In this episode which is sponsored by 5.11 Tactical Finland we'll talk about the first and most important part of cold weather clothing: base layers. The video goes through what you should look for in a base layer set, what are the pros and cons of fabrics such as polyester and merino wool, and why you should probably wear a light base layer rather than a heavy one.

Taival Outdoors is a channel about the great outdoors, spending time in nature doing everything from day hikes and overnight adventures to bikepacking and multiday 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!
