A Guide to Winter Layering

As Winter sets in for another year, it's worth remembering the basics of layering. We layer up thin layers of clothing to trap air warmed by the body between each garment. Some fabrics are better than others. A good layering system will take advantage of fabrics which promote the movement of moisture away from the skin and out through the layers, whilst trapping warm air.

The EDZ Performance Layering system is designed to be flexible. Add a layer for extra warmth remove a layer to cool down. Here's 4 layers to keep you warm this winter:

200gsm Merino Baselayer - wear it next to the skin, it's your first and best line of defense against the cold, with anti-odor and moisture management properties.
Men | Ladies

200gsm Merino Wool Zip neck top - Either worn as a baselayer or second layer, the Merino Zip neck is the ultimate in climate control with a front zip for venting when things hot-up and high collar for extra protection around the neck.
Men | Ladies

Midlayer Microfleece - Our soft to touch, lightweight fleece fabric contours the body with a precise fit. Amazingly low bulk for freedom of movement, yet super insulating.
Men | Ladies

Yeti Jacket - Have you ever heard a yeti complain about the cold? The Yeti is our no messing insulation piece, made from double sided high-loft fleece. Lighter and smaller packing than a conventional fleece yet warmer.
Men | Ladies

Finally, depending on your activity you might want to finish your layering system off with a windproof layer to stop the exchange of warm air for cool and prevent wind chill. Our Windshells can be worn over any combination of layers. Check out our windproof layers.
