Layering

Yes - layering traps pockets of air between garments, which act as insulation. It also allows you to fine-tune your warmth by adding or removing pieces as your activity level or the weather changes. Our Layering for Adventure guide shows how to use layers that adapt naturally to any adventure, so you can enjoy every moment outdoors.

Many people pile on too many thick layers, use cotton as a base, or ignore ventilation. These missteps can leave you cold, sweaty, or uncomfortable. Choosing the right fabrics and adjusting layers strategically avoids these issues.

Pay attention to body signals: dampness or chills mean it’s time to add warmth; overheating or sweat signals it’s time to remove a layer. Adjusting continuously keeps you comfortable throughout the day.
