How to layer work clothes in wet and cold weather
Craftspeople who work outdoors during the wet and cold seasons face unique challenges, requiring durable and functional layering solutions to stay warm, dry, and comfortable while maintaining productivity. Here’s a quick guide to combining waterproof work jackets with mid layers and a moisture wicking base layer. Base layer Moisture-Wicking Mid layer Insulation The most important feature for your base layer is to wick moisture away from your body, keeping you dry and comfortable. Things to consider when you choose base layer is your activity level and the temperature your working in. Materials like wool or synthetic fabrics is great for their moisturewicking properties. Avoid cotton as it traps moisture, leaving you cold and damp. The main purpose of mid layers is to insulate and trap heat. We recommend fleece or synthetic jackets, which are lightweight and retain their thermal properties even when wet. Choose the thickness of your mid layer according to the temperature and your level of activity. The midlayer is the key to good layering, as it can act as an outer layer if you get too warm in dry conditions, or be removed in wet conditions.
