Outer layer protects you from the elements - Cold weather clothing & layering (4/6)

Outer layer during cold winter months has a simple, but an important job: keep out the elements while staying breathable, so you don’t overheat and start sweating. Outerwear gets a lot of attention (and can get quite pricey) in layering guides, but in my opinion, good field wear comes in many different forms, as demonstrated in this video. I’m covering different types of jackets from non-insulated wind and waterproof hardshells to super warm down jackets, and a few oddballs in between. In the end, I’ll also touch upon what to look for in winter pants. This should give you a good idea how to combine different layers especially when you’re active outdoors in below freezing conditions.

Taival Outdoors is a channel about the great outdoors, spending time in nature doing everything from day hikes and overnight adventures to bikepacking and multi-day wilderness backpacking. Trekking is close to my heart, but I’m not tied to any particular "genre" like ultralight or bushcraft – instead I do what I've found through my experience in the wild to work the best for me. I'm also making gear reviews and skill videos based on what I actually use and how I operate in nature. Thanks for watching!
