Answer:

It may be tempting to put on that big bulky jacket for your winter walk to protect you from the elements and keep you warm. In actual fact the most effective way to protect yourself from the cold is to wear multiple layers which can be added or removed depending on the conditions.

The “layering system” is essentially a way of layering clothes together to ensure you are comfortable during outdoor pursuits. This could be to keep you warm or to cool you down. Layering often only refers to tops and jackets but you can layer leggings and trousers in the same way. You will find most hikers, climbers, snow sport lovers and many other outdoor enthusiasts will use an effective layering system.

How does it work?

The reason wearing multiple thin layers will keep you warmer than a single thicker layer is because warm air is trapped between the layers acting as an insulator. If you were then to remove a layer you would reduce the amount of heat trapped which would cool you down.

The benefit of using a layering system is that you can prepare for many eventualities that may arise. If the weather is nice before you set out then you can pack you bag with clothing that can keep you warm and dry whilst wearing a base layer. You won’t overheat and if the temperature was to drop, or it started raining, you have what you need.
