Our Tri-Layer System

3-Layer systems are nothing new in the outdoor clothing. Some companies started out making base layers, others started by making down jackets - but FORLOH started from the skin out and designed an integrated system of a highly breathable and warm baselayer, then developed a uniquely breathable...

Light pants. Kryptek Valhalla or sitka ascent. Or go heavier (any brand's version of softshell pants) if they have thigh vent zips. Bring merino long johns if static below 50. Bring puffy pants if static below 35. Light shirt/sun hoody. Kuiu/Sitka merino 120 work well, or any Light synthetic. I only do the thinnest wool so it can actually dry. The key to drying wool faster is to put a synthetic layer over it. Here's the one piece of clothing system technology I wouldn't go without - POLARTEC ALPHA or PRIMALOFT EVOLVE. Fastest drying warmest best fleece layer that exists. Go through the ice and walk it dry, amazing. Outdoor research used to make good pieces that are discontinued. Beyond clothing does also. Sitka ambient is where it's at now. Puffy for sitting still below 50 degrees. Down or synthetic. Outdoor research Superstrand LT is synthetic but as light as down, breatheable but still warm. My latest layers at 12,000' with frosty mornings were 120 weight wool leggings and top, kryptek Valhalla pants, sitka kelvin active hoody, OR superstrand jacket, Beanie, mechanix gloves, thin darn tough socks, arcteryx Konseal approach shoes (synthetic mesh upper). That's it. The thinner the material, the quicker it dries, and the warmer you stay. That's my philosophy.

Despite what the naysayers claim, the newer Gucci brands of camo make really good equipment. It’s more like athletic wear designed for outdoor use. I think all of the “alpha” brands are great and I always wait until I see sales to buy lots of stuff at once. I’ve had good luck with durability too.

Since you’re at the “I only have cotton” level of clothing right now, I recommend getting schooled up in layering. I’m into merino wool for base layers, but synthetics can work well too.

Lastly, don’t be afraid to shop spring sales for ski/snowboard clothing. It works well too.

I've been using this for 2 seasons now, and it is absolutely the best "next to skin" base-layer that you can own. The only thing that goes under these, for me, is going to be a merino blend boxer-brief... If it's going to be a tad cooler, I will wear a poly base-layer over top of these (preferably with a heat-reflective type lining). Or use these, the poly layer, and then thin pants (durable for your outer layer though).
