Puma Baselayers

A Puma base layer is the kit players never see but always feel. Worn next to the skin under a shirt or training top, it manages sweat, holds in warmth on cold nights and takes the sting out of a winter session. At SX Sports we stock Puma baselayers as part of our wider Puma sportswear range, chosen for clubs, schools and Sunday league sides who want their players comfortable from the first whistle to the last.

Baselayers are a core part of any cold-weather setup, which is why they sit alongside the rest of our Puma training kit. Whether you are ordering a handful for the first team or enough to cover every age group, we can help you get the right sizes across the club.

What a Puma base layer actually does

When a coach searches for a Puma base layer, they are usually thinking about one of two things: keeping players warm in winter or keeping them dry in summer. A good baselayer does both. The close, compressive fit sits against the skin and uses moisture-wicking fabric to pull sweat away, so players stay drier and more comfortable however hard the session gets.

A base layer worn under a shirt regulates temperature far better than an extra loose layer on top. That is why so many players wear one year-round, adding warmth in the cold months and helping the body stay cool when it heats up.

A Puma base layer is a close-fitting, moisture-wicking layer worn under kit to keep players warm in winter and dry in summer.

Long-sleeve baselayer tops for cold-weather training

The long sleeved baselayer is the piece most clubs order first, because it makes the biggest difference on a freezing training night. The Puma teamLIGA Baselayer Long Sleeve Tee is a good example, cut close with stretch fabric that moves with the player and layers cleanly under a shirt or jersey. Baselayer tops like this are light enough that players barely notice them, but they take the edge off the cold and help muscles stay warm.

On the coldest nights, players wear a baselayer under their shirt and add training sweatshirts over the top for warm-ups, then strip back down once the session is underway. Layering like this is the simplest way to keep a squad comfortable through winter.

Baselayer shorts for comfort and support

Baselayer shorts are the other half of the range, worn under match or training shorts for a bit of support and to stop chafing over 90 minutes. The Puma teamLIGA Baselayer Short uses the same light compression and wicking fabric as the tops, giving players a snug, comfortable fit that stays put as they move. Plenty of players who would not think to wear a baselayer top still swear by the shorts, especially on artificial pitches where the extra layer helps.

Junior and adult baselayers for the whole club

We stock Puma baselayers in both junior and adult sizing, so every age group can benefit from the same warmth and comfort. A junior baselayer is particularly worth having for youth teams playing through winter, when young players feel the cold quickly and a warm, dry layer can be the difference between a good session and a miserable one.

Getting the fit right matters more with baselayers than most kit, because they are designed to sit close to the skin. Our team can help you choose sizes across a squad of mixed ages, so every player gets the snug fit a base layer needs to work properly.

Can you personalise Puma baselayers?

Baselayers are worn under kit, so they do not need the same level of branding as a shirt or jacket. That said, we can add club initials or a small crest where the fabric allows, using our in-house DTF printing and embroidery, which is useful for clubs that want everything in the kit bag marked up. If you are ordering baselayers as part of a larger custom order, most personalised items are completed in 2 to 3 weeks. We will always tell you upfront what can and cannot be printed on a given fabric, rather than promising a finish that will not last.

How Puma baselayers fit your full training kit

A baselayer is one layer in a bigger cold-weather setup, so it helps to think about what goes over the top.

For warm-ups, travel and the walk back to the changing room, our Puma hoodies give players a comfortable outer layer that pairs naturally with a baselayer underneath on cold days.
