  • Base and mid-layers – Be it Women Fleeces or Men Fleeces as base layers are what you wear beneath your pants and jackets. These base layers are essential in cold climates. When you buy the base and mid-layers, you have to avoid cotton products as they are not breathable, and on the other hand, they are also not waterproof. So you need to choose the woollen base and mid-layers. A mid-layer is a must if there is extreme cold in the mountains and nothing like adding some fleece.
