"Layering seems like a pretty basic concept. The more you put on, the warmer you are, right? But there's quite a lot more to it than just that. Material, zipper options, use case, and more can impact when and how you wear a specific piece of clothing. This video from Helly Hansen brings former American alpine ski racer Kaylin Richardson to discuss layering on the mountain. If done correctly, three layers really is all you'll need."
"A base layer is what you wear directly on your skin, and it should be made from a material that will keep you dry on the mountain (like merino wool). The mid layer creates dead air space to keep you warm, trapping your body heat. It doesn't necessarily need to be super thick, just super effective. The mid is often what's removed, as well, if you're feeling too hot."
Proper mountain layering uses three layers: a base, a mid, and an outer jacket to regulate warmth and moisture. The base layer contacts the skin and should use moisture-wicking materials such as merino wool to keep skin dry. The mid layer traps dead air to retain body heat and can be lightweight yet effective; it is often the layer removed when exertion causes overheating. The outer jacket must block wind and precipitation while remaining breathable to expel internal moisture. Material choices, zipper and ventilation options, and the intended use affect when and how each piece is worn on the mountain.
