For any athlete who is used to high intensity athletic activities like skiing, rafting, rowing, biking, cycling etc

208 Lowry Hill Road,cumbria, United Kingdom (prHWY.com) July 2, 2012 - For any athlete who is used to high intensity athletic activities like skiing, rafting, rowing, biking, cycling etc and sportsmen who regularly participate in outdoor sports, base layers are a must. The term 'base' implies foundation; i.e. the layer or piece of clothing worn at the base of a multi-layered clothing system. It is the first and foremost layer of clothing the robust athlete wears and is figure fitting in nature. Base layers are known by various other names such as skins, compression layers or under armors. Nowadays there are special Thermal non-compressive body contoured base layers that focus mainly on temperature regulation;

i.e. keeping the athlete cool when it is hot outside and warm when it is cold outside. But these base layer clothing are not only for athletes, anyone with an active lifestyle must invest in these. The brand Helly Hansen sells that kind of base layers and has earned worldwide reputation for making the base layer clothing highly functional and comfortable to wear, and the right online store to pick these is the Lakes Workwear.


"Helly Hansen base layers have been designed keeping in mind the nature of the outdoor activities an athlete or sportsman would indulge in. Those are tough activities and sometimes they have to confront inclement weathers and the harsh Nature. The Helly Hansen base layer that clings to their body has been specially designed to give them all the comfort they need while battling with harsh weather. The use of superior quality fibers in the base layers allow the moisture wicking technology and temperature regulation mechanism to work wondrously and this makes Helly Hansen stand out from the rest", said a proud employee.


The brand got its name from its founder Captain Helly Juell Hansen. The brand started taking shape in the year 1877. Captain Hansen and his wife had spent many years of their life at sea. Later they started a business where they manufactured oilskin garments such as jackets, trousers, tarpaulins etc. The manufacturing process involved the soaking of coarse linen for hours in linseed oil. The market received a good jolt because within a time period of the initial 5 years, they had sold out near about 10, 000 items. In the year 1878, the company was awarded an excellence diploma at Paris Expo and it begun exporting goods. With the arrival of the 20th century, the brand made many progresses and one of the outcomes is what we now call 3-Layer System. In 1949, the oil-based outerwear that was previously being used for the garments was replaced by a thin PVC Plastic sheet called Helox which is translucent in nature.

This was a great improvement and increased the garments' functionality when being used for outdoor activities. In 1961, the fiberpile, an incredible insulation layer was introduced. It was light-weight, fast-drying and quite warm. This Helly Hansen base layer was of great use for skiers because it offered protection against snow and rain. In 1970's, the LIFA was developed. LIFA was composed of a wonder fiber that accelerated the rate of moisture wicking. In the 1980, came the Helly Tech technology which is a sum total of micro-porous and hydrophilic technology. This implies that the base layers would be waterproof and at the same time breathable.

A variety of base layers is available for both men and women on Lakes Workwear. The variety is phenomenal and the company also offers free delivery.For more Details,Visit Our website http://www.lakesworkwear.com/baselayers.html
