A classic performance base layer, the Helly Hansen Stripe Crew for men is a favorite choice among skiers, climbers, sailors, kayakers and backpackers. Compared to traditional thermal underwear designs, the Stripe Crew is exceptionally breathable and wicks away perspiration considerably faster than some active foundation apparel. Helly Hansen applied flat lock stitching throughout their Stripe Crew to prevent chafing while wearing a backpack or climbing gear. Unlike some performance base layers, the Helly Hansen Stripe Crew has a slightly dropped hem in back for additional coverage when you're skiing or snowboarding. The Helly Hansen Stripe Crew for men features low bulk cuffs for easy glove integration, but the sleeves offer a slightly looser fit compared to the closer fit throughout the torso. Many guys view the loose sleeve fit as an added benefit, especially if they tend to roll up their sleeves after the sun dries out the morning dew.
