Does this scene look familiar? You’ve snagged a beautiful camp site with ambitions of stargazing and early morning coffee by a smoldering campfire. But now you’re huddled in your tent as the clouds roll in and the chilly wind blows. Whether you’re spending time on the ocean or high in the mountains, your base layers can be your best friend when the warm summer sun disappears.
Here are three reasons to always carry your base layer, even in the summer months.
Layer For Unpredictable Weather

No matter the time of year, smart packing and dressing should always involve layers. The weather can change quickly out there, and it’s important for the layer that touches your skin to stay warm and dry.
ColdPruf has you covered for any temperature paired with any level of activity, whether you’re going for a chilly morning stroll on the beach or a multi-day backpacking trip in high alpine regions. Our ThermaChoice System Key makes it easy to choose which of our base layers is right for your chosen adventure.
Protect Your Skin From Sun
Sun is another factor to consider in your summer outdoor pursuits. Even the best sunscreen can eventually fail with high alpine rays or reflections from water or snow. And suffering the pain of a sunburn is no way to spend your days outside. A light base layer like the Honeycomb can be a great shield from UV glare. You’ll stay protected and cool, and ready to keep going through the long, sunny days.
Cover Up Indoors
The cool blast of an air-conditioner can feel great after you’ve been sweating outside. But if you’re spending much time indoors, those air-conditioners will leave you chilly, which can be particularly uncomfortable if your clothes are damp from sweating.
Keep a light base layer on you, for unexpected indoor time, or for full days in the office. Layers will keep you warm, and give you the option to easily strip down to warm-day gear, once you’re ready to get back out there.
No matter the adventure or forecast, you’ll find be relieved to have packed a base layer, all year round.
