Long-Sleeved Bodysuit – The Base Layer Under Everything

Short answer: A long-sleeved bodysuit is the most complete base layer for the cold months: it covers your arms, upper body and lower back in one piece and stays in place no matter how much you move. In bamboo viscose it breathes at the same time, so you do not get clammy indoors.

The advantage of the long sleeve

The long sleeve turns the bodysuit into a complete base layer that keeps your arms warm under shirts, knitwear and jackets. Because it fastens at the crotch, it never rides up, and no cold air gets in at your lower back. See the styles in bamboo bodysuits.

A thin layer with a big effect

Bamboo viscose is thin and smooth, so the bodysuit does not add bulk under your clothes, yet it still holds on to warmth noticeably and moves sweat away when you go between cold and warm. Read how in the guide to bamboo and temperature regulation and the article about the bamboo undershirt as a base layer.

Combine it with the rest of your winter layers

Add bamboo tights for women or bamboo leggings for women, so your whole body has a soft, breathable layer closest to the skin in winter.
