I see 4 layer system 😜

That’s like 4 layers…

Should I buy one size bigger for my shell layer (S to M size) so my synthetic insulator or down layer (S size) fit better together?

How do i change if it's downpouring outside? take shelter under a tree and then remove my mid layer?

good explanation

well made. but why is noone talking about hot or tropical weather. merino? no merino? silk and linen?

If I wear that many things i need to be somwhere where is -30c. Otherwise i will die from heath exhaustion. Tshirt and a jacket on top is the most i can do 😁

I like sloth's.

Can you wear a feather down instead of synthetic mid layer and then put a Shell layer to protect from rain?

Thank you for the details.

Just to confirm - is the outer layer just a waterproof jacket, or is it a hard shell
I am looking to buy a suitable outer layer, and I see on outdoor shopping sites there are hard shell, soft shells, and waterproofs. Which is the most appropriate please?

Wearing a waterproof shell outer layer on a Dry day is just a recipe for sweating harder and having a wetter mid layer as a result. Waterproof shells aren’t so breathable, despite the marketing. Even goretex.

What hardshell model is that. Looks beautiful.

Would have been more understandable if you showed some skin. Thank you :)

Not one word about YOUR HANDS !

Is it best to go with a tight fitting shell over a down jacket or a loose fitting shell?

This Kathmandu weather is nuts. It is almost 20 degrees celsius during the day. If its sunny, it feels even warmer.
But the moment you step indoors, it drops to 12 to 15 degrees Celsius.
Plus, as the day progresses, it stays warm until sunlight, then a sudden drop. Evening to night(10 pm) temperature plummets to around 4-5 degrees celsius with heavy winds.
If you walk during the day, you are hot. If you stop, the wind hits you and you shiver.
It is nuts!

Um thats 4 layers? 🤔🤔🤔

Short video, to the point, insightful and correct. Perfect!

I wish they would dial back on the sleeve length. I get that we need a bit of over hang but like 5-6 inches? Look at those sleeves.... My arctyrx shell was was too long. To the point it got in the way when uncuffed. And when cuffed it would trap water I honestly have never needed more than an inch or two extra.

I assume this isn't for skiing

As a hiking newbie, this has been one of the most informative videos I've come across. Thank you...

Song name????

Why does the outer layer always have to be so damn bulky and enveloping. That poor dude is drowning in that jacket.

So, what about pants?

Well Done! You might want to replace this video every year with updated suggestions for specific professional quality products! No junk!! Thank you :)

Woww

What would you recommend for people who naturally sweat more? I drip in sweat while only shirt as base, fleece sweatshirt and softshell jacket.

Do I need 3 layer on my lower body?

What is the model of that black north face?

easy video as a reminder of what to wear for layers. Living in Wisconsin, we see temp drop quickly and it's nice to be reminded of what works and what does not.

My base layer wicks moisture, gives the needed warmth when active and is windproof, water-resistant and dries quickly. I bring a second layer for extra warmth when I'm not active.

I feel cold only by watching this

Hey what about pants and extremities ?

Should you buy the outer shell a little bit bigger than your normal size?

No one reply me ahah

What's the name model of the north face fleece mid layer? Someone knows please :)

Exactly the video I've been searching for. To the point and easy to follow. Cheers from a Kiwi in Korea🇳🇿🇰🇷

where can i find this red shell layer? looking for a shell on my down jacket 😕

This is just the 'official' trekking/mountainering vision of the system. Personally, I use the 7-layer system for the homeless, which I invented based on the insufficient 3-layer system. Simply use thinner layers to trap more hot air. This way also allows for 'poor' clothing to be incorporated, homeless people after all aren't millionaires, and extensive use destroys all clothing, even expensive gear.

You can use high-quality organic cotton if you don't plan on sweating.

Really thin fleece bodywarmers are great to separate the sleeves of your several clothing items, it gives you a bit more clearence at the shoulders and a bit more wicking at the armpits.

The best video watched so far, thx !

As a person who's new to Canada, this was a very helpful video. Thanks for making this!

If you are reading this, just know that you are special. Lets someone know that you love them. Love yourself, love others, and smile. <3

Would you still recommend a 3 layer system above 20,000ft? Or would you put your parka over the 3 layers?

Good video.
Where can I find that beautiful blue baselayer?!?
