Wind + speed + humidity = lower perceived temperature.
To do this, always follow thisgolden ruledepending on the temperature range:
- 1 breathable layer against the skin (base layer)
- 1 insulating (thermal) layer
- 1 windbreaker (in your pocket)
- wick away moisture
LEGS:as soon as the temperature drops below 10°C
HANDS:the first game changer
