Really clear and detail...Thank you so much.

Going abroad next month and your tips will help me to face the winter for the 1st time. Thank you mate.

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.

Well explained, great video!

Amazing advice, thank you :D

finally I uderstood. Very useful tips in a simple way. thanks

Fantastic Winter Layering Guide

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.

Amazing video! Really saved my biscuits! 🥶🥶

thanks for this video!

Excellent

GREAT! thanks a lot! super useful video :)

Ohh, thanks!! I was looking this info for years!! jajaja. Nice video :P

this was really good, thanks

thank you!

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.

Thank you very for your tips!

Great video bro helped alot

thank you

Very nicely explained .grt sir

Super helpful video

Informative

Are you being sponsored by Arc'teryx, you got over 1000.00 worth of vest, baselayer, midlayer, and down jacket!

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

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.

Excellent video man thank you

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.

Pure wool should be applied directly to the skin because of its properties after moisturising with ingrams canphor cream because camphor has warming properties.

Icebreaker is a good brand for a base layer

I’ve been skiing for years in a long sleeve cotton tshirt, a sweatshirt….and a $60 ski coat.

😀💪💪✝️

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

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

Hi how tight should your base layer be? Snug or loose? Thanks for the video information

Textbook........ Great information, if you don't know pay attention.

Start with lighter layers. this is good advice. vest on the outside just looks silly,

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

Would a neckerchief work as a scarf?

where you got that fleece in the beginning? is it vintage?

please mention layers for office dress

If we were that much glove in hand then how to operate miking/booming also ?

What about the head??

is this enough for colder weather like -30 Celsius?

Too many layers. What temperature would you wear them in? One heavyweight down parka is enough for me in single digit temperatures.

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.

Links would be nice. Thank you.

So the big puffy jackets aren't actually good winter jackets?

layering sweet spot is 3 the more is uncomfortable

I did this but it doesn’t work, still cold! Also the legs are extra cold. I don’t have wool.

What about tank top

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.

Why no cotton?

Question: if I use a simple base layer size “L”, Also use a fleece size “L”, the coat can be”L” ? Or better “XL”?

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? 😅

My only problem is my head Nothing helps keep it warm

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.

2 mid weight jackets? Seems like overkill

Did you forget the head covering?

How do you pee ?

Why not cotton???

Hi What shell jacket are you wearing?

How many of these videos do I have to watch to be considered an expert?

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.

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?

don't too fast.

You don't sound British, haha

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🤪🤪🤪
