100% recycled base layer, made up of two different materials both of which work together to keep you cool.

Inov8 says

Constructed with new durable recycled polyester yarns the inov-8 BASE ELITE is a featherlight and fast-drying long-sleeve running base-layer that quickly wicks any moisture away from the body. Highly breathable and supremely odour resistant, this base-layer is perfect for long runs or intense sweaty sessions. Requires less laundering and will be the base-layer you reach for time and time again. The welded hem and cuffs ensure maximum comfort and zero irritation in those areas. Specifically cut for a female shape.

Our Verdict

A really nice hard-working and light base layer made predominantly with runners in mind, but just as good for hikers. Made of 2 main fabrics the main body is made from 100% Recycled Polyester, whilst the Airflow panels located on the sides have been made, once again from recycled Polyester, which wicks moisture away from the upper body and dries fast.

I’m always a fan of thumb loops on a base layer, so this is a good addition as far as I’m concerned. The lack of seams around the hem and cuffs delivers a smooth, next-to-skin feel and zero irritation.
