    I had fishnet base layer in the late 1970's. But IIRC, the coarse netting chafed - especially on the shoulders under packs - so when polypro came out, I was glad to switch and still use. But the Brynje shirt in the video, with solid shoulders, might have solved the chafe problem by now. Always something new!

      That is a great point about chafing. I wondered why I never heard of mesh inner layer before, until now in 2024. And I grew up wearing all kinds of outdoor winter clothing, so I am always reading/watching videos on what is the best material/methods. I ever had long johns that were made of a thin silk material. This was back in the early 1980s (I wore it as a base layer, when doing long distance running in very cold weather).

    I was using those mesh layers in the 70s also; still have them. They did the job very well, but were made of cotton. Patagonia arrived in the early 80s and the polypro revolution was born--great one that transformed so much, but the mesh idea was a good one and should have been retained. Great to see it thriving again--will buy Brynje shortly and try it out.

I don't anticipate going below -10 often, but maybe high as +35-40. I was thinking of using some sort of mesh layer along with a thin 120gsm merino or merino-lyocell shirt, layered with a 200gsm merino fleece, and montbell 1000 down vest/rain shell. Figured I would give the wool mesh a shot since it may not be washed frequently.

    Brynje is indeed highly recommended (not so much experience with Aclima). They offer summer and winter net clothing, and both work great in warm/cold conditions. I typically wear my Brynje base layer (pants and shirt, which is quite expensive) in the summer for multi-day hikes as it dries so fast over night or during longer breaks, and doesn’t smell thah bad. And for cross-country skiing in the winter, where staying dry is even more important when you cool down. The only thing I regret is that I didn’t know about this gear during my 12 yrs in the German military. I guess I could’ve avoided quite a few colds :)

    I'd say it comes down to the US being closer to the equator. Every time I see Norway, UK or some other Northen hiking trip it is always windy and colder than 90% of conditions I'll encounter. Instead give me a layer I can remove. And a layer is still a layer trapping in wramth and the sweat throughout the day regardless of whatever claim you make.

      I tend to think its personal preference. We've tried the wool and synthetic Brynje tops and bottoms and so far prefer the synthetic for long distance multi-day hikes. Primary reasons are it dries faster, is lighter, less expensive, and easier to wash when in town.
      Have not had an issue with either fabric holding odor and both seem to insulate (and vent) just as well. The wool is a little stretchier and has a tighter weave (smaller holes). I think you can't go wrong with either material. Hope this helps!

I remember being told a pack of mistruths about Goretex and after decades of miracle fabrics that didn't live up to their hype, people are rediscovering real things like wool and fishnet base layers. Misleading marketing killed fishnet in Canada. For people who work in real cold, (-40 and lower) the only serious clothing is caribou skin.

    Fish net is the real thing. In the 1970's I bought my fishnet from REI, they had the North American rights to Brynje. along came poly pro the new wonder fiber and REI stopped selling fishnet. It was just a year ago that I discovered Brynje and back wearing and they dealerships in the USA and Canada. . This past week I took three twenty five mile bike rides on the paved trail near my home. In all three rides the temperature was just above freezing 0C, 32F. On each ride I wore the same mid layer and wind shell. I wore the base layer the mid layer and the wind shell, with no moisture barrier. All three layers were untucked. The first ride was with fishnet base layer, the second with merino. The third with brand 32 degrees Cool . A very light weight poly pro with thousands of pin holes. The most comfortable ride was with the fish net. When I finished the ride the poly pro fish net was bone dry, the wool mid layer was slightly damp to the touch. The second day was the merino base layer. The merino was only slightly moist to the touch. The mid layer was slightly damp to the touch. The third day was the 32 degree poly pro. I was interested to see if the tiny hole would transport the moisture away from the base layer. When I finished the ride, the base layer was slightly damp but dried within seconds. of removing it. the wool mid layer was slightly damp to the touch. This was not planned as an experiment, it just happened to wear three different base layer and the temp was the same. As well as the route and the 10-12 mile wind. In none of the three variations of the base layering was there a significant difference in "Feels Like" I would rate the fishnet as my comfort favorite as well as the best transporter of moisture vapor.
    The Fish net is worth the price, you will have them for years even if you wear them 365 days year. The poly pro will last forever, the cotton version is just as good but after years of everyday wear the armpits rot out. I The fishnet is very comfortable to sleep in. I only wore the bottoms when the temperature was minus 10 to 20 F. But it may be different for you.

      Great feedback on your experience and ad-hoc testing with fishnet...thanks! It echoes our shorter-term experience, and is what I was hoping would be our longer-term experience. We're finding the mesh benefits you mention are only magnified when wearing the layers hiking for multiple days straight without being able to get indoors and dry off or warm up. We're also wearing them as camp/sleep clothes after wearing them all day since they are essentially dry and warm yet breathable. We are also playing around with what we put on top of the mesh while moving...windshirt, wool/synthetic zip-neck hoodie, pants/shorts, etc. It really feels like a magical fabric and design, and we're hoping we can help others out by spreading the word!

      @@hypnogri5457 being popular does not mean it wont be expensive plenty of popular things are very expensive. only time being in demand drops price is if mass production actually drops the cost of production alot. most of these mesh base lasers are made from marino wool that is not cheap to start with due to all the labor involved in rearing the sheep and shearing, and processing. then to turn that wool into products. mass production for these would not drop the price all that much really unless they make versions out of cheaper materials.
      look at leatherman they are popular but not at all cheap and are produced in large numbers, even on the used market they are not cheap. so popularity is not always a factor in price. not to mention lower price tends to also mean lower quality in most cases, not always but most of the time an exception would be Mora Knives.

    I think it’s a fetishized material now. I tried it but it just reminded me of sexy club kids. I’m not sure I’m sexy enough for a mesh base layer.

    I had a brynje mesh base layer. This hype is overrated. I thow it away although it was expensive. When I sweat the mesh soaks full with water and feels very unconfortable. It is crap and not suitable for hikers.
