The Art of Layering
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.
