How to use
How to Choose Base Layers: Which material is best? Wool: highly moisture-wicking and odor-resistant. Synthetic: durable and less expensive. Silk: soft and lightweight for casual activities. Match the temp to the trek: Lightweight layers: best for moderate to cool temperatures. Midweight layers: best for cold temperatures. Heavyweight layers: best for below-freezing temperatures. Find your fit: Must be close to skin to efficiently wick sweat; should fit comfortably snug. Base layer is for moisture control; your mid layer is for warmth.
