elbows. In the hills it performed very well, especially ...
