Fishnet base layers. They work, and you want them.

No, no base layer is meant for 80° F.

Only base layer for 80 is a bday suit!

Someone forgot to tell my father-in-law. He wore a set of woolens 365 days a year, working outside as a railroad carman in the continental climate of St. Paul, MN. He also worked bare-handed on his own car in January. I have no idea how he did either one.

Thanks. Yeah I know it was a dumb question. Standard base layers for sure, I just wasn’t sure if there was any moisture prevention capabilities of mesh base layers in higher temps. Which I’m sure obviously not the case, but I’d hate to misunderstand a use case if it indeed existed.

I might have to offer a dissenting opinion / experience - I wear my Aclimas in those temps. Don't find that I heat up because of them, but do find that they keep my shirt from sticking to my skin - and the play of air over the holes keeps me more comfortable than shirt only.

But for context: I'm used to temps far higher and wear merino base layers all year round on regular days, so ...

I wore the Byrnje synthetic top under a sun hoodie, up to almost 100F (dry heat), and I find I'm more comfortable than with the sun hoodie direct-to-skin... I did not wear the bottoms (under my pants), nor would I probably wear the merino version...
