Layering tops with a polypropylene fleece lining

When engaging in outdoor sports, especially water sports, you undoubtedly know that the weather will not always be warm and sunny. With that said, base layer clothing is essential for keeping you warm.  Base layers are the most important layers and are worn under your wetsuit or just under your boardshorts and quick dry water shirt.

Polypropylene is a material often used by the military as base layer clothing. This synthetic material helps the wearer stay warm and dry without all of the bulk which some other clothing materials can cause. They give you the added layer of clothing and take away the moisture while being lightweight in general. Polypropylene materials are perfect for watersports and for under a wetsuit, when you need a bit of added warmth.  Unlike lycra rashguards that retain water and keep you cooler, polypropylene shirts will wick away the water to allow it to dry quickly and keep you warmer.
