Best base layers for men according to redditors

Layers. 10°C isn't particularly cold when you're climbing (or hiking the approach) so you'll want options. I'd probably be wearing long underwear, normal climbing pants, a thermal shirt over a t-shirt and a light jacket/puffy.

Maybe try to look thru the bottom of this page, there are a few with dragons and medieval themes:

Take it from an outdoorsy kid: hoodies are bulky and take up space in your bag, you're much better off bringing a light wool shirt. Something merino will keep you warm even when you're wet from sweating and doesn't take up much space if you're going without a locker.

Here you go!

I'm totally with you on anything that hugs my neck. It makes me very uncomfortable.

I have the women's version of this pullover, and it's a wonderful combo with the base layer

Raven has some sweet viking/nordic themed gear: the Berserker has bears on it. This link is for the rash guard but they also have spats and shorts:

You will die in those jackets. Literally.

Here's my winter setup.....

1. Jeep cap. Keeps the sun out of your eyes and it keeps you warm. You can get them at Ragstock for 5$
   
2. A pair of good winter gloves, and a pair of those cheap stretchy winter gloves. Wear the stretchy winter gloves underneath the thick winter gloves. A good tip on whether a pair of gloves are going to be warm, is if you hold a McDonald's cup of ice water tightly against them. If you can feel the cold cup, then they're no good. If you can't, then stay with them.
   
3. Your legs will get cold too, so buy a pair of base layer pants. Maybe double up. Wear them underneath your regular pants.
   
4. Get a good pair of snowpants to go over your regular pants. Again, McDonald's cup of ice water trick.
   
5. Get a base layer shirt to go underneath your regular shirt.
   
6. Get a good, thick jacket. Do the ice water thing for the jacket too. My personal favorite kind of jacket is an ice fishing jacket.
   
7. Ski goggles. Sounds weird, but your eyes will get cold too.
   
8. [A neoprene mask] (https://www.amazon.com/ZANheadgear-WNFM114H-Black-Neoprene-Half/dp/B000LVZVNE/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=neoprene+mask&qid=1573108443&sr=8-1) . They keep your face warm.
   
9. 2 good pairs of wool socks. Yes, 2. It gets that cold.
   
10. A thick pair of high top skateboard shoes, if you're going to avoid getting winter boots. High top Osiris shoes are good alternatives to winter boots. But you're going to have to get them waterproofed. They're naturally thick.
    
11. Ice cleats.

Bought my brother this as a Birthday gift

You came to the right place!

I live off Quercus Grove and ride the MCT Trails to the Bus and then take the Bus to Downtown STL.

I combo wool buff with a cap like this Helmet Cap (couldn't find the exact one I use but this is a lot like it).

I also use Barr Mitts plus thin gloves on days like today.

For layers I like Omniwool

I apologize in advance if this is the wrong place to post but I was wondering if someone could clarify if these long sleeved rash guards are ranked? I happen to like the black one better than the white and was wondering if it would be looked down upon to get that one. Thank you!

Is this the right one? Smartwool Men's Base Layer Top - Merino 150 Wool Active Long Sleeve Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01HMUO5II/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_OBLMDbW389JYB

Can it be found in REI?

Smartwool makes an ultralight short-sleeved base layer that's great for cycling.

I would rock that with bike shorts (wool shorts suck TBH) and pack a lightweight windbreaker or windvest for descents or if you run cold.

I've done 4 Spartan races - all sprints - but in a variety of temperatures and conditions.

I'm not about showing my junk either, so I go for a "superhero" style layering approach. Here's my go to gear:

• Tesla Long-Sleeve Compression Shirt: https://www.amazon.com/TM-T11-BKRZ-X-Large-Tesla-Compression-Baselayer-Sleeve/dp/B01MT5X19B/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1492570859&sr=8-1&keywords=Tesla+Men%27s+Cool+Dry+Compression+Baselayer+Mock+Long+Sleeve
  
• Sub Sports long compression pants: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002VCPVHW/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
  
• Champion Performax running shorts with a rear zip pocket: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00S0JDCDU/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
  
• Mudgear compression socks (amazing!): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00TSLYU5I/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
  
• Ironclad Box Handler gloves: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00004WZRJ/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
  
  For shoes, I've run 4 races and done lots of training in between in the same pair of Reebok Nano 4s. Not exactly specialized trail running/OCR shoes. But I just love their durability, foot protection, and their traction really shines on the climbing obstacles. I wouldn't mind upgrading but I just can't seem to wear this pair of shoes down! I expect they'll last at least another 4+ races.

This is the one that I ordered

GC2B had a period of time where they were on amazon but it appears they stopped that. I guess it caused too many issues.

Edit: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01M8QMUQR/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1482804677&sr=8-1&pi=SY200_QL40&keywords=underworks+997&dpPl=1&dpID=41tafdPKVfL&ref=plSrch

Thats an underworks 997 which I have heard great things about, I believe its a full torso binder though, so your chest and stomach are flattened. I'm not sure if they are worth some of the prices they are listed though

So like this bad boy?

Smartwool Baselayer Top

“try personal hygiene...” not sure if funny-ass or just ass, but i giggled before cringing so...

On a serious note, it does kinda exist sorta. What youve asked for covers an insanely broad spectrum of conditions but, there are some things that come close

Merino wool, from fancy brands better than cheap brands, of a very light weight, will be comfortable to sleep in, can wear during the day without looking like a technical trekking uniform, and is naturally microbial so it resists getting stninky... to a point. As for keeping you warm, well, thats a variable thats harder to measure. What works for one person may not work for another

Smartwool NTS 150 weight merino crew neck long sleeve shirts are probably pretty close to what youre looking for

Smartwool Men's Long Sleeve Shirt - Merino 150 Wool Baselayer Pattern Performance Top Light Gray https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01HMUOSNK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_vfIMDbPWE72VF

or...

Patagonia Capilene everyday cool, or Outdoor Research Echo ling sleeve crew neck shirts are a synthetic version. Theyre not as snuggly comfy as high quality light merino wool but theyre usually cheaper and always lighter. Bonus - the Capilene and Echo stuff can be washed in a sink at the end of a day and be ready to wear in the morning
