Fit and Care

Hot Chillys has an athletic and close-to-body without feeling restrictive.

Trim / performance fit – designed to sit close to the skin for moisture-wicking and layering
Comfort stretch – moves with you, not tight like compression gear
True-to-size for most – but slightly more fitted than casual apparel
Layer-friendly – thin enough to sit cleanly under mid-layers without bunching

Base Layer Fit Types

Body Fit Base Layers

Body Fit delivers a streamlined, next-to-skin feel. It contours closely to the body for maximum thermal efficiency and moisture management. Ideal as a base layer, it provides warmth without added bulk and is designed to move seamlessly under midlayers and outerwear.

Active Fit Base Layers

Active Fit is built for movement. It offers a closer, body-skimming silhouette that follows your shape without restricting mobility. Designed for high-output activity, it reduces bulk, layers easily, and stays comfortably in place during skiing, running, training, or any cold-weather performance use.

Relaxed Fit Base Layers

Relaxed Fit offers easy comfort with more room to move. It provides a looser silhouette that doesn’t cling to the body, making it ideal for everyday wear, casual layering, or lower-intensity activities where comfort and breathability are key.

Washing Instructions

Machine wash separately on cold with like colors. Tumble dry low. Do not iron.

Wash before wearing. Wash between uses.

Do not use bleach or fabric softeners. Bleach may harm the material and fabric softeners reduce the moisture wicking ability and actually make it harder to wash out sweat and body odor in an althetic garment.

Any detergent residue that is meant to stay on the fabric like brighteners or scents will reduce the effectiveness of Hot Chillys moisture wicking properties.
