GROUP TEST BASE LAYERS
Run happily throughout the winter with long-sleeve tops that wick away sweat and keep you warm
SALOMON Agile LS Tee
£40, salomon.com
Tester Tina
The fit on this top came up quite loose, so it would work well when you want to layer up with vests and tees, such as for your longer, slow runs in the cold. It’s a beautiful colour, it wicked away sweat brilliantly, was lightweight to wear and felt cosy.
MIZUNO Alpha LS HS
£40, mizuno.eu
Tester Geri
Really lovely design with a fit that allows freedom of movement. Fashionable style and great colour. This top is comfortable, reflective and stylish, with thumbhole cuffs to keep you warm during the cold winter training sessions.
RON HILL Infinity Merino
£55, ronhill.com
Tester Caroline
Ron Hill’s baselayer is a winter classic. It excels in its warmth and breathability due to the merino wool, which feels so soft to wear. The concealed thumb holes and the length of arm are perfect, while the subtle stitching is an elegant touch. The high neck with a quarter-zip may divide opinion, but it adds welcome protection around the neck.
