Tufte has a wide collection of baselayers for different uses and with different properties: Bambull®, Bambull® Switch and Frost. Our baselayers are divided into varying degrees of warmth based on the garment's function and ability to retain heat, and go from Warm to Warmer and Warmest.
BAMBULL® – WARM
We made Bambull® to make winter and cold outdoor activities more tempting. The word Bambull® comes from the words bamboo and wool, and plays directly on the garment's composition. Bambull® products have a two-layer construction for unbeatable comfort and good warmth, with an inner layer in bamboo viscose and an outer layer in superfine merino wool. This guarantees wonderful softness and warmth without the itchiness that ordinary wool can do. The products have been developed so that the skin never comes into direct contact with wool, so that even people with sensitive skin can enjoy warm wool-based garments and the fresh winter.
BAMBULL® SWITCH – WARMER
Bambull® Switch is a reversible base layer garment with a two-layer design. One side has bamboo viscose for itch-free softness against the skin, while the other side has superfine merino wool for warmth. Turn the garment over for double comfort!
This garment is warmer than classic Bambull® as the merino wool side can be worn against the body for increased warmth. The bamboo viscose is soft, non-itchy and hypoallergenic, ideal for mild to cool temperatures. It absorbs sweat well and provides a cooling effect when you are standing still. In colder conditions, turn the garment so that the merino wool side faces the body to keep you warm.
The merino wool keeps you warm even when wet and regulates the temperature. It is 18.5 micron super fine wool, and is usually not itchy. A small merino sheep symbol on the sleeve/leg indicates the wool side, which also has a pattern.
FROST - WARMER
Tufte's Frost baselayer is warm, light and incredibly soft, made from 100% superfine, 18.5 micron merino wool. The natural and wonderful properties of wool will keep you warm even if you get wet or sweaty, and it is temperature regulating so you are warm in the cold and cool in the heat. Frost is a thin innermost layer that is used next to the skin. Dress in layers with Villeple on the inside for good warmth. Perfect under a sweater or shirt on a chilly day, or under a thicker sweater or jacket out on a trip. The garments can also be worn alone on mild or cool days. We use 100% super fine merino wool in our Frost series. The properties of wool are unique and wonderful:
• Wool absorbs moisture and generates heat
• Wool acts as a temperature regulator and is not static
• Wool reduces the smell of sweat as the moisture is released from the fibers when it dries
• Wool does not need to be washed to be clean
• Wool is naturally more fireproof than most other fibres
