Great job. Thank you
Fantastic Winter Layering Guide
So well taught.😊
Well explained, great video!
this is excellent advice, the same ive learned over the last year or two. layer and stacking is the key. the one thing i still struggle with, is keeping my face warm and not fogging up my glasses at the same time.
Very clear. Thanks.
Really clear and detail...Thank you so much.
Amazing advice, thank you :D

Very nicely explained .grt sir
thank you!
Brilliant video, been doing winter backpacking and things since I was a child in the 80s, and most of the videos on layering vastly overcomplicate it likely for the sake of selling hot new items. I've been doing what you suggest since then for the most part. I have never done the wool ankle sock under a SmartWool winter sock that's a brilliant idea and I'll implement that for sure, I've always done thin silk or similar and SmartWool. One good point with feet is that being too tight in a boot or having sweaty feet is as big a problem as not having enough insulation. Feet are already an extreme extremity so any reduction in blood flow is a huge problem. Good common sense layering can take you into some really nasty stuff without being restricted in movement or looking like a Goodyear tire guy.
Great video bro helped alot
thank you
Informative
Thank you very for your tips!
I usually go with wind suits and a base layer and mid layer. My base layer is usually a thermal shirt with buttons on the collar and my mid layer is a full zip jacket and the rain jacket is full zip also. I like to be able to unzip to let heat escape my torso without having to take anything off and thermal bottoms and wool socks on top of that I usually go with a neoprene track suit or an insulated full zip hoodie and sweatpants rain pants and rain jacket and a fleece balaclava and stocking cap. This is usually all that I need where I live. It is warm but still lightweight. I can still feel the cold but it is tolerable enough that I can stay outside for a long time. I usually choose black clothing for my base and mid layers also because black retains heat.
Took notes for myself. Moving to Saskachewan early next year. This helped me a lot to prepare. Thanks Richard.
Layering allows you to undress and redress as needed. Work from your lightest layer to your heaviest. Sequence is mentioned below:
1. Base layer - Icebreaker 175 everyday crew - merino wool / synthetic blend - stay away from cotton.
2. Midweight sweater / fleece - Arcteryx Delta LT Hoody
3. Lightweight synthetic jacket - Arcteryx Atom Sl Hoody OR maybe a vest - L.L Bean Microfleece Vest.
4. Heaviest Insulated layer (Winter Coat / Puffy Jacket / Parka/ski jacket) - Arcteryx Cerium LT Hoody.
5. Always end with a Shell Jacket - This could be a soft shell, a windbreaker or a rain coat. It should be wind & water proof. It also retains heat - Arcteryx Beta AR.
6. If your Insulated layer (winter jacket/parka/ski jackets) already has a shell jacket then you don't need to add a separate shell on top of it, but if it doesn't then you need it.
Don't forget your extremities (legs, feet, hands, head, neck)
1. Legs Base Layer - Icebreaker 200 Oasis Legging (merino wool).
2. Athletic Pants or Hiking Pants - Mountain Hardware Chockstone Pant.
3. Waterproof Pants or Snow Pants or Ski Pants - Marmot PreCip Pants.
4. If you're wearing a snow pant then you'd be fine with just a base layer. Goal is to keep you warm but not impede your mobility.
5. For feet start with a thin ankle sock or no show sock - Smartwool Microlight Socks.
6. Heavyweight Merino Hiking Socks - Smartwool Medium weight Hike Socks.
7. Insulated Snow Shoes if it's super cold and snow outside (Merrell Thermo Chill WP Boots) if it's not then waterproof hiking boots (Danner Mountain 600).
8. For Hands a Thin Merino Wool Glove (Smartwool Liner Glove).
9. Heavy Ski Gloves - Outdoor Research Adrenaline Glove.
Stack and Overlap Items e.g. Tuck your upper base layer into your lower base layer, tuck your leggings into your socks and pull your sleeves over the cuff of your gloves. The idea is that no cold air should come in.
Cover your neck
1. Buff / Neck Gator / Scarf
If i follow up your list i”m a couple of thousand dollar poorer.
The main goal in the winter is not to overheat and prevent sweating. It all depends on the level of effort and your heating issues. Also, the extremeties should never be strangulated, to allow blood circulation and heat control.
Do you have any recommendations for preventing sweating in the winter?
Don't overdress at the beginning of the hike. Give yourself time to heat yourself. Although the natural tendency is to be comfortable if it is cold, you should overcome it. Wear several layers, so you can adjust the level of insulation according to the level of effort and temperature.
I usually climb in t-shirt in the winter with the backpack far from my back (I tighten the waist strap)
Excellent video man thank you
❤
I’ve been skiing for years in a long sleeve cotton tshirt, a sweatshirt….and a $60 ski coat.
Are you being sponsored by Arc'teryx, you got over 1000.00 worth of vest, baselayer, midlayer, and down jacket!
I just work in the outdoor industry and have good access to the brand, and consequently own a lot of it.
This is identical to somebody saying "are you a first-time car buyer? You should try the lamborghini, or the ferrari"
It’s a video about layering. You can layer with brands that don’t cost an arm and a leg but still work the same.
Use Eddie Bauer, Columbia for vest and jacket and MeriWool for Baselayer great budget options
I’m at about 200 for these
COLUMBIA outer
EB Shell and Vest
MeriWool base layer
Just because this dude has drip
Doesn’t mean that yall need to start pocket watching him…I’m a dirtbag climber and I would kill for some arcteryx
Nice. But there are no comments about the hats or the head! Lol- - Maybe you can make an addendum. Is synthetic hat material just as good as wool
🕵🏻♂️ THANK YOU IM GLAD YOU NOTICED HIS STUPID OVERSIGHT OF THE HEAD
What I find is that I don't need all the layers on my arms. Firstly they don't go cold like my torso and secondly I find it nearly impossible to move my arms. So I'd be looking at 2nd layers or fleeces without sleeves.
I follow British mountaineer Andy Kirkpatrick.
Icebreaker is a good brand for a base layer
Excellent. What about a presentation related with the temperature.example: for 0 to 10 degrees this clothes ,then for 10 to 20 that's one's etc. I will appreciate that information
I could, but the difficult thing is we all experience cold differently. What may be warm enough for me might not be warm enough for you. I’m from the Midwest and live in Chicago so I have a lot of experience with cold, compared to someone from Southern California or Texas
@@richardeisloeffel4699 thanks Sir
I think that perhaps escalate as is going colder from the first layer is a solution. What about that. THANKS 👍.
@@germansestopal6167 that is already how it works. the colder it is the more layers you add
Would a neckerchief work as a scarf?
where you got that fleece in the beginning? is it vintage?
Hi how tight should your base layer be? Snug or loose? Thanks for the video information
I know this is a bit late, but if anyone else has this question - you want your baselayer to be snug but not overly tight, just enough so that your base layer fits nicely over your body without making you feel sick with how tight it is.
Textbook........ Great information, if you don't know pay attention.
Okay what's the best way to prevent sweating?
Because this is part of why i have always kind of hatred layering in the past is I sweat and then stay cold.
is this enough for colder weather like -30 Celsius?
😀💪💪✝️
I am in tokyo in march and i cant handle the cold, my city is just as cold but you dont usually walk around, i always hated using a lot of clothes but seems i will have get used to it
If we were that much glove in hand then how to operate miking/booming also ?
Start with lighter layers. this is good advice. vest on the outside just looks silly,
please mention layers for office dress
So the big puffy jackets aren't actually good winter jackets?
Too many layers. What temperature would you wear them in? One heavyweight down parka is enough for me in single digit temperatures.
What about the head??
Links would be nice. Thank you.
What about tank top
I did this but it doesn’t work, still cold! Also the legs are extra cold. I don’t have wool.
layering sweet spot is 3 the more is uncomfortable
You definitely don’t always have to have a shell. If you were going to wear a waterproof/windproof layer. You would wear it on the very outside but you don’t always have to wear one.
This might keep you warm till -10°c but not beyond. This is enough for your 3 -5 hour winter hike.
Don't double up on socks. You might get blisters and restrict blood flow. A Sheepsole is a better choice.
Choose good MerinoWool socks.
What would you change for lower than -10°C? I’ve been out in colder temperatures with less.
Doubling your socks is literally one of the main recommendations to help prevent blisters. There is even a sock company that sells double layer socks specifically for the purpose of preventing blisters.
Because you end up with fabric rubbing against fabric instead of it rubbing against your skin.
Why no cotton?
I’m from Colombia and I’ve never had to use more than 2 layers of clothing, and to be honest I’ve never seen a snow jacket in my life. Now that I’m planning to study abroad this seems so confusing and scary, like what would I use to go to classes? 😅
Lol! I just watch these videos out of curiosity and for someone who has never seen snow their whole life n basically also uses only two layers of clothing during cold weather. Wearing upto 5 layers of clothing just seems unbelievable but knowing there are extremeties out there am not surprised.
Question: if I use a simple base layer size “L”, Also use a fleece size “L”, the coat can be”L” ? Or better “XL”?
Coats and jackets are usually sized to go over your other layers, as the outdoor industry general subscribes to / promotes the layering system. So usually you should go for your regular size unless you're using an item in an unusual way, such as having a synthetic puffy jacket as a coverall layer, the belay jacket idea - as in a jacket to go over all your other normal layers.
How do you pee ?
Did you forget the head covering?
My only problem is my head Nothing helps keep it warm
👩🏻🎨THANK YOU THE HEAD NEED A HAT IN WINTER
@@paulyricca3881 that is the issue I do use beanies but not enough ended up having a fur hat😢
Hi
What shell jacket are you wearing?
It said beta ar in the video
Right!!😂
2 mid weight jackets? Seems like overkill
Guy is gearing for winter in the North Pole.
👴🏻🥃 YEP
Why not cotton???
It's colder when it's damp or wet, takes ages to dry compared with nylons or down ........
How many of these videos do I have to watch to be considered an expert?
Lol You're almost there! All you need is spending a winter in the middle of Canada.
👴🏻 YEAH
5 layers bro? really? I don't do mountaineering or overnight expeditions or anything that hardcore but I do do a lot of snowshoeing in New England where we have very cold and snowy winters and I never use five layers. I pretty much always do three. A medium weight poly/wool blend skin tight base layer for moisture wicking, a heavy fleece jacket or pullover for insulation and then a hardshell for wind/snow protection. If it's not snowing or very windy I don't use the shell. On my lower body I use a skin tight wool/poly blend base layer and a pair of snow/ski pants that combine insulation and weather protection. it seems like all the layers you wear would inhibit mobility. One thing you didn't mention that I am a big fan of is hand/foot warmers. I love them.
Also Patagonia, Arcteryx and Mountain Hardwear make some great gear but in my opinion the best value in quality outdoor clothing gear is Outdoor Research. They are my go to company.
Well, as another channel's video on this topic states about the layering system they go over... "This is only a baseline. Everyone's body functions differently and you have to experiment from here to find out what works for you".
You must not be from the Pacific Northwest
Hi, May I share the most important news you will ever hear? God the Father sent His holy Son Jesus Christ(Y'shua Ha' Mashiach) from heaven to earth, to be born of a virgin. He grew up and died on the cross for our sins. He was put into a tomb for 3 days, and then Abba Father raised Jesus to life and He appeared to people and went back to Heaven. We must all sincerely receive Jesus to be a true child of God. It says in John 1:12 "But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name." Will you genuinely believe on Christ Jesus and truly receive Him today, before it is too late?
You don't sound British, haha
don't too fast.
Overkill... i should say.
I am sooo sick of the .. let me tell you about , what I'm gonna talk about". This is standard public speaking it freakin ANNOYING"
Oh look, another Patagonia hero, surrounded with SWEATSHOP produced tech. So confused?!?!
You, not me obvs🤪🤪🤪
