Berghaus Short Sleeve Tech T came 1st in Country Walking magazine’s test of baselayers / active outdoor t-shirts.
Baselayers and Thermalwear
Your baselayer is one of the most underestimated items of gear. You should read more about the importance of baselayers, but the generally you need to make sure they are part of your gear list, in addition to a thermal / fleece mid-layer or insulated layer and a shell / waterproofs.
Berghaus Tech-T Baselayer Product Specification

Here’s Country Walking’s review of the Tech-T’s performance…
COMFORT & FIT 8/10
Perfect cut and length, but I’d have preferred slightly longer sleeves. The polyester fabric felt great next to the skin.
PERFORMANCE 10/10
Dealt with perspiration and dried as well as any, but with less noticeable odour after use than the runners-up. Appealing sporty yet casual looks.
VERDICT 18/20
About as good as a crew neck synthetic T-shirt can be and at an excellent price to boot!
…looks like it’s a winner! You can find a range of reduced baselayers and thermals in the outdoor shop.
