Insulating and promoting quick drying, the Kari Traa Malia HZ women’s baselayer long-sleeved shirt is a comfortable, high-performance technical underwear. This top is made from merino wool and TencelTM Lyocell, fibres known for their softness and breathability. Thanks to the composition of its fabric and to strategically placed panels, it promotes optimal moisture wicking. Soft to the touch, it is pleasant to wear as the first layer of a multi-layer system. In this system, layering is the key to keeping you dry and warm and to using your energy efficiently. A good sequence of layers moves moisture away from your skin, conserves or dissipates heat, and provides you weather protection. The first layer, worn next-to-skin, will provide warmth and quickly wick moisture away from your skin. The second layer, the insulation or fleece, provides warmth while also dissipating heat during periods of intense effort. Finally, the third layer, the shell, which is the most weather-protective layer, is worn on the outside of all other layers.
