J2 BASELAYER WOMENS
EXTENDED BASELAYER PERFORMANCE
COLOUR: Black/Grey
Designed for extended use under a drysuit, the J2 Baselayer provides outstanding wicking properties combined with anti-micobial performance. Wicking perspiration away, the J2 maintains a dry zone next to the skin. Air is a better insulator than water and consequently, the baselayer ensures better thermal protection. These properties come into their own when the fabric gets wet as water is wicked away, and with the right combination of drysuit underwear, further away from the fibres of the undersuit.
The J2 was specifically developed for the US Deep Caving Team’s 2013 expedition to explore the Cheve cave system in Mexico, meaning the anti-microbial silver ions embedded within the fibres of the fabric are tried and tested. The J2 enables long, repetitive wear without the risk of skin infections, something which was critical on the US Team’s expedition.
Silver ions are incorporated into the fibres when they are manufactured and cannot be washed off. The silver ions stop the formation of bacterial cell membranes, preventing most bacteria from growing in the fibres, however will not adversely affect the naturally occurring bacteria on the skin itself.
