Women's Short Performance Underpants: For Your Touring Outfit

Choose women’s short functional base layers based on your plans and the demands of your trip. Short functional base layers should fit comfortably under your hiking pants. Check the waistband, leg cuffs, and seams when walking and sitting. More fabric isn’t automatically better if it bunches up underneath. Choose based on how it feels against your skin, the intended use, and the actual outfit you’ll be wearing.

Women’s Short Base Layer Pants: Selection Criteria

• Waistband: Test for pressure while sitting. Take plenty of time to do this when selecting a pair.
• Legs: Check the cuffs while moving. Clarify any questions using the specific product information.
• Seams: Pay attention to areas where the fabric comes into contact with your skin. Factor your existing gear into your comparison.
• Outfit: Try on your hiking pants over them. Test how they handle, if possible, before using them for the first time.

Try on base layers together

Test base layers with the layers worn over them. Small wrinkles or awkward seams may only become noticeable when you move. Walk, sit down, and test the movements typical of your activity. How the material feels is a personal preference and should suit the intended use. Also note how you can wash and dry the clothing after extended use. For multi-day trips, plan a streamlined selection rather than bringing extra items whose role in your clothing system isn’t clear.

Choose women’s short functional underwear based on your specific needs and take your time comparing the different styles. The “Functional Underwear” section offers a helpful overview. Explore the selection online or ask any questions you may have during a consultation at the store.
