Helly Hansen Men's LIFA® Active Crew Base Layer
Comfortable from the first mile, and Helly Hansen actually tells you why.
Most "thermal" base layers give you an adjective and stop there. Helly Hansen builds the LIFA Active Crew as a 2-layer construction: 100% LIFA® polypropylene against your skin, a separate wicking layer outside it. The fibre doing the work is named, not implied.
The construction, named
Helly Hansen describes the LIFA Active Crew as "an advanced 2-layer construction with 100% LIFA® fiber next to skin and wicking technical fibers outside," and states it has "excellent moisture management properties." That is a fibre you can look up sitting directly against your skin, and a stated reason a second layer sits outside it, not an adjective standing in for both.
Built for the miles that matter
Helly Hansen names this garment's use as Trail Running, Resort Skiing and Ski Touring. That's the kind of day that swings from a cold start to a hard climb and back again, which is exactly when what sits against your skin matters most. It's also a bluesign® product, made with Oceanbound recycled materials, both from Helly Hansen's own page.
What Helly Hansen doesn't publish, and why it's still worth knowing
One published figure Helly Hansen doesn't give for this garment is a fabric weight, GSM, grams per square metre. There is no temperature rating either, and no lab test comparing it to cotton or merino. What is published and checkable is the fibre next to your skin and the construction around it, above, which is the same check worth running on any base layer, thermal or not.
Built so the sweat from the climb doesn't sit against your skin on the way down.

Helly Hansen's own page says: "Customers say product fits true to size. We recommend sticking with your regular size." For exact body measurements against each size, Helly Hansen's own size guide carries the full chart; check that before you buy rather than guessing from the S to XXL range alone. This listing is the men's version; Helly Hansen also sells a women's LIFA Active Crew (No. 49393, XS to XL), but it is a separate listing with its own sizing, not reachable from this link.
