ESKO BASE1 LONG SLEEVE TOP (A4TTOP-BLKB) Let's face it, wearing a heavy, bunchy cotton tee under your work gear just leaves you sodden with sweat and chafed raw by lunchtime. The Esko Base1 is inspired by high-performance sports training gear but completely redesigned to handle a bit of stick on a Kiwi job site. Whether you're crawling under a house, reaching for a wire, or hitting the local bakery for a pie, this technical base layer moves with you all day without annoying bunching. Why we’d actually wear these: 70% Polypro / 20% Polyamide / 10% Elastane Blend: This high-tech synthetic weave is built for the trade. The 10% elastane content ensures maximum stretch, allowing your arms and shoulders total freedom of movement when you're lifting or swinging a hammer. Seamless Body Mapping Construction: Traditional stitched seams can rub you raw under a tool belt or safety harness. This top wraps around your torso completely seamless, giving you a smooth fit that guarantees a chafe-free day on the tools. Biomechanically Enhanced Support: Features targeted panels that provide supportive pressure to your core and major muscle groups. It keeps you feeling solid and reduces muscle fatigue through those long hours of bending, lifting, and stretching, while still letting you move freely. Lightweight & Quick-Dry Tech: This fabric is exceptionally light and draws moisture away from your skin instantly. By pulling sweat away, it keeps you dry and comfortable when you're working up a sweat, and prevents you from getting that freezing cold chill when you stop for a breather. The Ultimate Technical Layering Piece: Designed with a low-profile, athletic fit that acts like a second skin. It fits beautifully under your flannel shirt, hi-vis polo, or heavy winter jacket with zero bulk. Tested in the Hawke’s Bay elements. Available for local pickup in Napier or fast NZ-wide shipping.
