The Art of Layering | From base to outer layer

By choosing the right combination of layers to suit your needs you’ll be able to pack less, perform better and go further.

Combining the right garments and materials in layers with different functions will make your outdoor adventures much warmer, drier and more enjoyable. Whether you're bike commuting to work in unpredictable spring weather or ice climbing in the freezing cold, a good layering system is invaluable. We'll help you master the basics of the art of layering.

It all starts with the base layer

The idea of a great base layer is to wick moisture away from your body to keep you warm and dry. All our base layers are warm, super-soft and made entirely from technical natural materials like Merino wool and Tencel Lyocell. The base layer helps regulate your body temperature, has natural antibacterial properties and keeps you warm even when it gets damp.

Add warmth with a midlayer

The primary purpose of a midlayer is to provide heat, regardless of what you’re doing or how the weather turns out. Since the start 30 years ago we have specialized in warm, functional and smart mid layers that will enhance the experience of every adventure.

Find a shell layer for your needs

The outer shell layer should protect you from all kinds of weather — wind, water, snow and dirt. Our selection of shells range from softshells and light running jackets to fully waterproof rain jackets, skiing and mountaineering shells and winter coats that will protect you from any blizzard or downpour. All our shells are 100% PFAS-free.

Spot insulation

Smart warmth where you need it the most. Build from the inside or on top of your outer layer. This category of garments is often overlooked when talking about layering systems, but don’t underestimate the difference it can make.
