Base Layers
At Tingstad, you'll find base layers for outdoor work, cold environments, and other situations where you need an extra layer beneath your workwear. Choose from base layer tops, long johns, and complete base layer sets for men and women.
We offer base layers in merino wool, synthetic materials, and various material blends from brands such as Craft, Blåkläder, and Helly Hansen Workwear. The range includes both lightweight options for active workdays and warmer alternatives for colder conditions. Compare materials, fit, and features to find the right base layer for your needs.

Which Base Layer Should You Choose?
A base layer is worn closest to the body and serves as the first layer beneath your other clothing. It can be particularly useful when working outdoors, in cold environments, or when alternating between periods of activity and standing still.
The most suitable material depends on the temperature, your activity level, and the clothing you wear over it.
Merino Wool Base Layers
Merino wool is a good option if you want an insulating layer underneath your workwear. Wool can help retain warmth even when the material contains some moisture, which can be beneficial when working in cold conditions.
There are both pure merino wool base layers and styles that blend wool with synthetic fibres. Check the material composition, as it affects both the garment's performance and care requirements.
Synthetic Base Layers
Base layers made from materials such as polyester or polypropylene are often chosen when moisture management and freedom of movement are important. They can be suitable for work that involves a lot of movement and varying activity levels.
Moisture-wicking performance varies between materials and constructions, so review the product specifications and intended use when comparing models.
Base Layer Top, Long Johns, or a Complete Set?
If you only need an extra layer on your upper body, a base layer top may be sufficient. For work in colder conditions, long johns can be worn underneath work trousers.
If you prefer matching upper and lower garments, complete base layer sets are available. Check what is included in the package and which sizes are offered.
Fit and Layering
A base layer should fit fairly close to the body without restricting movement. Avoid excess fabric that may bunch up underneath workwear.
For cold-weather work, a base layer can be combined with an insulating mid-layer and an outer garment that protects against wind and weather. Adapt your clothing to the temperature and your activity level throughout the workday.
Also pay attention to the care instructions. Wool base layers may require different washing and maintenance than synthetic alternatives.
