Clothing for a day of moving a lot between outdoors and indoors

Short answer: If you move often between cold and warm, you sweat indoors and get cold outdoors. A base layer that moves moisture breaks that cycle.

The sweat indoors is the problem

You sweat when you come in with your coat on. Go out again with a damp base layer and it cools you. See bamboo undershirt for men.

Take the coat off

The simplest move is to take the outer layer off straight away when you come in. Then you never start sweating.

Layers you can regulate

A top with a zip can be opened without you having to take it off. See sweat clothing.

Avoid cotton innermost

Cotton holds onto the moisture and gets cold. Bamboo viscose passes it on. See bamboo underwear for men.

The socks follow the same rule

Damp feet get cold immediately outdoors. See all bamboo socks for men.
