"I'd like to talk about the mid layer now. Like the base layer, the mid layer also needs not to be cotton. It could be synthetic; it could be wool. This is a fleece, which is a polyester. And this is designed to keep you warm by holding in your body warmth. It uses dead-air space that holds it in. Now, it's called the mid layer. You may think, well, it's in the middle; I know that there's a base layer, what else is there? There's a shell that goes over top of this. But the mid layer is basically creating dead-air space. And it could be a fleece like this, or it could be a down vest, or any of a number of things, wool shirt, anything that, as long as it's not cotton and can dry relatively quickly, it'll hold that warmth in and also allow you to ventilate. This one actually has a number of venting options: a little vent right there; because you want to stay warm, but you don't want to sweat too much. The base layer will wick the moisture away, but you have to make sure you vent excess heat. If you have any questions about mid layers, contact your local outfitter and give them a holler."
