Importance of layering for cold weather

As a kid, your mom made sure to remind you to dress for the weather and most likely fought tooth and nail to keep you warm. Now as an adult you can’t put enough clothes on to stay warm.

The Basics of Layering

You regulate your comfort level by adding or removing layers as the weather changes by layering. It is crucial when you spend long hours outdoors.

How to Layer

Did you know that there is a method to the madness? Yes, a proper layering system that works together will keep you warm and prevent dangerous exposure to freezing weather. Proper layering will help maintain your core body heat by protecting you from cold elements like wind, rain, snow, sleet, fog, and freezing rain.

Base layer (next to skin fit layer): High breathability and dries quickly
Middle layer (Insulating layer): Provides unmatched warmth and greater protection
Outer layer (Heavy-duty layer): Highly resistant to wind, water and sheds snow
Head layer: Breathable and wind-resistance
