Review: Another Great Helly Hansen Base Layer - This men's base layer, from Helly Hansen, is designed to be like a second skin, wicking moisture away from the body and helping to keep you dry and comfortable- and it lives up to the hype! The top is of typical Helly Hansen quality. BUT- as I have found for all HH gear, it runs small (my husband is normally a Large and the X-Large is a good snug fit). It's super lightweight and breathable. Warm when standing still but breathable during activity. The top is a nice slim cut and looks good too. He is currently wearing it in the snow in Niseko Japan and it's keeping him very warm under a standard fleece. Machine washable and quick drying, so it's versatile as well. Review: The Perfect First Layer - I perspire a lot, particularly with exercise. Long ago I learned about the virtues of polypropylene. Any cold weather activity with cotton underwear is a sentence to being cold. I have tried many brands of polypropylene first layers. They frayed, they pilled, they tore and developed holes. Then I discovered Helly Hansen. Top price, but I had been disappointed by all others. WOW. Worth every penny. Years of use of their first layer with no cotton and I am warm and dry when snow shoeing, XC skiing, snow blowing and hunting. Use a second layer of standard polyester pile, and you can do single digit temps, with vigorous exercise and still be warm and dry. This is one item that going cheep doesn't work. When you are outside, wet and cold, price doesn't matter. Go for the top on this one. HH makes them well, and they last, and they work. Just one physician/engineer's opinion.
