If you are fairly new to buying mens outdoor clothing, then like all of us you are learning all about the right kit to wear for the walk or hike you are planning. When it’s colder you need items that are warm but are comfortable and allow you to move about freely. At the other end of the scale, you don’t want to be wearing excessive amounts of warm clothes.

Layers are a great way of making sure you keep warm, and with the choice on the website, you will look good too. With layers, you have the ability to adjust to your surroundings as you can simply add or remove a layer so that you stay comfortable to the conditions you face. Although layering can be approached in several ways, using different fabric as and materials, even staying with one brand, here are a couple of pointers for cold weather.

The first thing to consider is your baselayer, which surprisingly enough is what you wear next to the skin. However, it is important to take your time selecting the right type for you and the activity you are planning for, as if you choose the incorrect fabric or type then you are the one who will suffer. Make sure that this layer fits you correctly, and don’t forget to consider that leggings and/or socks should be considered as part of your decision. Think about items that are lightweight, supple and wicks moisture.

Next is the second layer, which should be breathable as this is important for insulation. In addition, a windproofing element should also be incorporated. Weight is still an important consideration, as if an item is too bulky it will restrict your movement. The use of fabrics can make a big difference to this. As ventilation is always important, consider garments that have under arm zips as a feature.

The outer layer covers jackets and trousers. Ensure the jacket is waterproof, breathable and has some degree of windproofing as well. Think of it as a bigger version of your middle layer. Always make sure the trousers are made of a suitable hardwearing material that is also comfortable. Over trousers would make an ideal additional layer to this.

As always this is by no means exhaustive but for mens outdoor clothing it is a start. On the website you will find a range of suitable products from jackets to socks and everything in-between. And as always they are from the best brands and are at the best prices.
