Clothing for a day of changing weather

Short answer: Changing weather is handled with layers you can take off, not with one piece trying to cover everything. Three thin layers cover a wider range than one thick.

Three layers rather than one

A thin base layer, a light top and a windproof outer layer cover from five to fifteen degrees. One thick layer covers only one point. See sweat clothing.

The base layer does not change

Whatever the weather, the base layer has to move moisture. It is the only layer that stays the same all day. See bamboo underwear for men.

Something you can pack

A top that can be rolled up and put in a bag is more usable than one you have to carry. See bamboo T-shirts for men.

The socks

If your feet get wet, the day is ruined. An extra pair takes up nothing. See all bamboo socks for men.

Dry properly afterwards

Wet clothing in a heap smells after a day. See washing and care.
