How should you layer outdoor clothing in the mountains?

Wear a sweat-wicking base layer next to your skin, such as the WOOL TOP 200 H merino top. Add a fleece when active in the cold, then a waterproof Ultrashell® jacket or a CIMASHELL softshell to protect against rain and wind. When you stop, put on a CIMALOFT® insulated jacket, under your outer jacket if it's raining.

Fleece or insulated jacket: which should you take?

Both, if your outing alternates between exertion and breaks in the cold. Wear a fleece, such as the JORASSE 3 H, while walking. An insulated jacket, such as the CIMALOFT® MEIJE H, keeps you warm when you stop and packs into its compression sack. For a short outing in mild weather, a fleece alone is enough.
