Baselayers for padel
Our Baselayers page for padel brings together our tips for choosing technical underwear: long-sleeve base tops for outdoor courts in winter, shorts or skirt liners, compression tights made of breathable fibers, to keep you dry and warm all year round.
The first layer, for playing throughout the year.
Play All Year Round
Padel can be played all year long, often on outdoor courts exposed to cold and wind in winter, and to heat in summer. The baselayer, worn close to the body, manages these extremes: it wicks away sweat during intense rallies to prevent cooling during breaks, and adds a layer of warmth without bulk or discomfort in cold weather. It is worn under a t-shirt, shorts or a skirt.
The Rest of the Textile
The padel textile also comes in:
All the textile is gathered on the textile page.
The Models
The long-sleeved base layer, fitted, keeps the arms and torso warm under a padel t-shirt, without restricting the shoulders during smashes and bandejas. The shorts, worn under shorts or a skirt, prevents chafing between the thighs and sometimes includes a pocket for a ball. The compression tights support the leg muscles during explosive movements and retain warmth during winter sessions.
How to Choose Them
Choose baselayers made of technical fibres, polyester or polyamide, which dry quickly, or merino, which regulates temperature and limits odours. The fit should be snug, without being tight, and flat seams to avoid irritation. Avoid cotton, which holds onto sweat. Wash your baselayers at thirty degrees, inside out, without fabric softener, and let them air dry.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you need a baselayer to play padel in winter?
On outdoor courts, often exposed to wind, a long-sleeved base layer keeps the torso warm without bulk. It prevents cooling between points when the sweat from the previous rally cools the body.
What compression should you choose for padel tights?
A light compression supports the thighs and calves during sprints to the glass, without restricting movement. A strong compression, reserved for recovery, can become uncomfortable during a long match.
Does a technical undergarment have a place on the court in summer?
Yes, a thin, sleeveless version wicks away sweat faster than cotton and limits chafing. Some light and breathable fabrics also protect the skin from the sun during outdoor matches.
How should you wear tights under a padel short or skirt?
It should stop mid-thigh or just above the knee, without sticking out of the shorts awkwardly. Choose a snug fit so it doesn’t ride up during low lunges and glass defences.
How to avoid odours on technical clothing?
Wash them quickly after the session, inside out and at a low temperature, without fabric softener. Some treated fibres naturally limit odours, and a rinse with white vinegar helps eliminate them on synthetic fabrics.
