The purpose of layering your clothes is to create dynamic system, which will promote the diffusion of liquid away from the skin, prevent chilling and maintain comfort. 1.The base layer is worn directly next to the body. It is primarily used to keep the skin dry and at a regular temperature. This is largely achieved through the composition and structure of the fabric selected. However, all of our base layers are also designed to maintain freedom of movement, with the minimum number of seams to reduce discomfort caused by chaffing.2.The mid layer is added to increase insulation and maintain body heat. This must remain dry and therefore Polyester fleece fabrics, which are light weight, resistant to compression and breathable are considered optimum. Our mid layers are designed to be snug fitting but mobile, with cinching cuffs and hem and high necklines for warmth.3.The outer shell is used to protect the underlying layers from environmental moisture and wind. This is principally accomplished with high performance fabrics, which also promote water vapour transfer out of the clothing system. Still, all TOG24 shell jackets have adjustable hoods, hems and cuffs, single or double storm flaps and waterproof pocket designs.In spite of the above, personal management of the clothing system climate by changing layers, or use of ventilation openings will always be necessary and should be encouraged.
