What is technical clothing?

Technical clothing is designed to perform a measurable function in the mountains: wick away sweat, retain warmth or block rain and wind. Its performance figures appear on the product page: Schmerber for waterproofing, g/m²/24 h for breathability and km/h for wind resistance. The COSMIQUES 2 F jacket, for example, has a waterproof rating of 20,000 Schmerber and a breathability rating of 80,000 g/m²/24 h.

What base layer should you wear under a fleece?

A merino wool top wicks away sweat and keeps you warm when you stop. The CimaWool® WOOL TOP 200 F weighs 205 g in size S; pair it with the WOOL PANT 200 F leggings in cold weather. In milder conditions, a merino t-shirt such as the 90 g AIGLIERE 4 F is enough under a lightweight fleece.
