Layering for mountain conditions

• Base layer: Close-fitting functional underwear helps move sweat away from the skin. Quick-drying synthetic fibres such as polyester or polyamide, or moisture-absorbing, odour-neutralising merino wool, are suggested.
• Midlayer: Helps retain body heat. Fleece or softshell can be used depending on the weather; down or synthetic alternatives such as Primaloft are also suggested in low temperatures.
• Outer layer: A membrane hardshell or ski jacket protects against wind, snow and moisture while remaining breathable. Softshell may be suitable in milder conditions.

The water column rating indicates how much water pressure a material can withstand without perceptible moisture penetration. Clothing is considered waterproof from 1,300 mm.
