On short everyday trips, hardly anyone thinks about functional base layers.

Why it matters for commuting

Cotton under a shirt stores sweat and stays damp for hours. In winter, there is a second effect: a dry layer directly on the skin is much warmer than a sweaty one.

Merino blends are especially practical for everyday use, because you can wear them for several days without unpleasant smells. This saves washing if you commute every day.

In summer, the question is different. It is less about warmth than about keeping your shirt dry. A thin sleeveless model absorbs sweat and can be changed discreetly at your destination.

A sleeveless model under your shirt is not noticeable in the office either and can be worn discreetly on warm days.
