Fabric choices for Base Layer:

As this layer comes in direct contact with your body, it is best to use lightweight, breathable, and comfortable material. This includes a wide range of fabric options such as polyester and nylon.

Base Layer

Fabric Weight for Base Layer:

You can choose lightweight, midweight, or heavyweight shirts as the base layer depending on the weather conditions and the type of activity you want to engage in. In cooler conditions, a midweight base layer can be worn as a second layer, over another base layer, or on its own.

Heavyweight base layers are a must-have for extremely cold conditions. These are typically worn over other base layers to add warmth.

Mid Layer

Best Materials for Mid Layer

Polyester Fleece: Unlike cotton, fleece can keep you warm even if it is damp. Besides, it is fast drying and breathable. Fleece offers exceptional air flow and moisture management. The texture of the fabric is soft, which makes it very comfortable against the skin. A fleece works best when worn under a protective shell and offers the least stand-alone weather protection of all the options.

Blank Jackets with down or synthetic insulation are also effective as the mid-layer. Down has the highest warmth-toweight ratio and compresses easily into a very small volume for highly efficient packing. The downside is that it dries slowly and is cold when wet.

Synthetic fill is durable, lightweight, dries quickly, retains heat when wet, and is easy to care for. The downside is it is less breathable and doesn’t pack as small as down.

Outer Layer

Waterproof Breathable Shells (Hard Shell):

These types of jackets are made with waterproof and somewhat breathable materials. Their fundamental component is a light, permeable layer that blocks water, but allows sweat to pass through.

Water-resistant Shells (Soft Shell):

The outer fabric of softshell jackets is also treated with a waterrepellent coating. Although they do not offer complete waterproofing they can protect you from light rain and snow. However, they are generally more breathable and comfortable, lighter, and cheaper than completely waterproof outerwear.

Wind Jackets:

This outerwear style focuses on breathability. Most of them offer stretchable fabric for extra convenience during athletic activities. You can also find wind jackets that integrate light rain and wind protection along with a low level of insulation. In short, they fuse two layers into a single product.
