So what is the right clothing system for me?
Waterproofs
In our opinion there are two simple requirements for waterproof. One is to stop the weather getting in from the outside and the other is to keep you comfortable on the inside. Both of these are simple to achieve in isolation but very difficult to achieve in combination when you are working hard.
Layering Systems
There is some fantastic stuff written about ‘layering systems’ with the virtues of different ‘base layers’ and ‘mid layers’. Writers fill magazine page after magazine page on the benefits ‘hard shell’ and ‘soft shell’.
At the end of the day what you need is a clothing system that works with your body in different weather conditions. Some of us are hot bloodied and some are frozen even on the middle of summer. Advising you on the best combination of garments FOR YOU and your activity is what we do. Modern man made fabrics now compete with natures best (wool and cotton) and all have advantages and disadvantages depending on your needs.
Insulation
You still cannot beat down filled clothing for warmth and weight . If you are thinking of a trip to Kilimanjaro or the challenge of the Inca trail then a warm down jacket will be your best friend. The recent introduction of very light but very warm fibre filled clothing such as “Primaloft” now offer every-day alternatives.
