Full Zip Mid Layer

The Full Zip 400 Mid layer from TOBE offers a mid layer that zips so that you can easily take it off or put it on making it more adaptable in different situations.

The Base Layer

The base layer is the next-to-skin layer, which means that more than any other layer, the base layer helps regulate your body temperature by moving perspiration away from your skin. Perspiration trapped inside your clothing can leave you chilled and damp regardless of how well your shell layer fends off the rain and snow.

Keeping dry is important to maintaining a cool body temperature in the summer and avoiding hypothermia in the winter. If you've ever worn a cotton T-shirt under your raincoat while hiking, you probably remember feeling wet and clammy, even though you weren't getting wet from the rain itself. Cotton is an example of a fabric that retains perspiration and leaves you wet and uncomfortable with the chills.

For outdoor comfort, your base layer should be made of merino wool. Rather than absorbing moisture, these fabrics transport (or wick) perspiration away from your skin, dispersing it on the outer surface where it can evaporate. The result: you stay drier even when you sweat, and your shirt dries faster afterwards. Base layers in conjunction with TOBE's Sympatex outer shells keeps you dry inside and out.
