“The layering system has proved to be<br />
very effective. However, it is crucial that<br />
the individual layers are mutually compatible<br />
so they function well together.”<br />
Daniele Grasso, Senior Product Manager Apparel<br />
Weather protection: If you’re expecting<br />
the weather to be mainly dry a softshell is<br />
generally the best choice. Softshells are wind<br />
and water resistant and offer great climate<br />
comfort and mobility. In heavy rain you really<br />
need a weatherproof “hardshell” jacket. These<br />
jackets are totally waterproof, windproof and<br />
breathable.<br />
With the development of TEXAPORE SOFT-<br />
SHELL, JACK WOLFSKIN now has a fabric<br />
that combines the advantages of softshells<br />
and hardshells. These jackets really do tick all<br />
the boxes!<br />
(You’ll find the corresponding products on<br />
pages 18-93.)<br />
Insulation: The second layer in the system,<br />
the mid layer, is usually a fleece or a light down<br />
jacket, depending on the activity and tem perature.<br />
The job of the mid layer is to shift moisture<br />
from the first layer to the outer layer and<br />
to provide insulation. You will now find down<br />
jackets suitable for an alpine layering system<br />
in our summer collection.<br />
(You’ll find the corresponding products on<br />
pages 25, 39, 116-129.)<br />
Climate comfort: The first layer, or base<br />
layer, should be capable of wicking sweat<br />
rapidly and effectively away from the body.<br />
This prevents you feeling damp and cold.<br />
Our functional tops and functional underwear<br />
are perfect for the job. For high-intensity<br />
activities base layers made from polyester<br />
fabrics are best (e.g. our new DRY’N LIGHT<br />
underwear), as they are very quick drying.<br />
For those who prefer natural fabrics, Merino<br />
wool is highly recommended; Merino absorbs<br />
less moisture than normal wool.<br />
