You may commonly associate base layers with athletes and with benefits including muscle compression, aid recovery and improved blood flow and oxygen intake, it’s easy to see why they’re popular in the sports industry.

But there’s no reason why they have to be limited to sports and why workers in cooler temperatures can’t benefit from base layer clothing.

Here at Granite Workwear, we have a wide range of base layer clothing for both men and women and from high-quality brands including Pulsar, Fristads and Tranemo.

Tops

Base layer tops help keep the chest upright and can improve oxygen intake. This is especially useful if your job is quite physically demanding and you need all the air you can get!

As with the increased oxygen into your system, wearing base layer clothing can improve the blood flow, keeping you warm throughout your body and actually improving your endurance.

For example, if you work in the fishing or marine industry, you’re constantly faced with everchanging weather and challenging terrain. 

Not to mention if you’re operating a ship or catching fish, the job can be quite physically intense, therefore you need all the help you can get. 

And base layers can improve your endurance, help keep your body safe from injury and help give you the oxygen your system needs to do the job.

Bottoms

Muscle compression is where base layers can really improve the risk of injury happening.

If in your job you’re always on your feet such as a retail worker or in the food and beverage industry, you may want to consider wearing base layer clothing to prevent any serious injuries happening.

The tight fit also can help avoid chaffing or rubbing, especially if you’re on your feet for 8 hours or more a day, the last thing you want is to be uncomfortable or to feel any pain. Wearing base layers can help avoid this.
