Frank DeJulius, Owner of Fleet Feet, provided the following information about proper layering when exercising outside in the cold weather.
At Fleet Feet Sports we believe in being active all 12 months of the year. And sometimes this means paying close attention to the weather outside and layering correctly. One of the biggest mistakes some people make during the cold months is overdressing. No matter how cold it is outside 3 proper layers is all you need.
First, start with a non-cotton base layer that fits tight to the body like a second skin. This will help pull sweat moisture away from the body to keep you dry. The next layer is also made of technical fabric and is called a warmth layer. This layer is the most versatile of the 3 and will help keep body heat in, but also breath to let moisture and excess heat out. Micro-fleece and soft merino wool are two of our favorite warmth layer materials. On the coldest, wettest, windiest days you will want to wear an outer layer. This layer is furthest from the skin and is designed to protect you from the elements, like wind, rain and snow. This layer is usually made of a synthetic soft-shell material or nylon and even though they are wind and water proof they are breathable by the way of construction.
We spend much of our time educating our customers on proper layering during the winter months. In fact, proper laying can even help you stay cool in the summer! For more information or questions on how to layer your clothing, please feel free to contact us.
