Wherever your outdoor adventures take you this winter, from skiing to hiking, you'll want to wear a base layer beneath your snow pants and heavy coats. Base layer clothing fits snugly to allow for easy layering. Base layers include long-sleeve tops, leggings and more. They are usually designed to be sweat-wicking, to keep you dry and warm during physical activity.

The brand 32 Degrees is popular for its uber-affordable base layers, but there are other warm and cost-effective options available from Asos, Gymshark and more. Here are some well-reviewed options worth considering.
