Your Guide to Layering for Hiking

Layer 1 - The Baselayer : Keep it Snug and Breathable

When choosing your baselayer, the key is to look for a snug fit that wicks sweat and moisture away from your skin. Merino wool is a great option because it is naturally breathable and has moisture regulation and odor management properties. 

Layer 2: The Midlayer: Stay Warm and Cozy

Your midlayer should provide insulation to hold in heat from your baselayer. Fleece jackets or vests are lightweight, warm, and easy to layer. 

Layer 3: The Outerlayer: Face the Elements in Style

The outerlayer is your final piece and acts as a buffer to the elements. Look for lightweight and weather-resistant options like a down or hybrid jacket.

Extra Sparkle: Comfort and Style from the Inside Out

Don't forget to apply the same principles of breathability, lightweight, moisture-wicking, and quick-drying to your bras and underwear. Frøya Sports Bra offers next-to-skin comfort and freedom of movement for active girls.

With the Powerhouse Three and proper underwear, you're ready to enjoy the great outdoors no matter what the weather throws your way. Happy adventuring!
