Most athletes would "wrap up" when the temperature drops and "strip off" when the temperature rises - but by wearing a base layer, you're performance won't be affected or compromised.

Base Layers are simply that - a first or foundation layer of clothing that is worn under any team strip, outwear or training wear to regulate body temperature and provide you with more comfort not matter what the conditions, and ensure you as an athlete can perform at your best. Base Layers can also act as compression aids in helping muscle recovery and fitness performance.

At Pro-Direct Soccer we specialise in all the major Base Layer technologies, from Under Armour Cold and Heat Gear to Nike Pro and adidas Techfit Powerweb. Learn more about each technology with the information and links below:

CANTERBURY BASELAYER
Master of rugby base layer and clothing, and now specialising also in football (Portsmouth F.C), the advanced fabric used in Canterbury BaseLayer wicks perspiration away from the body and into the air.
Canterbury BaseLayer comes in two varieties; Canterbury BaseLayer HOT keeps you cool and fresh however hot the action gets on the pitch,
Canterbury BaseLayer COLD keeps you warm and competitive as the temperature plummetts.

With Canterbury BaseLayer Moisture Management System you won't be carrying around excess moisture which could lose you priceless fractions of a second within your sport.
Designed to be worn skin tight as a base layer, Canterbury BaseLayer reduces energy sapping muscle oscillation, yet gives you full freedom of movement.
BaseLayer is skin tight yet flexible,
These 'compression' properties mean Canterbury BaseLayer supports and promotes muscle alignment, which can significantly prevent muscle
fatigue from lactic acid build-up during maximum intensity training - in other words, armourfit will actually help you recover quicker.

Canterbury BaseLayer performance underwear is designed to be worn beneath team strips or just on its own.
