Why It Matters
“A lot of people assume baselayers are just for warmth. But almost anything will keep you warm. The real test comes when you’re working hard and sweating. Because sweat is inevitable. What matters is how your kit handles it.”
- Dan Summers, Harrier Technical Advisor
Picture the classic trail scenario: you're grinding up a climb, building heat. Then you stop. You take a drink. Suddenly you're freezing. Your baselayer is damp, clinging to your skin, and pulling the warmth out of you.
The Thorpe blend is engineered to:
- Wick moisture fast
- Stay warm when wet
- Breathe and dump excess heat
- Feel soft and natural against your skin—all day long
Good kit is for everyone, and you deserve it for your trail running. A quality baselayer means fewer layers to swap, fewer stops, and more time moving well on the trail.

How do I wash it?
Machine Wash: Use a delicate or wool cycle.

Stains: Rinse promptly with cold or lukewarm water.
