Women’s Hiking Base Layers

Below you will find our suggestions for the best hiking base layers for women in various categories (long- and short-sleeved shirts, sports bras, tank tops and underwear). A base layer is a garment that is worn next to the skin, with or without other layers over, depending on the weather (temperature, precipitation, wind). It should wick moisture away from the skin and be breathable and comfortable to wear.
