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

Tops

Base layers can improve endurance, help keep the body safe from injury and help give the oxygen

Base layer tops help keep the chest upright and can improve oxygen intake. This is especially useful if the job is quite physically demanding and users need all the air they can get. As with the increased oxygen into the system, wearing base layer clothing can improve the blood flow, keeping the user warm throughout the body and improving endurance.

For example, if users work in the fishing or marine industry, they are constantly faced with ever-changing weather and challenging terrain. Not to mention if a user is operating a ship or catching fish, the job can be quite physically intense, therefore you need all the help they can get. And base layers can improve endurance, help keep the body safe from injury and help give the oxygen the system needs to do the job.

Bottoms

Muscle compression is where base layers can improve the risk of injury happening. If in the job user is always on their feet such as a retail worker or in the food and beverage industry, they 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 they are on their feet for 8 hours or more a day, the last thing user want is to be uncomfortable or to feel any pain. Wearing base layers can help avoid this.

Buying Base Layers

These are just some of the benefits base layer clothing has and how it can help carry out the job to the highest standards, without having to worry about the body.

Especially if users work in a physically demanding job, they may want to consider wearing base layers to help users stay safe at work and to take their minds off their bodies, and keep their concentration on the job at hand.
