Breathable & heat regulating with far infrared care. Base layer comfort and outerwear versatility.

Story

 

 

Dressing in multilayers is how we keep ourselves warm—a thin base layer, a sweater, and a jacket, and we’re all good for the crisp and chill. However, when we enter an indoor space or sweat during exercise, we started to feel too warm, damp, and stuffy. When this happens, it is not so convenient to take the long underwear off in public or to move around with heavy outerwear in hand. 

We’re here to make things easier. 

We created BASE+ with the vision to revolutionize the concept of everyday wear and layering clothing. Unlike conventional thermals, BASE+ can cut down your apparel, keeping you comfy and active from fall to spring, from outdoor to indoor.

We took inspiration from the concept of mountaineering layering and assembled the key elements—moisture wicking, heat regulating, and outer protection—into one design, using the double layer structure to leverage the strength of each textile.

HOMI BASE+’s double layer design integrates various features into one piece. The outer layer gives your body the basic protection against the outside world; the inner layer provides everything you want from next to skin clothing; the additional far infrared fabric used in highlighted areas helps improve blood circulation.

Taking Thermal Experience to the Next Level

As shoulders and elbow joints get cold the fastest and heat up the slowest in our upper body, we add an additional far infrared layer to these parts to provide extra protection. It helps strengthen your overall circulation and relax tight shoulder muscles.

The far infrared fabric can absorb, emit, and reflect far infrared rays from the human body. The ray can go through the skin to resonate and generate heat, which boosts blood flow and relieves muscle pain. 

This additional fabric provides extra warmth, optimum thermal performance, and muscle relaxation without disturbing the other features provided by the base layer fabric.

Zippered Sleeve Pocket

Keep your valuable necessities at hand

BASE+ brings you not only comfort but also convenience. Without disturbing the shirt’s silhouette, we added a hidden pocket with YKK zippers to the left sleeve. This tiny pocket is ideal for your essential items, such as cards, wireless earbuds, or bills. It can be very handy when you are on the move!

 

Moisture Wicking & Breathable

Feel fresh and clean at all times

Does your long underwear make you feel stifling and constrictive sometimes? Then try HOMI BASE+. The special fabric used for its inner layer has a similar fiber structure to Merino wool, which performs superbly in moisture wicking and breathability. 

Our fabric is excellent in dispersing and spreading the moisture out, transporting moisture away and activating evaporative cooling. So when your body releases moisture or perspiration, they will be transported away as vapors immediately, keeping you cool and dry.

Thermal Insulating & Regulating

Retaining heat the professional way

Our body temperature changes during and after we exercise, and usually we have to adjust ourselves to feel comfortable by constantly taking off or putting on clothes. Now, BASE+ is here to handle all the work with SUSTAIN THERMO TECH

 

Preventing the heat from escaping is the core of SUSTAIN THERMO TECH. In addition to the fine fibers that trap body heat, the double layer structure creates an in-shirt insulation space that retains the warm air, keeping you snug and flexible. 

Hypoallergenic & Soft Texture

No pesky pilling after washing

We make sure that the inner layer of BASE+ is smooth and sleek, touching your skin gently enough just like your favorite undershirt. The skin-friendly fabric is soft, stretchy, and doesn’t pill. It remains smooth after the wash, causing no itchy feelings.

Antimicrobial & Anti-Odor

Silver Nano fights against the unpleasant

The excellent wicking ability of the base layer keeps the fabric dry, which already stops the odor-causing factors from thriving. In addition to that, we apply the Silver Nano clothing technology to the outer fabric.

Silver nanoparticles reduce the factors that cause undesirable smells by penetrating their cell wall. With this antimicrobial shield, you can walk around feeling jaunty and clean.

 

Wind & Sun Resistant UPF 50+

Fewer worries on the road

No matter if you are biking in the city, running in the evening, or hiking on a sunny day, BASE+ protects your skin from chills and ultraviolet rays. The double layer structure not only provides UPF 50+ sun protection but also blocks mild winds. 

Quick Drying & Wrinkle Free

Your new favorite daily wear

The special diamond lattice knitted fabric is quick drying, wrinkle free, and won’t shrink or stretch after washing. It will always be sleek and ready for you to put on and head out.

BASE+ is a T-shirt that you can wear comfortably from day to night, from fall to spring. And it is durable and easy to take care of! 

Reflective Stripes

Functional adornment for your safety

When jogging or biking during nighttime, we often need to pay close attention to vehicles coming from our side. To improve the wearers’ safety, we added reflective stripes to the cuff. The reflection will move along with your swinging arms to increase your visibility from various angles.

 

365CAP: Triple Layer Cap to Protect Your Head All Year Round

Do you also feel stuffy and sweaty when wearing a hat for a long time? As our head is what we need to protect first when confronting the freezing wind or burning sun, we created a hat that gives you optimum comfort and protection in all kinds of weather conditions.

Similar to the design concept of BASE+, 365CAP uses the triple layer structure to insulate the heat and regulate your head temperature, keeping your head sung in winter and cool in summer. This is a hat that you can wear all year round!

 

 

 

We are here to help you keep life as simple as possible. Designed with the multilayer concept, HOMI BASE+ and 365CAP provide excellent features that help you wear smarter and say goodbye to stuffy garment. While BASE+ can be worn all day in fall, winter, and spring, 365CAP can accompany you in all seasons. 

Versatile in style, these two everyday wear can accompany you when you are moving around in the city, venture into the great outdoors, or even chilling at home. Designed for urbanites and adventurers, HOMI BASE+ and 365CAP keep you sharp, fresh, and active at the most comfortable temperature all the time!

 

HOMI BASE+ and 365CAP accompanied award winning traceur Yoann Leroux to overcome all the complex environments—from the ground to the top, and from the labyrinthine backstreets in Paris to the great outdoors. 

During his parkour and free running sessions, the highly breathable, moisture wicking, and heat regulating features of BASE+ continually kept his body at the most comfortable state, and the sun and wind resistant feature saved him from wearing another extra layer of cloth. Plus the head protection provided by 365CAP, HOMI’s optimized activewear helped Yoann stay comfy, light, and sharp in his daily training and extreme sports activities.

After creating a series of optimized thermal outerwear, we wanted to focus on next-to-skin apparel. We were picturing a design that can be an alternative to multilayer clothing and can be worn every day on various occasions. To bring this idea to life, we brainstormed on all the features to put on one T-shirt and researched the fabrics and structure. From selecting the fabrics to testing, producing the prototypes, and finalizing the design, we paid attention to every detail and aimed to generate the best outcome. 

Our products are 100% made in Taiwan. We use high quality materials and work with established local manufacturers. We also produce the products according to bluesign® and OEKO-TEX® standards, making sure that our production is sustainable and energy-efficient. After all the planning, testing, and prototypes, we are now proud to present our design and are ready for mass production.
