How to choose a mid layer | Fjällräven

I love the man’s style pack down hoodie on Sofia and ordered a man’s one for myself as a woman, and I get the benefit of the added length too. I also have the Singi down jacket and know I am prepared for the coldest days. My husband also has this combo and we love Fjallraven gear!

Well, my question is to the photographer… what lens was that?

Ou se trouve la traduction en français Cordialement

What are the different properties of synthetic insulation compared to fleece?
Among these, there is for example the ability to insulate despite being wet due to the rain.

👍👍👍💯💯🙋🇨🇵

Sofia and Calle are the best make more episodes with them!

Uppskatta din informativa video om de olika typerna och användningarna av mellanlager.
Men jag önskar att jag kunde tala svenska lika flytande som ni båda talar Engelska.

what layer would an exceptionally hairy back be classed as ?

Ttyf

Pretty expensive stuff, but it payed of every dime i spend in it.

No

Very disappointed that No mention of Polartec Alpha. The most superior fabric. Used by a lot of Special forces. Like Brynje base layers . Unfortunately most outdoor companies have a lot of marketing Bs, but very little independent scientific specs. As for smell with synthetics, Polygene works wonders.

Porque siempre no se habla de las capas o materiales o construcción de la zona de pantalones,.... siempre abrigo o capas superiores...estará el video de las partes inferiores

Not possible to cover all possible conditions and solutions in a short video. Sofia and Calle did a great job covering a wide range of issues. I would add that the mid layer should always be thought of as part of a system What choices you make for the mid layer are affected by the choice you make for the outer layer (in combination with personal preference and physiology). If there is risk of rain or wet snow, the outer layer will be waterproof with minimal breathability. Wind resistance on mid layers isn't important while wearing a waterproof shell. In fact, polyester shells integrated into a down or synthetic fill garment can impede moisture transfer. But when the outer layer is not being worn during dry but windy conditions, some wind resistance in a mid layer is welcome. If going into dry but windy conditions, a soft shell can handle the job of wind resistance without relying on extra help from linings on the mid layers. A thin, super lightweight windshirt can be a useful addition to your pack when using open weave mid layers without a waterproof shell.

What is the name of the cap in the video?

Winter trekking I use a wool base layer and a merino wool mid-layer, with a Ventile shell. If it gets cold I add a synthetic (Primaloft) jacket to the mix and if I stop for a while I add a down jacket over all that.

Am I the only one who could watch Sofia explain anything? She's so pleasant! Calle seems like a nice guy too.

You didn't refer to polypropylene, lighter, a better hydrophobic, less expensive as well as providing a sense of warmth versus polyester. Polyester gathers moisture from the air and adds weight however the lighter weight polyester is less absorbent. Fishnet polypropylene is even better than plain polypro in that it traps your warm air. Agreeably so, combining polyester with mohair as in a base layer that I own is definitely an excellent reasonably light and warm layer. I do wonder however how a polypro and mohair base layer would stack up against the polyester with mohair base layer. Second layer is a toss up however my wool sweater over my polypro layer or my fishnet polypro over my basic polypro base layer requires further testing to determine best solution. Product weight and perspiration removal between the two is another variable to consider. My synthetic insulated jacket is close in weight to my down insulated jacket. Here is a greater difficulty for studying due to fill weight and no question about down failure in wet conditions.

I wear a mixture of both wool or synthetic mids. A one a Local Guide here in Vancouver, Canada, we get a great climate that can test the best of gear. On a day hike in cool weather with the risk of getting quite cold, I normally wear a light synthetic if it's dry since I'll be sweating for sure as I run very hot. I will normally be found in a Bergtagen Lite Insulated jacket and I carry a shell (again Bergtagen) for the rain. I also carry another down or wool layer for when I stop for a break. I choose that layer by thinking about whether me or friends will be lighting a fire at some point. If fire, I bring the wool, if none, I do the down.

I am loving this content—keep it up! :)

Great video. Love my canada shirt for using as a mid layer for a day hike in milder weather or combined with a wool sweater when it’s really cold.

What are the name of the pants you are wearing? The mens pants. Thx.

Love all my products from this company. And I keep buying on a regular basis . Not cheap but worth every penny.

Calle, where did you get that soft blue Expedition Pack Down Hoodie? I don't think I've seen that color yet. :)

A very balanced tutorial. Getting kid layers right is crucial to any trip. I have several which can be used depending on the type of trip and the season and the weather that I am expecting. You covered a lot of variants which is really useful. Keep up the good work.

I was just thinking about this, thank you guys for the free content we appreciate it:)

Like this series! 🤗 Well when it comes to this combination of materials you mentioned I like to prevent them because I think it is way harder to reuse or recycle these. And I love the natural ones like wool and down more because I find them more breathable. 🤷🏼‍♂️ What I really dislike is polyester. It’s getting so smelling so fast. And don’t forget the micro plastic that is going in our water circulation by washing it. I really hope you will find some better alternatives some day! What about hemp, alga and tencil?

Another factor to consider for choosing your mid layers is how much do you sweat personally with any type of physical exertion. You can put two people of the same athletic ability together and one will we sweating buckets while the other is slightly sweating. Be honest with yourself and really pay attention to that because it can mean the difference between life and death for you and or those with you if they have to take care of you.

loved everything about this!

Loved the music on this one!
