The key to staying warm
Why layer up?
Layering is an effective way to regulate body temperature and keep comfortable in changing weather conditions. Layering allows you to easily adjust your temperature by adding or subtracting layers of clothing as needed.
The principles of layering:
The cornerstone of layering is the three basic layers: base layer, mid layer and shell layer. In severe frosts, a fourth insulating layer is often needed, which is added to the top layer. mid layer and the shell layer.
The key to layering is to choose the clothing that suits you best, combining them to create many different options for changing weather conditions. By layering your clothing, you can easily adjust your outfit to suit the day, the outing and the weather. In the North Outdoor range, you'll find merino wool underwear and mid layer clothing, additional insulating insulation, socks for layering and accessories to maximise warmth in the cold season.
Thermal insulation and moisture transfer
Choose a thermal insulating and moisture-wicking underlayment as the first layer. Merino wool is a great choice for this purpose, as it keeps heat close to the skin and wicks moisture away from the skin, keeping you dry and warm.
For the best benefit, wear base layer moisture-wicking merino wool underwear. Keeping the under layer dry means you'll stay warm too. When choosing your underwear and underlayer, it's worth investing in good quality merino wool-quality underwear.
Avoid cotton!
Try to avoid cotton clothes and socks, as cotton absorbs moisture and does not transfer it to the outer layers. Cotton feels comfortable on the skin at first, but cotton material wets quickly and does not dry easily, quickly causing a cold feeling in the body.
