There are three broad categories of layers that people wear. Figuring out the best combinations takes trial and error but hopefully this basic information helps you with that task!​

​

Base Layer​

• This is the layer closest to your skin. Think long underwear, leggings, and skintight clothing.

• This layer should be moisture wicking: it keeps your skin dry and dries easily.

​

Mid Layer​

• This is the insulation.

• People use down coats and puffy layers to trap warm air close to the body.

• This is the layer that has the most variability, with fleeces, puffys, sweatshirts, pullovers, sweaters, and down jackets

​

Outer Layer

• This is the final layer that should be wind resistant and water resistant.

• Make sure that this jacket is large enough to fit over your other layers!
