Upper Body
Keeping your upper body warm is easier than you think. You need 4 primary pieces.
- Wicking Base Layer: The layer closest to your body should be made from an appropriate wicking material, such as Thermion, Thinsulate, Thermax, Coolmax, polypropolene, and silk. This will keep your sweat off your body. Compare prices.
- Insulating Layer: Your middle layer, which is needed for very cold weather, should be an insulating material, such as fleece, wool, or down. This layer creates a bubble of warm air around us. Compare prices.
- Wind - & Water-proof Outer Layer: This layer is important, especially in snow, rain, or windy weather, which many of us fight during the winter. Compare prices.
- Gloves/Mittens: Gloves are great for most weather, but in the coldest weather, mittens are best. Compare prices.
