Production of technical baselayers for hunting and outdoor use
Baselayers form the foundation of any functional layering system and have a direct impact on comfort, temperature regulation and performance during hunting and outdoor activities. Unlike outer and mid layers, base layers primarily focus on moisture management and thermal balance close to the body, where even small differences in materials can have a significant effect in practice.
At CD Company, we develop technical base layers with a focus on active use in varying climatic conditions. The materials must efficiently wick moisture away from the skin, dry quickly and help maintain a stable body temperature — whether the hunter is moving intensively or remaining stationary for extended periods. At the same time, base layers must work seamlessly with the other layers without creating friction or restricting movement.
Through our private label setup, we offer base layer solutions that can be tailored to different types of hunting, activity levels and market requirements — from lightweight summer baselayers to more protective solutions with integrated functional finishes.
Here, CD Company presents an example of a technical baselayer
Technical long-sleeve baselayer T-shirt for active hunting and outdoor use
This technical baselayer is developed as a lightweight and functional inner layer for hunting and outdoor activities with a high level of physical activity. The product is constructed from a lightweight polyester-based fabric that combines low weight with efficient moisture management and quick-drying performance.
The baselayer is designed to fit close to the body without feeling restrictive and functions as the primary layer in a layering system. The focus has been on creating a stable and comfortable inner layer that supports the body’s natural temperature regulation during both movement and periods of inactivity.
Material Technology and Functional Specifications
The choice of materials is based on technical properties that are essential for baselayers used in hunting and outdoor activities, where comfort and functionality close to the skin are key considerations.
Technical Data Sheet

The cationic-dyed polyester provides stable colour fastness and a consistent surface appearance, even after repeated washing and use.
Industrial Added Value: The Functional Foundation of the Layering System
This baselayer represents a technical and scalable solution for brands looking for a reliable inner layer with broad applicability. The combination of low weight, quick-drying performance and optional functional finishes makes the product well suited to hunting and outdoor activities where long-lasting comfort and hygiene are essential.
As the foundation of a layering system, the baselayer helps optimise the performance of both mid layers and outerwear. It reduces the risk of cooling down after activity and supports more stable temperature regulation throughout the day. The result is a technical baselayer that delivers consistent performance and long service life under demanding operational conditions.
Optimise your collection with technical baselayers
Developing an effective baselayer requires precision in both material selection and textile finishing, as this layer forms the foundation of the end user’s comfort. At CD Company, we understand that a baselayer is more than just a T-shirt — it is a technical component designed to perform under changing physiological and climatic conditions. We ensure that your products meet high standards for moisture management, ergonomics and durability.
Through our private label setup, we can tailor baselayers to match your brand’s technical profile precisely — whether the focus is on advanced insect protection, UV protection or odour-control technologies. We manage the entire process from initial fibre sourcing to final packaging, providing you with a reliable and scalable route to market. By choosing CD Company as your partner, your brand gains access to expertise that transforms complex textile requirements into functional solutions that hunters and outdoor enthusiasts can rely on.
