What is the best base layer brands for backpacking? Whats the warmest and lightest?
A base layer is usually what you wear on top of your under pants and hike in all day. Still, one could switch out their shirt and pants for long underwear-type clothes, and then those would become the base layer and your shirt and pants would go on next.
For most hiking conditions I wear a 100% polyester t-shirt made by Duofold or Mountain Hardwear, and 100% nylon zip off cargo style pants from REI, Campmor, or Sportif USA. If it's hot I'll zip off the pants to make shorts. http://www.rei.com/product/680108

In the tropics or desert I'd wear a button front long sleeved 100% synthetic shirt like the Mountain Hardwear Canyon Shirt. http://www.altrec.com/shop/detail/16628/
If it was winter I have a lightweight 100% polyester Marmot long underwear zip-t. And REI 100% polyester long underwear pants. http://www.rei.com/OM/style/754884?cm_mmc=cse_froogle-_-datafeed-_-product-_-na&mr:trackingCode=792139D6-30C5-DC11-BE2A-001422107090&mr:referralID=NA
