EDZ Quick Guide To Layering Up In Cold Windy Conditions

Layer up with efficient layers, if it is windy cut out windchill with a windproof outer layer. Avoid baggy clothing and loose fitting jumpers.

First layer

A  thermal base layer next to the skin, wool is the best, avoid cotton and compression wear, fit should not be tight.

Second layer

A close fitting mid-layer fleece and a base layer is an efficient combination and thin enough to wear under a jacket.

Extra layer

And if it is really chilly wear a fleece jacket such as our EDZ Yeti over the the top.

Extremities

As we loose a lot of heat through our heads, hands and feet,  socks, gloves and headwear are essential items of kit and as with the base layers wool is the best for warmth.
