When layering clothes for winter hiking, you want your mid layer to insulate and keep you warm. The mid layer works to retain your body heat while you reach the peaks. Mid layers need to be breathable and allow moisture to escape. A variety of materials and styles perform as great mid layers. 

Tellus mid layer options come in flannel, polyester and fleece from button-up to pullover to full-zip. Gauge the weather, your potential exertion level on a trail and your metabolism to pick the right mid layer for your trek.

Also known as a shell, the outer layer is what protects you against the weather. If it’s raining, snowing, or windy, you want the right outer layer that keeps the elements out. Considerations for an outer layer include hardshell, softshell and insulating properties. When it’s wet you want a waterproof hardshell for your outer layer. When it’s cold you want a softshell. But if it’s cold and windy, you want the hardshell. 

Tellus outer layers perform expertly in the elements. From a softshell to a waterproof rain shell to a down jacket and a fluffy parka you have options to keep you cozy whatever the weather.
