Learn to Tolerate Winter Series: Base Layers

The right clothes let you enjoy the outdoors in the cold, whereas the wrong clothes will have you miserable and ready to go back inside. Part 2 of the Learn to Love/Tolerate Winter Series focuses on base layers. Base layers are the first layer you put on after underwear. Their job is to prevent your sweat from cooling you down by wicking moisture away from your body. Base layers come in different materials and thicknesses, but it’s not easy for the non-outdoors-person to understand. Let me help decode some of the details to help you buy your first pair.
