Why choose technical base layers from Odlo?

A pioneering brand since 1946

Odlo is an iconic brand in the world of technical clothing, founded in 1946 by Odd Lofterød Sr. From the start, the brand innovated by creating a stretchy temperature-regulating suit, revolutionizing the outfits of cross-country skiers and speed skaters.

In 1964, these nylon suits made their debut at the Olympic Games. In 1972, at the Sapporo Games, over 25 teams equipped themselves with the Odlo Thermic, the first synthetic technical base layer designed to keep athletes dry while maintaining ideal body temperature.

Technical base layers adapted to all activities

Designed to meet the needs of demanding athletes, Odlo technical base layers combine technology, comfort, and performance. Whether you are passionate about running, Nordic skiing, or hiking, you will find a model in the Odlo range suited to your intensity level and weather conditions.

Technologies for intensive activities

For sustained efforts like trail running or cross-country skiing, the Performance and Natural Performance lines are ideal. Their structure allows optimal management of body moisture, with excellent breathability and a fitted cut for maximum freedom of movement.

Comfort for everyday and moderate activities

If you practice low to moderate intensity activities like city walking or mountain strolls, the Active and Natural Active lines provide lasting comfort. Lightweight and soft, these pieces accompany you in all situations without compromising on technical performance.

Why opt for an Odlo thermal base layer?

Odlo base layers do more than keep you warm. Their innovative structure acts as a true thermal barrier. They are designed to work all year round, protecting you from the cold in winter and promoting cooling in summer.

Advantages of an Odlo technical base layer

• Advanced technologies for lasting performance

How to choose your Odlo technical base layer?

The choice of a technical base layer is not random. It depends on several essential factors:

• Type of activity: the more intense the effort, the more you should rely on breathable and compressive models.
• Weather conditions: in winter, prefer a thermal piece, while in mid-season, a lighter version is sufficient.
• Personal comfort: fitted or loose cut, texture, natural or technical materials... everything is a matter of feeling.

With Odlo, you are assured of a product tested and approved for decades by high-level athletes. Innovation is at the heart of every collection, helping you achieve your goals in the best conditions.
