 Layering
The idea
when wicking is to move moisture
away from your body and through your
clothing into the outside. Synthetic
fabrics such as Polyester are water
phobic therefore dry very quickly.
This not only helps you move
moisture away from your body, but
also gives you a quick wash time for
those longer trips.
 Fleece

wool because it weighs less and
compresses smaller and dries
quicker.

windproof and highly water
resistant with a slicker feeling
outer face. These fleece work
well as a mid layer and an outer
layer.

A
windproof mid-layer stops the
transition of insulating air
from escaping and adds an
element of warmth without
effecting breathability
 Underwear

One of the most important and
most ignored elements of
layering
