Thermal Layer

One or more thermal layers may be needed, depending on anticipated activity levels and temperature extremes.

The choice includes both synthetic and merino wool options.


First Consider
Paramo Mountain Vent (Pull On)

The three Paramo ‘Pull-on’ garments, in Nickwax Parameta S polyester fabric, are extremely comfortable and thermally efficient layers. With easy to adjust ventilation, these garments are designed to work beneath Paramo outer layer garments. May be used as base layers but in colder climates an additional layer may be needed underneath. www.paramo.co.uk

  • Paramo Mountain Vent Pull-on (works well beneath Aspira jacket or smock)
Other Options - synthetic or merino fleece

Consider the many garments in the Ullfrotte range (min. 66% merino wool), of various thickesses, both women’s and men’s styles. www.woolpower.se

Consider also the polyester fleece garments from Rab, including some windproof designs and also women’s styles. www.rab.uk.com/

Don’t forget that synthetic and down filled vests may be a suitable option, allowing freedom of arm movement whilst providing significant body Insulation (from Rab).
