Duofold by Champion: Baselayers for the Rest of Us

DSC 0795

When it comes to staying warm in cold conditions, good baselayers are an absolute must. Not only are they the first line of defense in terms of temperature control, they also play an important role in keeping our bodies warm and dry, even while taking part in intense aerobic activities.

But if you’ve ever shopped for baselayers, you know there are a lot of options to choose from, and they can range in price dramatically. For instance, we recently shared our thoughts on baselayers from a company called Kora, which use yak wool rather than the more common mernio wool. Those products performed exceptionally well, but were also priced at a point that put them outside of the budget of the average outdoor enthusiast.

Fortunately, there are other options available that still offer great performance at a more wallet-friendly price. Take for example the line of products from Duofold by Champion, a company that has been making baselayers and cold weather gear for decades. Their apparel is designed for those of us who aren’t necessarily going on an expedition to the Arctic, but still need gear that can keep us comfortable during our cold weather pursuits. In a sense, they’re making baselayers that are meant for the rest of us, offering good performance that we can all afford. Here are just a few options they have to choose from.
