🧥 Winter Layering 101: Stay Warm Without Overheating
As winter tightens its grip, staying warm isn’t about throwing on one giant coat — it’s about smart layering. Whether you’re commuting, working outside, hunting, or bugging out, this system keeps you warm, dry, and adaptable.
🧵 The 3-Layer System
👕 Base Layer (Moisture Control):
Wicks sweat to keep skin dry. Think merino wool or synthetics.
🚫 Avoid cotton — once it’s wet, it steals heat fast.
🧥 Mid Layer (Insulation):
Traps body heat without bulk. Fleece, down, or synthetic insulation work best.
🌧️ Outer Layer (Protection):
Windproof & waterproof shell to block snow, rain, and wind.
🧤 Don’t Forget the Extremities
🧢 Hats, 🧣 neck warmers, 🧤 gloves, 🥾 insulated boots
These prevent heat loss where it escapes fastest.
⚠️ Pro Tip
If you start sweating, slow down or shed a layer. Sweat = cold later.
Cold weather prep isn’t about suffering — it’s about staying functional. Layers > bulk.
