An indispensable, moisture-managing baselayer for ski touring and other high-output pursuits in cold conditions, the Basis Power Wool™ Tights feature a highly breathable, layered construction that offers the benefits of both natural and synthetic fibers. Made in the US with Polartec® Power Wool™ fabric, the Basis features soft, ultra-fine merino wool next-to-skin to wick moisture, and a quick-drying polyester outer that adds strength and durability. The fabric also features a high-efficiency grid backer, which traps warm air, aids in moisture transfer and makes for faster drying. Flatlock seams make for chafe-free comfort, and the streamlined, low-profile cuffs easily pull up or tuck into your ski boots.
Polartec® Power Wool™ fabric keeps you warm and dry during year round aerobic activities with an innovative bi-component knit that combines the distinct advantages of natural and synthetic fibers. An isolated merino wool interior and a synthetic fiber exterior create a hybrid construction that optimizes wicking, breathability, dry times, odor resistance and durability. The comfy wool interior provides warmth even when wet and is highly breathable, while hydrophobic polyester reduces dry times and offers durability, resulting in a textile that performs under any conditions, all year long.
