Moisture-wicking synthetic or merino wool blends work best. Long-sleeve compression styles provide warmth without bulk. Should fit tight but not restrict swing. Layer under polo shirts and mid layers in cold weather.

Wear in temperatures below 12°C or windy conditions. Essential first layer for winter golf. Morning rounds often require base layer that can be kept on as day warms up. Part of effective layering with golf jumpers.

Snug fit essential for proper moisture management and warmth. Should feel like second skin but allow full golf mobility. Not so tight they restrict shoulder turn or arm lift. Consider muscle compression benefits.

Compression base layers aid muscle support and recovery, while thermal focus on warmth. Many golfers prefer compression in summer, thermal in winter. Some premium layers combine both benefits.

Golf base layers designed for swing mechanics and specific pressure points. More expensive than regular base layers but offer better performance. Consider playing frequency in cold conditions when investing.
