Welcome to our guide to layering! Whether you're a seasoned outdoor enthusiast or just starting to explore the outdoors, an effective layer-on-layer system is key to handling different weather conditions. In this guide, we will give you insight into how you can combine merino wool from Janus for optimal comfort and performance.
Layer 1. Baselayers
Baselayers should be thin and tight-fitting to effectively transport sweat away from the skin. Wool is the optimal choice with its natural moisture-transporting properties and ability to retain warmth even when wet. We recommend sweaters and longs in the Light, Warm and Extra Warm qualities.
Layer 2. Intermediate layer
This layer has a double function: to keep you warm and transport moisture and excess heat away from the body. The intermediate garment should be loose fitting to create an air space between layer 1 and the outer garment. We recommend jackets, hoodies and trousers in the Extra Warm quality.
Layer 3. Shell clothes
Shell clothing forms the outermost layer and protects against wind and rain. Shell clothing is constructed with materials that provide both waterproofness and breathability. These garments are essential for outdoor activities, and they ensure optimal protection against the weather conditions during activities such as skiing and hiking. Choose the right shell clothing to suit your activities to achieve maximum comfort and performance in varied weather conditions.
Accessories
Accessories such as woolen scarves, woolen mittens and woolen socks play a decisive role in the layer-on-layer clothing. Wool material is ideal for these garments due to its natural properties. Fleeces help preserve body heat by preventing heat loss through the head. Wool mittens keep hands warm even in damp conditions, thanks to the wool's ability to retain its insulating properties when wet. Wool socks transport moisture away from the feet and help maintain warmth, while providing comfort and protection. Our woolen products will help to improve your overall experience when you are out in the Norwegian winter weather.
