Rooster PolyPro™ Top - Men’s
The ultimate multi-purpose base layer. The men’s Rooster PolyPro™ Top is a warm, next-to-skin thermal with a soft brushed fleece interior. A longer hem and thumb loops make layering easy, while the double-lined high neck adds comfort in cold, windy conditions.
What makes this top good
- Hydrophobic PolyPro™ fabric - feels remarkably dry even when damp for all-day comfort.
- Brushed fleece inner - thick, soft texture that traps warmth next to the skin.
- Designed for layering - long length and thumb loops slide cleanly under LongJohns, wetsuits or shells.
- High, double-lined neck - extra coverage and comfort when the breeze picks up.
- Quick drying & breathable - ideal for repeated sessions, travel and training.
- Stretch fit - supportive, low-bulk base that moves with you.
On-water performance
Built as a true base layer for cold-weather paddling, sailing and outdoor training. The hydrophobic fibres wick moisture away from your skin, the fleece interior adds warmth without bulk, and the longer cut stays tucked during portages, step-backs and sailing. Wear it under a ThermaFlex™ top/LongJohn or beneath a dry layer when the temperature drops.
