ORIGINAL FABRICS

‘DIOMEDE’ by BERINGIA

Beringia’s Masters of Bishu line features ‘Diomede’, a proprietary fabric that seamlessly knits multiple layers of fabric into one ultra-stretchy waffle. The collection underwent 2 years of testing and design refinement in the wettest, snowiest conditions in the Japanese Alps before release.

By combining different knits into one single fabric we can move excess heat and humidity into the air (active) and trap more dry air between the layers (passive). The outer waffle is resilient to the point of feeling almost spongy, providing an unheard-of 2:1 ratio of stretchable comfort, with a bold but elegant cross-hatched waffle texture.

Made with 91% Merino, Collagen finish (Chlorine Free), machine washable, this is the softest-lightest merino shirt built for high performance and a broad comfort range.

Springtime in BC

Weather variance in the Valhallas in late March and April is a thing. Shedding layers on the up track only goes as far as your base layer and while I did manage to sweat my ass off, the Diomede Snorkel hoody wicked it and dried quickly. The snorkel is magic when you rise above the trees, the wind kicks up and you’re able to keep the sideways flying graupel from getting into your ears. The bonus is that you can wear this for four straight days or more and it doesn’t get stinky. A quick wash with short, low heat dry cycle will put it back into perfect form.

WILL SHRINK INTO CHILDREN'S SIZED CLOTHING

This is a truly phenomenal baselayer. The feel is very soft, the breathability is fantastic, and the snorkel hoody makes for a great adjustment during ski tours or days on the resort when you want to add a little more warmth to your head.

THAT BEING SAID.... DO NOT PUT THIS THING IN THE DRYER... or it will shrink into a children's garment. I've ruined my base layer just doing my laundry so be warned.

Best base layer I ever owned.

Definitely the best base layer I ever owned, and I have tried many in my guiding life. Top breathability. Super comfortable. I use it when guiding clients, for my trail running training, when taking care of kids in freezing playgrounds :). A best friend on cold days!

Breathable, warm, stretchy

This is my new favorite baselayer for typical winter resort skiing and backcountry skiing when it's sufficiently cold (highs in the teens). As the title says, it is very breathable, warm, stretch. It offers little to no wind resistance so I only use if for tours when it's cold enough to have a breathable wind shell over it. The hood is hinged like a balaclava which makes it more versatile in my opinion. A word on sizing, I am a solid size L in Beringia outerwear (St. Elias jacket and Tsurugi anorak) and own both a M and L in . The M is very form fitting, the L more loose fitting. Overall I prefer the tight fitting M for performance use, it has plenty of stretch for me. If they added thumbhole loops for easier layering this would be the most perfect baselayer ever made!

150 days and pretty impressed

Got this at the beginning of last winter, I guide in the Yukon and Nunavut and thought it would be a good addition to my closet full of base layers, but found myself reaching for it whenever temps were below -10....which is all the time up here. Fit is comfortable, and fabric is soft against my skin and there are NO bulky seams. Even used it as a base layer for winter running. All in all a really high quality product that is very warm!
