Winter layering, explained
What to wear on a winter walk
Three thin layers beat one thick one — one moves the sweat off your skin, one holds the heat in, one keeps the weather out. Leave one out and the other two stop working. Five questions below tell you which one you are missing.
Two minutes, five questions
Most people are missing one layer. Find out which.
Getting cold, soaked or clammy usually comes down to a single gap in what you own — and it is almost never the jacket.
- A checklist of what your system still needs
- What a good version of each layer does
- What to skip, so you do not buy twice
- Size and colour, straight into your basket

What you do not need
This belongs in the answer too. We would rather sell you nothing than the wrong thing.
How it works
Three thin layers beat one thick one
Each layer has one job. Sweat moves out through all three, wind and rain stop at the outside. Miss one and the other two cannot do theirs.
01
Moves the sweat
The base layer, cut close so it carries moisture off the skin before it cools there. A damp base layer is what makes you cold on the first stop.
02
Holds the warmth
The mid layer. The only one that is actually warm, and the one people get wrong by buying something with no way to vent it on a climb.
03
Stops the weather
The shell. Wind and rain out, and the sweat the other two moved still able to get away.
Leave one out and the other two stop working.
