Schneebored 0 Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Interested how people layer up when they are on the mountain, obviously this is weather dependent, so lets say for colder than average mid-season day. I would opt for: -Merino base -Merino Fleece -softshell gilet -Jacket Link to post Share on other sites

mitchpee 10 Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 I have 2 or 3 layering situations. Regular mid winter I go: merino base long sleeve t shirt fleece shell Really cold days: merino base long sleeve t shirt down shell warm days: merino t shirt softshell Link to post Share on other sites
Go Native 70 Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Me just a thermal layer (2 on cold days), soft shell and Jacket. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 thermal long sleeve t-shirt Jacket If its cold I'll throw a fleece over my t-shirt Link to post Share on other sites
Go Native 70 Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 I try and stay away from t-shirts if they are cotton. If cotton gets wet it stays wet and doesn't insulate you well at all when it is wet. Synthetic thermals or merino on the other hand will still insulate you pretty well even if wet.

CRAZY! Some people seem to have thicker skin. A friend wears just an old rugby shirt under his jacket, whatever the weather....loooney. I am worried that the Australian warmth has made me soft and I will need more layers than when I lived in Europe. Link to post Share on other sites
yamabushi 3 Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Uniqlo has some soft wool turtle neck shirts that work amazingly well as a mid layer. Their termal undies are an outstanding value. Link to post Share on other sites

The jackets and coats that I wear in winter back home suffice for pub walking Link to post Share on other sites

RobBright 35 Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 See me? I am hardcore - t-shirt and shorts. Then snowboard trousers and jacket. Link to post Share on other sites
Slippery Jim 65 Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Uniqlo heattech tee or long sleeve, depending on temps; polypro long-sleeves, some turtle necks, some not; lightweight fleece mont-bell zip up & phenix shell. Have loads of other stuff, but this covers 90% of the conditions. fleece neckwarmer in pocket, silk undergloves for really cold days, and my shell came with a poly balaclava that's actually been used a couple of times in the past eight years.

Mick Rich 78 Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Originally Posted By: muikabochi I hate being cold. Yeah, me too! I therefore wear a base layer (I love my long-sleeved Helly Hansen); North Face fleece and jacket (with another base layer on those extra cold Hokkaido days) plus a pair of Ronhill Tracksters under my snowboard pants!
