| Difference between thermal and baselayer?
I always though they are the same thing but apparently not. So what's the difference? Is the material they are made out of? Or is thermal more tight around your body while base layer is more lose?

For me, base layer is anything that wicks moisture away from the body. Thermal layers can also do this. So it'd be easy to confuse the two.
Thermal layer is anything that has insulation. I've never use the term thermal layers very much so I'm not familiar with them. Here's my take on it. I think long johns, which can be made of cotton can be thermal layer but doesn't take away moisture. Cotton actually absorbs moisture really well, so it's a terrible if you're going to sweat out or be in the rain.

looked up some more info on it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Layered_clothing
I think the thermal layer could be a mid layer according to the wiki.

Pretty much. Anytime you'll get wet or sweat, is when you'll want a base layer.
For example, working outside; landscaping or construction, it's nice to have a thermal base layer like Helly Hanson has at sports checks.
