However, it is not just the sustainability of the material that is important, but also performance. But first things first. The two garments come beautifully packaged in space- and material-saving small boxes, so here too there are already a few points in the sustainability area. Otherwise, the body mapping is noticeable: in some areas the material is rather thin and airy, in others a little thicker and therefore warmer. However, this is not exaggerated and, in my opinion, sensibly implemented. In general, the underwear is more on the thinner and breathable side and therefore more suitable for active athletes who need to wick away sweat, rather than for notorious chilblains.
The Salt and Pepper baselayers are close-fitting, which not only improves the wicking away of moisture, but also benefits the onion system. They are very comfortable to wear thanks to the pronounced stretch and the beautifully soft material. When it comes to the fit, it is also noticeable that both the trousers and the shirt overlap quite well and therefore cover the kidney area nicely. I like this and it also ensures that you stay nicely wrapped up in your underwear, even when you're getting rough.
