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.

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.

Your skin
01 Base Moves the sweat
02 Mid Holds the warmth
03 Shell Stops the weather

Sweat out → ← Wind and rain

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.
