Layering System

In cold climates, layering is essential to optimize performance and regulate body temperature. Thermal layers are designed to trap warmth, wick moisture away from the skin, and ensure breathability, reducing the risk of chill, injury and discomfort.

Base LAYER - Stay Dry

The base layer pulls moisture away from your skin to keep you dry and prevent chills. Made from Merino wool or high-performance synthetics, it regulates temperature, promotes breathability, and combats odor. With a soft, streamlined fit, it ensures you stay comfortable and focused, mile after mile.

MID LAYER - STAY WARM

The mid layer adds insulation without the risk of overheating. Lightweight fleece or Merino wool regulates body heat, trapping warmth while letting sweat escape, keeping your core temperature stable and your confidence high, even in the coldest conditions.

 

Outer LAYER - STAY Protected

Our outer layers are your final line of defense against wind, rain and cold. Breathable, weatherproof materials keep you dry and protected without sacrificing comfort, ensuring you perform at your best, no matter what the forecast brings.

 

FAQ Layering

How many layers do i really need for cold weather running?

Don’t let the cold, rain or wind keep you from your exercise routine: The Reflective Windbreaker for Men offers you perfect protection during your runs. It keeps you warm and ensures you remain visible even in the dark. And, because it’s so easy to take with you, it’s always on hand when you need to cover up quickly.

How do I choose the right tights for cold weather?

Look for tights that balance warmth, compression, and breathability. Lighter styles are perfect for daily runs, while insulated tights with added support and smart storage are ideal for longer, colder sessions.

What makes a good base layer?

A good base layer keeps you dry. It should fit close to your skin, draw moisture away efficiently, and remain breathable—even when you sweat. Avoid cotton and opt for performance fabrics or Merino blends designed to regulate temperature.

Are accessories necessary?

Absolutely. Cold hands or feet, or an exposed head can disrupt your focus. Accessories help regulate temperature and protect vulnerable areas, ensuring comfort and performance even during the longest runs.

Do I always need a mid layer?

Not always. On milder days, a base and outer layer may suffice. However, when temperatures drop or winds pick up, a mid-layer adds essential insulation without overheating.

What if I overheat during a run?

Start slightly cool—your body will quickly warm up. If you feel too warm, slow your pace or adjust your layers for the next run. A well-balanced layering system ensures you manage temperature fluctuations with ease.

What’s the difference between a vest and a jacket as an outer layer?

Vests keep your core warm while allowing full arm mobility—ideal for transitional weather. Jackets offer full protection from the harshest conditions like wind, rain and snow. Choose based on weather and activity intensity.

Do I always need an outer layer in cold conditions?

Not always. On calm, dry days, a base and mid layer may be enough—especially at higher intensities. But when wind, rain, or snow kick in, an outer layer becomes essential to keep you protected and focused during your run.

Compression

Compression enhances proprioception with deep sensory activation of muscles and joints, improving movement accuracy and reducing injury risk. Concurrent compression reduces muscle vibrations, conserving energy and reducing muscle soreness during exercise. Moreover compression boosts blood flow, improving delivery of oxygen and valuable nutrients, reducing swelling and keeping muscles fresher for longer.
