Columbia Midweight Baselayers Review
The Columbia Midweight Baselayers are a good all around baselayer for multi-season activities. In the fall and spring they work as stand alone layering pieces for cool weather exploits. I’ve found the top to be sufficient by itself for trail runs down into the 30s. In the winter they pair well as part of a layering system.
The Omni-Heat reflective lining helps keep in additional warmth. As Columbia says “keeping you up to 20% warmer”. When I first looked at the lining as I pulled the pieces out of the package I was skeptical. I thought it was going to feel like tin foil rubbing on my skin. I couldn’t have been more wrong. The Omni-Heat lining is smooth and soft on the skin. I didn’t notice it at all and it’s surprisingly comfortable.
The 4-way comfort stretch fabric helps with mobility and keeps you from feeling restricted when you’re moving. The antimicrobial properties work wonders and you can even get away with wearing the pieces multiple times between washings. You know how typically with synthetic layers as you pull on your shirt for the second time you get repulsed by the stench? This isn’t the case with the Columbia Midweight baselayer. The antimicrobial properties keep the smell at bay.
The fit is definitely athletic. I’m 6 feet tall and 180 lbs and the large top and bottom fit me perfectly. One thing I will say on the fit is the arms are cut a little high so fits tight through the armpits.
On the bottoms, do yourselves a favor gents and get the pair with the fly. I don’t get why they’d make them without.
The Good
- Warm & versatile
- Stretchy
- Antimicrobial
The Bad
- Top fit a little tight through the armpits
- No fly on certain bottom models
Bottom Line:
