Episode 38: Baselayers - Tight Fit

Cathy Casey and Wayne Singleton

Get in touch!

Cathy and Wayne are joined once again by the brilliant Stuart Smith to discuss  undergarments.

You'll hear all about why a baselayer should be close fitting to work effectively in our climate, how they work, why some niff more than others, how to make a stinky baselayer smell better (and last longer), the difference between natural and man made fibres and what is good merino vs bad merino.
There are tales a-plenty (including vanishing underwear) but beware - you may never be able to eat a Polo mint again!

Listen ,learn, laugh and if you are able, please consider donating to our chosen charity: Wayne Singleton is swimming the coastline of Cumbria for Brathay Trust
