EARTH SEA SKY FIRST LAYER

<Thermal bodywear

Our entire First Layer^® thermal range is 100% polyester. Since our first trials six years ago we have found polyester based thermals to be superior in many ways. Unlike polypropylene, First Layer^® thermal fabric does not pill, become harsh to touch or build up body odour. Our First Layer^®
These fabric types are the most technically advanced next-to-skin fabrics available today.
First Layer^® Power Dry^® thermal wear dries 20% faster than conventional wicking polyesters.
Our thermal wear range has four different fabrics, Silk Weight, Light Weight, 4X4 Stretch and Mid-Weight.

First Layer^® 4X4 Stretch

First Layer^® 4X4 Stretch uses a very specialised ESP^® (Extra Stretch Polyester) yarn to give the fabric a natural unrestricted four-way stretch. This is a product of the knit construction and not the addition of spandex which inhibits moisture transfer, odour repelling and fast drying properties
of polyester.
First Layer^® 4X4 Stretch is a 145 gram/m² fabric that performs identically to the Mid-Weight fabric. The two-sided stretch fabric has the same soft next-to-skin inner surface and durable non-pill
outer surface.
First Layer^® 4X4 stretch garments are designed to be closer fitting to maximise the insulation and moisture-transfer properties of the polyester fabric. All garments have low-profile flat-lock seams for greater comfort. First Layer^® 4X4 Stretch is an ideal fabric for athletes, multi-sport activities and foundation garments such as briefs, boxers, crop tops and long joh

First Layer^® Mid-Weight

First Layer® Mid-Weight is a 175 gram/m² fabric that offers superior warmth and exceptional moisture transfer from the skin. Mid-Weight fabric is extremely soft and comfortable and dries very quickly after washing or during wear.

First Layer® Mid-Weight is knitted to obtain a unique double-surface BiPolar fabric. The Next-To-Skin surface is brushed for comfort and treated for moisture transfer. The outer surface has a durable non pill weave constructed for maximum moisture dispersion (fast drying). When combined both surfaces give superior wind resistance and ultra violet sun protection.
The moisture transfer properties are permanently etched in the surface of the polyester fibres. This life long process also gives the fibre the ability to shed all odour and bacteria during washing.

First Layer® Mid-Weight remains soft and supple and will not pill or feel harsh with wear. Even with continuous washing the fabric will maintain its shape.

First Layer^® Silk Weight

At 100 grams/m² First Layer^® Silk Weight is the lightest next-yo-skin, performance fabric available in the world. For active outdoor activities where moisture transferring and fast drying is a priority this fabric is ideal. It can be used as a technical summer weight T Shirt, actively evaporating perspiration into the air, or as a luxurious soft under layer actively transferring moisture to the next layer of clothing. First Layer Silk Weight, despite its weight, is an effective sun protection layer – it has a UPF rating of 15.
Sleek and very soft to touch, First Layer Silk Weight uses the latest fibre technology to give the fabric a permanent Dry Fast moisture transfer finish. This same treatment also gives the fibres a permanent anti-bacterial finish to ensure all body odours are removed during washing.
First Layer® Silk Weight's compactness, fast wash and dry cycle and remarkable crease-free surface makes it perfect for adventure travellers.

First Layer^® Light Weight

First Layer^® Lightweight uses a silver fibre technology to eliminate all odour-causing bacteria during wear. The use of natural silver is a clever solution as it eliminates 99.9% of all bacteria in less than one hour of exposure. This is a permanent process that remains during the life of the garment.
