Our Altitude range was originally designed as a baselayer, to fit close to your body for maximum performance, so it’s snug but soft, with plenty of give for extra comfort. If you’re usually a medium, for example, you might find the medium fits tighter than you’d expect because it’s designed to be ‘contact fit’ and look and feel like a second skin. If you’re looking for a more relaxed fit you might consider sizing up (it will still be relatively snug) or choosing another style.

The Men's Altitude Crew Neck Base Layer is the ‘go to’ thermal layer for just about any adventure and our all-time best seller. It’s the perfect thermal layer for core warmth when you’re layering up, yet versatile enough to be worn on its own in milder conditions.

Tag-free, flatlock stitching and raglan sleeves help eliminate chafe and maximise comfort. The drop back hem and extra body length is designed for tucking into your outer layers. Thumb loops keep your hands warm and stop your sleeves riding up when layering.

This top is the perfect combination of performance, warmth and comfort.

(For a more relaxed fit try our Ultra or Universal tops.)

Ultra Trail Australia mandatory gear approved thermals.

Originally designed to be worn as a base layer, (is usually underneath something else), this is a ‘contact fit’ layer so will hug your body. If you don’t want it to fit, feel or look like a second skin, you might try another style, or go up a size, but please note: even going up a size will fit quite close to your body because of the fabric and cut.

I like to use Merino base layers as t-shirts as wool is awesome, nature’s hi-tech material, and the form fitting material show off my physique. ioMerino has good quality wool, but I’m not a fan of the fit of this shirt. The thumb holes, and thus longer sleeves, bunch up on my arms, which I could get past, but when I move around the shirt bunches up above my pecs and stays that way, unless I constantly pull it down. For reference, My body is similar to the model’s for this grey color. I have a preferred brand but they run out of stock often and I was looking for different colors. Unfortunately, this shirt will get relegated to sleepwear only. So, 3 stars for quality and construction, but not 4 or 5 stars for my purposes.

Great all rounder

Nice, light and snug fitting, perfect as a base layer or to throw on over the top to keep you warm. Looks great, fits great, 100% happy with my purchase and already looking to add more merino to my running kit

Another great piece of kit

It has been a while since i brought any IO and putting this on reminded me it has been too long. Putting this on is like a nice warm hug - i know that sounds ridiculous. The thumb loops work really well with the Newton Gloves. I wish i had gotten them at the start of the Canberra winter as opposed to the end.
