The Silkys base layer brings a luxurious feeling in a lightweight form.”

Hot Chillys was the first performance fit base layer to take high tech fabrics that were previously found in performance running wear and winterize them to provide thermal protection against the elements. From its launch in 1985 to present, this tried and true brand provides thermal comfort for the whole family. Promoting the pursuit of fun outdoors in every season, Hot Chillys utilizes cutting edge technology to keep people dry and warm in every activity.
