Do's and Don’ts of Layering
- Do: Layer an outer-layer fitted item over mid-layer fit item.
- Do: Upsize your soft-shell jackets if you plan to add multiple mid layers underneath.
- Don't: Try to wear two outer-layer fit jackets in the same size together.
- Don't: Try to wear a mid-layer fit insulated jacket over an outer-layer fit soft shell jacket.
A base layer, mid-layer fleece, mid-layer insulated jacket, and an outer-layer fit rain jacket, all in the same size, will comfortably layer together.
An outer layer rain jacket will compress the insulation of an outer-layer fit insulated jacket, reducing its ability to keep you warm.
The overall fit on an insulated mid-layer jacket is designed to layer under a waterproof rain jacket or an insulated outer layer.
