THE USE OF LAYERS
The idea is to put layes on top of each other. This helps to biuld an air layer between the clothes allowing to insulate and to ventilate.
The layers provide considerable flexibility through simple adjustment of clothing according to different conditions and seasons.
1. Base Layer: The idea of a base layer is to take off the moisture from the body to the mid layer.
2. Mid Layer: Windstopper fleece that breathes and transports moisture away. Because of its windstop properties becomes an extra shell.
3. Shell Layer: Jacket in very rip-resistant 3-layer Gore-tex®. Entirely wind and waterproof, with good breathing performance and cut for maximum mobility.
