Baselayer for the Wool Allergic

[Kasha]

Smartwool is smart itch for me. What is the best synthetic baselayer for winter running and walking in Massachusetts? So disappointed, the Smartwool stuff in berry is so pretty.

Thanks

Hi @Kasha - Thanks for reaching out! Sorry to hear those wool options don't work for you. Thankfully, there are some great synthetic base layers out there that will hopefully keep you more comfortable than the wool you’ve tried.

Do you prefer a lightweight or mid-weight base layer while out on your walks and runs?

For mid-weight layers, we suggest taking a look at the following:

• Co-op Midweight Base Layer Crew Top
• Patagonia Capilene Midweight Zip-Neck Base Layer Top

If you're looking for a lightweight layer to wear under warm jackets or during lots of activity, we suggest looking at these:

• Kari Traa Fryd Lightweight Base Layer Top

• REI Co-op Lightweight Base Layer Crew Top

Hopefully this helps!
