Hiking Layering System
A hiking layering system combines wicking base, insulation, and shell layers adjusted on the move to manage sweat, wind, and rain without overheating.
A hiking layering system uses a moisture-wicking base, insulating mid-layer, and wind–rain shell you can add or strip without stopping for twenty minutes. Start slightly cool at the trailhead to avoid sweating through cotton.
Hats and gloves live in outer pockets for exposed ridges.
Common questions
-
Is cotton okay for hiking?
Cotton holds sweat and chills you when you stop; synthetic or wool bases dry faster and are safer on variable mountain days.
