Mid layer, or as it's sometimes called, insulation layer or thermal layer, is the part of cold weather layering system that is designed to keep you warm. Mid layers come in many thicknesses and materials, and they should be combined as needed depending on the winter conditions and your activity levels. Let's look at what kind of mid layers I use and why.

Taival Outdoors is a channel about the great outdoors, spending time in nature doing everything from day hikes and overnight adventures to bikepacking and multi-day wilderness backpacking. Trekking is close to my heart, but I’m not tied to any particular "genre" like ultralight or bushcraft - instead I do what I've found through my experience in the wild to work the best for me. I'm also making gear reviews and skill videos based on what I actually use and how I operate in nature. Thanks for watching!

If a piece of clothing or gear has been popular for centuries, it shouldn't be dismissed just because more advanced alternatives are available. This is often, but not always true. Can't see swapping out a proper wool sweater from my arsenal any time soon.

The Woolpower 400 vest is an excellent midlayer. I like to combine it with a lightweight alpaca hoodie to increase core warmth while maintaining arm flexibility.

This is super nice content! Varusteleka's Särmä TST Clothing System info they have put and all the layering info is nice, but from actually seeing the clothing on someone makes it much easier to understand for me attleast. Lately been starting to care more about my clothing habits, this series will definitely help with that!

Thanks! I think Varusteleka did a great job creating their layering system and it seems they put some real thought behind it. Other manufacturers should take notice.

Thanks. Layering is a useful skill for sure.

judging by some of the things you do, you're pretty active. If you're just going to the shops to get groceries, or walking around casually, do you still layer up? Or just bring 1 really thick jacket? My concern is the very warm indoor temperature vs the freezing cold outside.

You can always take off layers, but if you don't have them with you in the first place, it's impossible to add any in case you need them.

Great video thanks. Your gear is mostly merino or merino blend. I was never a fan of merino. What are your thoughts? I can usually get a away wearing level 1 and level 2 + outer shell if I’m moving.

Check out the previous video in this series where I discuss merino vs synthetic. I do have a lot of synthetics as well, especially towards the outer layers. Definitely when moving it needs to get really cold before needing more layers than that.

00:05 Mid layer, also known as insulation layer, is important for cold weather clothing. 02:00 The mid layer serves as a versatile and lightweight clothing option for varying weather conditions. 03:56 Varusteleka's Särmä TST Level 2 clothing is made of 80% merino wool and 20% polyamide. 06:00 Thick mid layers provide insulation and should be used when needed. 07:47 Vests are a popular clothing choice for layering in cold weather. 09:38 Using a mid layer is essential for keeping your hands warm in cold weather. 11:32 Wool shirts are a great option for a mid layer in cold weather clothing. 13:28 Combining a high collar layer with a neck cover provides warmth in cold weather Crafted.

Hey! Hello, I noticed in one of your videos you mention being from Finland. I would like to ask you a question relating to outter shell for winter (in -8C°). I bought a second hand 80's "Nahka-aitta" jacket, it seems a little light, but other than that, looks in great condition, do you think it could help as an outter shell for windy conditions? Oh and it also has a tag that says "Porelle, waterproof & breathable", I ask all of this because I could not find any information online hahaha thanks so much, great content!

@TaivalOutdoors 5 ай бұрын

Hi, no problem. Nahka-aitta is indeed still in business, and I believe their quality is considered generally to be good. Porelle membranes are still manufactured as well, but of course as the garment is so old, the waterproofness/breathability of the membrane is likely deteriorated. Generally speaking clothing with any such membranes will make them windproof, so I'd imagine it does work as an outer shell during winter, especially in dry conditions.👍
