The feedback we’ve had on Columbia‘s Heavyweight Baselayers? They’re warm enough that you can dispense with the usual fleece midlayer, particularly for a high-output activity like XC skiing or snowshoeing. XC skiing on a cold January day, we paired the Heavyweight Baselayer with a medium-insulated jacket. For alpine skiing, the Heavyweight served well under a puffy down jacket. Everyone layers differently, but Columbia’s Omni-Heat reflective technology is a one-stop shop for dryness, warmth, and next-to-skin comfort.

Heavyweight Half-Zip Top (Men’s or Women’s)

Built for warmth and movement in the deep cold, this toasty baselayer features a performance blend of stretchy, body heat retaining thermal reflective waffle fabric with Omni-Wick® stretch jersey inserts at the side/underarm to disperse excess heat and wick sweat during dynamic activity. Raglan sleeves deliver better range of motion, and a dropped hem in back provides more coverage where it counts.

  • Omni-Heat Thermal Reflective breathable material on the core, shoulders, and arms regulates your temperature with silver dots that reflect and retain body heat
  • 4-way comfort stretch for superior mobility
  • Antimicrobial
  • Thumb holes for coverage and security.

Midweight Longsleeve Top (Men’s or Women’s)

With thermal reflectivity for lightweight warmth and sweat-wicking inserts, the midweight top is the ideal all-day baselayer for aerobic activity. Finely tuned ergonomic seaming cuts a sleek, comfortable-wearing silhouette. Ideal for high-output activity in cool weather.

Available online or at Columbia stores.

NEW ML Coast Mountains Winter-Spring ’23 Issue is OUT NOW! 🙌
There are some first times that we will always remember. Like the time I skied off-piste through the alpine highlands of le parc national de la Gaspésie.

With four decades of ice canoeing under his belt, Jean Anderson has dominated a sport that's unique to Quebec and that he helped shape.
Featuring three gravel and three MTB events, the series explores the intense competition and love of the sport among 60 of the world’s premier cyclists.
Winter commute with #mountainlifer @michelle_pittam ❄️🚵‍♀️🌲
@lhymnedestrembles.ca is no mirage. Set in the lush Laurentian forest, yet easily accessible (less than an hour and a half from Montreal), this luxurious ski-in ski-out residential resort by @groupebrivia is nestled at the foot of the Versant Soleil side of Mont Tremblant. The Tremblant region is a perennial destination for outdoor enthusiasts from around the world, and within the province, attracting 3.5 million visitors annually.
ML staff and gear partners highlight the latest jackets, boards, crampons, hoodies, insoles and bindings in alpha order. #Linkinbio to learn more!
Adventures like this one require an inspiring team. @timemmett is a longtime friend, adventure partner and extraordinary human; an explorer, pro climber, surfer, freediver—you name it. @luca.freediver is an incredibly talented freediver, fresh off breaking the Canadian national freediving record (85 metres). The fourth man on the team, @brianhockenstein, is a filmmaker and multi-talented snowboarder always ready to jump into the fray and capture the magic. - words Jimmy Martinello. #Linkinbio to learn more!
