Overview
Built for changing conditions, this women’s base layer is suited to cold-weather work where comfort and mobility matter. The waffle knit polyester construction is designed to wick sweat, dry quickly, and help manage odor, making it a practical layer for long days in the warehouse or on the ranch. Built-in stretch supports bending, twisting, and reaching without feeling restrictive, while flatlock seams help reduce chafing during extended wear. Concealed thumb loops, locker loops, and a tagless label add small but useful details for all-day use.
