10 Reviews: Best Base Layers for Snowboarding (Apr 2024)

Begin with this Smartwool long-sleeve base layer, which will wrap around your skin and keep it warm even in such cold weather. It is a lightweight base layer made with core-spun technology that will not make you bulky when worn with outerwear. Including a nylon core material for extra durability while keeping your skin soft.

I love my tie-dyed version of the long-sleeved base layer. The material is comfortable and the fit is trim and flattering.

This time, Smartwool offered the innovative Intraknit™ Merino 200 1/4 Zip, which was created specifically for every active man out there. This base layer is made not only of merino wool for extra warmth, but also of polyester for quick drying, allowing your body to stay cool even after long hours of snowboarding.

Super comfortable...so comfortable I wear them as much as much as I can.

If the previous one is designed for men, this one is designed for women. As the name suggests, it has a 1/4 zip design with mesh ventilation in gender-specific zones to help keep your body dry and warm as you zip up and venture out in style. Furthermore, thanks to the 5 color options available, you can get the one you want.

This is truly one of the most comfortable base layers I own. It truly feels like nothing next to my skin . I used to be a snowboard instructor and have tried a fair amount of base layers and this is my favorite. I don't board without it. I also love it because it doesn't ride up - so I'm not constantly fixing it like other tops I own.

This ultimate printed base layer is here to help you have a wild time on the slopes. Yes, it is intended to be a lightweight base layer that can be worn as comfortably as possible. Furthermore, the material used is extremely stretchy, giving you the impression that this is your second skin. This base layer is not only great for snowboarding, but it is also great for any other outdoor activity you enjoy.

This top is stylish, very warm and my ‘go to’ layer..beats thermals any day of the week!

The next layer is a breathable base layer that keeps you cool by quickly drying your sweat. It’s a lightweight and versatile base layer that you can wear however you want, whether as a layer or on its own. Premium material with stretch comfort allows you to wear it for long periods of time without feeling bulky.

I probably have 15 of these tops. Great as a midlayer skiing or just around town under a jacket during the fall and winter. Highly recommended.

Next, Patagonia’s base layer is here for you. As you can see, it has raglan sleeves, which give you a lot of freedom of movement. Furthermore, it has a diamond-grid pattern that provides warmth, breathability, and moisture wicking, thus you shouldn’t hesitate to pick this one!

Already love this shirt. Amazing technology. Runs a little tight as it should. Keeps you dry and warm but then doesnt make you sweat when you warm up. Highly recommend. Terrific quality. Designed extremely well.

Comes with a thermally efficient zip-neck foundation, this base layer is perfect to wear in such cold weather or temperature since it guarantees your body to feel warm. Don’t worry, the fabric used is also moisture-wicking, so that you will stay cool in case you wear it in normal condition. You can’t doubt the comfort feel because it is designed with flatlock construction.

I recently purchased this fleece and I absolutely love it. This is one of my favourite Arc’teryx pieces, it’s so warm and fits snug to your body. This would be one of my top recommended products.

As seen in the image above, it’s a ninja suit base layer that is specially designed to wrap around your entire body, keeping you warm every time you wear it. This suit is made to be soft against your skin, so you can wear it with ease. Furthermore, the material used is stretchy and naturally odor-resistant, so there’s no reason to pass this one up. Oh, and it has a long and convenient zipper to make it easier to put on.

Best baselayer I've ever used. The front and rear zippers are perfect. The merino wool version is the way to go.

by Jacob

This base layer is made of 51% RWS-certified merino wool and 49% recycled polyester, providing complete body protection. It’s moisture-wicking, odor-resistant, and dries quickly, so you can imagine how comfortable it is to wear.

Surprised with how warm yet how light this layer is! Fit is great and truly have been impressed with how it breathes but still keeps me warm. Once again, nice work Patagonia!

This half-zip top base layer, which comes in three colors, can be your best friend when it comes to keeping your body warm in the winter. As you can see, it has a feminine cut that will definitely enhance your look if you wear it alone. You can’t deny the warmth and moisture-wicking properties of this one thanks to the merino wool material used.
