peer agreement (net): +3layered clothing Explanation: See the term in use and full explanation on this site, for example: http://www.bluedome.co.uk/beginners/travelgear.html -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 13 mins (2006-12-07 19:54:50 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- More info: Clothing should be selected on the basis of keeping the body at a constant temperature throughout the day. The three most dangerous factors are moisture, wind and extremes of temperature. No Single garment can protect against all three factors, whilst having the flexibility to cope with different levels of activity and the large fluctuations in weather which can occur in the hills. Therefore a ***layered clothing*** system is recommended. The insulating mid layer provides most of the warmth. However, in order for it to insulate properly it must be protected from being penetrated by wind and moisture - which is achieved by the outer or shell layer of waterproof clothing. The base layer is next to the skin, and keeps it dry by wicking away moisture caused by sweating, as well as providing the initial warm thermal layer. http://www.geocities.com/Yosemite/Gorge/6201/clsystem.html More refs. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q="layered clothing" &btn... |
