Forget the shapeless basic base layer or clingy skin tight top. This is a long-sleeve layer designed for high performance in the mountains and cut for shape and comfort. One of the problems with straight cut tops is that, if you have a smaller waist and rounder hips, they often ride up, bunching at the belly button to reveal your lower belly and back to the freezing wind. It’s cold and constantly pulling the hem of your top down is annoying. Not so here. Contoured at the sides, the Bella Tech LS works with your curves so it fits well, looks good and, cut slightly longer at the back, keeps you snug and warm all over, all day. Made from naturally breathable and odour-resistant Merino blend fabric it provides exceptional temperature regulation with a mesh back panel to wick away sweat fast – no more cold sweaty back when you finally slow down. Available in a range of classic colourways and exclusive denim tie-dye

Flashy technical outerwear is all well and good, but the foundation for all-day comfort in the great outdoors is a solid baselayer. Unfortunately, most are tight-fitting and uninspired, made from flimsy fabrics that look like Swiss cheese after a week or two on the trail.
Enter New Zealand-based brand, Mons Royale, born out of the Kiwi snow sports scene in the mountains above Lake Wanaka. Making merino base layers, jerseys and sweaters is what they do – and it really shows.
Just about everything in the Mons range is built around ethically and sustainably produced merino wool – a fibre with so many miracle properties that only Mother Nature could have come up with it. But it’s Mons Royale’s more relaxed approach to design that really makes them stand out. Constructed for comfort and flexibility, their base layers fit like your favourite T-shirt, rather than feeling as if they’ve been sprayed on.
We love Mons Royale because it’s technical stuff that looks good enough to wear every day. The cuts are casual, the pastel colours are cool but muted, and the branding isn’t too full-on. Take your Mons kit out for a day on the mountain, then stick the bike or climbing gear back in the van, switch the shorts for a clean pair of jeans and you’re all set to go for a post-adventure beer.
