Whether you're looking for functional underwear for your next ski day, a breathable baselayer for your jogging lap, or comfortable merino underwear for everyday wear: The range covers lightweight summer models, warming winter variants and durable all-year products. You'll find shirts, vests, long sleeves, underpants and leggings in various materials and warmth levels – matching your individual requirements and activities.
Functional underwear is mainly manufactured from two material groups: natural merino wool and synthetic fibers such as polyester or polyamide. Merino wool impresses with natural thermal regulation, odor inhibition and a soft skin feel – ideal for multi-day tours and cold temperatures. Synthetics score with extreme drying speed, high durability and an often lower price. Many premium manufacturers rely on intelligent blended fabrics that combine the advantages of both worlds.
For skiing and snowboarding, warming merino models with high insulation performance are suitable. For hiking, trail running and mountaineering, lightweight, breathable baselayers that wick moisture quickly are in demand. For cross-country skiing or cycling, synthetic models score with high elasticity and fast drying behavior. If you want to wear functional underwear in everyday life, merino models from Icebreaker or Odlo offer comfortable and odor-neutral companions for the entire day.

Functional underwear is suitable for active people, outdoor fans, winter sports enthusiasts and anyone who wants to benefit from an optimal body climate in everyday life. Whether skiing in the Swiss Alps, jogging in autumn, on multi-day tours or simply in the office – high-quality baselayers keep you dry, warm and comfortable. Functional underwear is also an ideal choice for people who get cold quickly or tend to sweat heavily.
With functional underwear, the right fit and high-quality materials are crucial. The baselayer should sit close to the body without constricting, so that moisture transport works optimally. For care applies: Wash at a maximum of 40 degrees on a gentle cycle, no fabric softener, no bleach – and best allow to air dry. This way, the functional underwear retains its performance over many seasons.
