Has anyone used these or have them. Never heard of it before found a company called Brynje out of Norway. Was wondering if the claims are true and how it's works over a normal solid merino/ blend base. I probably wouldn't use the bottoms but definitely the tops. Thanks
 
We use to wear similar under body armor some years ago for duty. Supposedly for ventilation, but didn't work as efficiently as synthetic undershirts.
 
I actually seen a video on this just the other day. Supposedly a lot of US mil switch to this type of base layer when going to a cold weather deployment. Not sure exactly how this would be more beneficial vs a solid say wool base layer.
 
I've been looking at these too. I sweat a lot so getting moisture away from the skin to evaporate or be absorbed by the mid layer quickly appeals to me. The gaps in the mess is supposed to allow that to happen very quickly but the gaps also create a larger air gap for insulation. I'll probably try them next season.

Are you going to get this brand? Or have you found another
 
I haven't used Brynje but I do have some mesh base layers from Aclima that are great. Wear the mesh layer against your skin and if really cold/stationary, layer your standard or heated base layers over the mesh. You could also get the doublewool line from Aclima that is mesh inside, standard merino outside. The mesh layers handle moisture much better than standard base layers and also trap more warm air next to your skin.
