Layering is an important part of anyone’s winter gear kit. But Layering is about more than just putting on more clothes to stay warm. It’s about managing moisture during high activity winter pursuits. Not only do you need to have the right gear, but understand how it works to keep you dry and warm.

basically, this video should be categorised as advertising.
Don't pay out for an outershell.
Ive spent over £100 for outershells, only for them to be outmatched and outlasted by cheap £2500 packaway jackets.
It's why i have 10+ Qikpaks from trespass, they are so cheap you can just store a spare in frequently visited places or in every bag you own.
You don't need to worry if they start to lose waterproof, just buy another, waterproofing products aren't all that cheap, or effective.
Death Rag is what we call cotton.Once it's wet you are DONE.Wool can be rung out and put back on.Cotton Bad.Wool Good.
What i do is just acclimate to the cold i dont wear ever a hoodie unless its bellow -10c
I actually didn’t understand do you wear fleece over goretex rain jacket! My man you talk to much, make a structure of your videos.
Great tips! i would love to hear your thoughts about Decathlon clothing
Gotta say wool is the one for me, if its good enough for the military then its good enoigh for me
The one item nobody ever mentions to manage body heat is a neck cooler………this has helped me so much over the years to manage sweat and body heat while hiking. The army have used these for years. A scarf that’s full of water absorbing gel crystals. You soak it in water before you use it. It’s an absolute essential item.
Not having a beard?
If you made a video for low cost layers, I’d love to see it.
Just wear shorts to ventilate your legs when active.
Both are noobs because they arent camouflaged from enemies.
links dont work
Dislike for no mention of Merino wool. What is this even. Too busy talking about the sponsor i guess.
Very nice and realistic advices came from a wealth of experience…
This is what we learn very early on/for even young children ,in my country.
Im from Norway.
Cotton is a no no.
But why isnt wool mentioned? Its the better layer then ANY 😢 fleece or techncal…
Fleece doesnt breath good at all ! No wonder ,it IS actually plastic. And bad for nature.
I would never use fleece instead of wool ,absolutely not.
I see it like a dry wall in an house, you transition the layers from inside to outside the slower and lower the temperature differential per layer the better you breathe and regulate your temperature, i prefer to use 3 layers in most places 4 in really cold places. I also like to pack a waterproof poncho for emergences.
Fwiw, I use a lightweight, padded gilet for as long as possible (over a long-sleeved base).
me wishing I could make myself colder while watching this on a 33°C summer day
Haha I hate starting cold, so I always just commit to that early stop and changing layers. I know from the get go that I’ll move for like 5 mins and then make the stop
It's true. I used to work 3 miles from my house and would bike that distance every other day. Even on the coldest day, I was better off in a pair of waterproof trackpants with a sweatpant base layer, not my snow pants. Honestly, any activity with a bag or chest layer is going to generate more heat than wearing a few jackets.
I had to carry an additional shirt with me because I'd soak my tank top on the ride over, but would dry much faster than anything else I'd wear.

$220 is my groceries for the month. Layers for rich people
Skin accualy does all of this.
Exactly!
A coat and waders is all I need for snow
Went to the trek in minus temperature, it was really hard to manage sweat and to add to the misery it was raining to, i was feeling cold from inside more than outside, after two treks later my knowledge to manage it all is still at zero.
What about bamboo? I love my moisture wicking shirts from TASC but I've never tried them in a multi-layer cold situation.
You sweat, you die.
This is getting way to complicated lol. Dress in three layers, take off , add on as needed. It's not hard
The answer and the cheapest is wool nothing better and I mean nothing
🤣🤣🤣🤣
When I was in ROTC we did a winter FX (weekend training) taught by Special Forces reservists. The key acronym them drilled into our head was COLD:
C: Clean. Clean clothes keep you warmer than dirty ones>
O: Ovoid overheating. Don't try to stay warm, be just a little cool. You hit this really well.
L: Layering. You also hit this spot on.
D: Dry. Dry clothes keep you warmer than wet.
As others have mentioned, "cotton is rotton" and we were issued wool clothing for the winter mission. I heard this so many times, but it was on a whitewater rafting trip on a cool day with cold water that I experienced just how true it is that wool can keep you warm even if wet.
As always – your videos are simply amazing. Anyone who goes outside should watch your videos!
i only have one baselayer. if its putting me down. all i have is jesus.
This is such a ‘guy’ video. Great advice and information for GUYS!
GOD used His sense of humour when He created women. We are blessed with rampaging hormones for most of our lives, and because of that we ‘sweat’ decidedly differently, as in forty different phases throughout every given day. Show me a fiber that can adapt to that and I’ll be officially impressed!
Love and All Good Things,
Jesse.🌹
Wool better than goretex
The best advice I've been given is to wear a 100% Merino Wool base layer when hiking.
It'll dry out itself and will still keep you warm even when it's a bit it wet.
As a former resident of the far north my preferred outdoor temperature to work and for extended periods of outdoor activity was -20 C. At -20 it isn’t cold enough to hinder movement or be to dangerous if you’re prepared for it and yet it is cold enough to keep you from working up a sweat in most situations or having snow melt and freeze on your garments in repeated cycles throughout your day. Much warmer than -20 you’ll usually eventually get soaking wet one way or the other if you’re exerting yourself or working in snow for hours on end and then you are in trouble unless you have shelter nearby.
I live in South Louisiana. Iv'e only seen snow once. I do not plan on going to a place with snow soon. Yes i watched this whole video.
Should be said:
People like us love the outdoors and want to keep it as is, if possible. But gore-tex clothing and production of this is some of the most damaging production within the textile industry. Furthermore, the recyclability of these garments is often near zero. Please keep this in mind when shopping for these products and focus on brands that create there own (PFC-free) membranes (i.e Fjallravan, klattermusen etc.)
Found your chanel yesterday. Very good and informative 😊
I bought the wrong combination last year because i didnt know what i was doing and I ended up not being able to walk or even stand for 10 minutes in the cold without drenching my base layer in sweat and then freezing my $&@ off as a pedestrian waiting on the midnight rails.
