Winter riding places a lot of demands on your choice of clothing, and the first line of defence against the onset of hypothermia is the right baselayer, as they remove moisture from your skin and keep you warm.
Merino wool is one our favourite choices, as it combines a great deal of warmth, breathability and odour resistance while managing to feel incredibly comfortable. The Merino baselayer market is a pretty crowded one, but Howies have been doing Merino for years.
The NBL here uses 100% New Zealand Merino wool, the thickness of which is just right for going underneath several other layers. As usual with Merino, it's silky-soft to the touch, feeling luxurious next to the skin, almost like a second skin. The light weight of it gives added versatility for a range of temperatures.
