Ice hockey is an intense sport where you switch between active moments on the ice and rest in the penalty box. This means you may sweat heavily at times, only to sit still and recover. To maintain a consistent body temperature, it’s important to have a base layer that wicks away excess moisture and keeps you warm enough to avoid getting chilled. Additionally, a base layer must fit comfortably and not cause chafing or discomfort due to seams or poor fit.
