A good Laksen baselayer is the part of your shooting outfit nobody sees but everybody notices when it is missing. Sitting closest to the skin, it manages moisture and traps warmth without adding bulk under a jacket or jumper, making it one of the most useful pieces of kit for a day at the peg, on a rough shoot or out on the hill.

Our Range of Thermal Baselayers

Our range of Laksen thermal baselayers covers both men and women, with warm tops and cold-defying bottoms designed to work as a first layer beneath a shirt, jumper or fleece. They are equally useful for standing still through a long drive or walking miles of rough ground, where staying dry underneath matters just as much as staying dry on the outside.

Look for a Laksen baselayer with flat seams and a close, comfortable fit, since anything that rubs or bunches becomes a distraction long before lunch. A well-fitted baselayer also makes it easier to add or remove layers as the weather changes through the day, which matters on a British shoot where conditions rarely stay the same for long.

Merino baselayers tend to suit walked-up and rough shooting best, since the fibre manages moisture well when you are working hard, while a heavier thermal option is often the better choice for standing still through a driven day or waiting out a flight in the cold. Owning both gives you the flexibility to dress correctly for whatever the day involves.

Building the Full Layering System

Once your base layer is sorted, build the rest of your system with Laksen jumpers for warmth, a Laksen shooting vest for an easy mid layer, and a Laksen jacket to finish. For legwear, our Laksen breeks and Laksen trousers are designed to work with the same layering principles, keeping you comfortable from first light to last drive.
