A repaired garment is a story extended. We ensure the longevity of your Cimalp equipment, season after season.

Who did we design it for?

For the mountaineers and ski touring women who wear a harness, pack or climbing harness over their first layer.

They're looking for a technical base layer that doesn't irritate under the pressure of equipment and stays comfortable throughout long days of effort.

This profile demands a seamless construction that fits the body perfectly without creating friction points.

How should you wear it?

To wear as a base layer directly against the skin, particularly under a harness or climbing harness. The seamless construction eliminates all friction points. Second-skin fitted cut — your usual size.

What makes the difference?

Its seamless body mapping construction eliminates all seams in contact with the skin: zero friction, zero pressure points, a absolute second-skin comfort even under a harness.

Zero seams. Zero friction.

In the high mountains, wearing a harness or a pack over a standard base layer creates friction that intensifies with every movement. After a few hours, seams become a source of irritation that breaks your concentration.

This base layer addresses exactly that constraint. Its seamless body mapping construction adapts insulation zone by zone, with no protruding seams. It wicks moisture during effort, neutralises odours over time, and moves with your every motion.

Because the best base layer is the one you forget you're wearing. Invisible foundation.

In summary This content is written by AI

Customers are won over by its warmth, which protects effectively against the cold without causing excessive sweating: many wear it for hiking, cycling, trail running or training. They also appreciate its light weight, extremely soft feel and second-skin sensation, making it comfortable to wear for long periods. Several customers highlight its fit and quality, and some have already bought it again. However, take care when choosing your size: it can run slightly small or, depending on your build, feel a little loose; check the size guide before ordering.

Great, keeps you really warm, size XL fits a size 42 perfectly. I live in the mountains with sub-zero temperatures, and I can go running lighter and warmer thanks to this gear.

I was blown away by the quality of this product, which truly feels like a second skin. On a mountain hike at 1200m altitude in 6-degree weather, there was no need for a jacket; it insulated us incredibly well from the cold. It dries super quickly at the end of the day, so there's no feeling of cold on your back when you take off your backpack. I also tested it on a trail run, with a waterproof jacket over it. It didn't make me sweat but kept me just the right amount of warmth. It's truly a fantastic outdoor sports product.

Second order. I ordered a M/L since an S/M wasn't available. The underwear doesn't cling to the skin, which I prefer. Very comfortable to wear and doesn't smell despite perspiration.

Order a size up as it runs small. I ordered an XL when a L is usually plenty for me. Very comfortable material, well cut.

Really excellent quality! It allows me to avoid wearing multiple layers during my workouts or treks and hikes! I really like its antibacterial and insulating properties.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

This is strongly inadvisable. Cotton retains moisture and dries very slowly, leaving you feeling cold during rest stops. Wear this technical garment directly against your skin.

This model is designed to act as a second skin. Its role is to wick away moisture and keep you dry. If it's cold, add a fleece on top (second layer). To protect yourself from the elements, wear a waterproof jacket as your third layer.

Wash at a maximum of 30°C. The golden rule for sportswear is to avoid fabric softener: it clogs the micro-pores of the fabric and blocks moisture wicking. Air drying is very quick — avoid the tumble dryer.

If you place your order before 1 pm (excluding weekends), it will be dispatched the same day. Allow 2 to 4 working days for home delivery or collection point delivery within mainland France.

Yes, absolutely. You have 30 days to return it and get a refund or an exchange. Return shipping is free. The item must be new, unworn, unwashed, and have its original tag.
