Takeaways:
- Do not use Cotton as your inner or middel layer when it gets wet it will make you cold.
- There are different wool baselayers, regular, mesh and with zippers
- Don't let it sit too thigh or too loose, you need to be able to move, and it needs to be thigh enough so you get maximum warming effect
- There are many reasons to buy wool, it transport moist, keeps you warm even when wet, it is self cleaning, don't keep smell like sweat and little bacteria, you don't need to wash it as often and are quite resistant to fire
The middle layer/ insulating layer:
100% Wool sweater:

Fleece:
amzn.to/3T5JBMm
Down jacket:
amzn.to/3OR5OuW
Down pants:

Takeaways:
- Create airpockets between the inner and middle layer, it will keep the warm better
-Often used when sitting still or when doin low activities to avoid sweating too much
-Use a thick wool sweater, fleece or down
-Consider bringing along an extra pair of wool underwear pants or down pants
Outer Layer / shell layer
(A soft Shell is mostly used for spring, summer and autumn)
Jacket:

Fjellraven:
This has a cotton and poliester mix G-1000

And a wax to make it even more waterproof and long-lasting

Takeaways:
-This layer is supposed to keep out the weather
The higer water column the better protected against wet weather
- Cotton vs synthetic pants. Cotten breathes but gets wet quicker ( though hybrids do exists) and synthetic keeps out water better but breathes less.
- Choose with strops and or velcro to have the pants keep up and that no bodyparts gets exposed.

- Use 2 wool hats if really cold
- Use a neck warmer different ways to best suite your preference
A scarf can be used, but it can fly in the wind and ruff up your hair
- Use glows or mittens that matches your activeties
- Wool is gold and you want them on your feet too. Remember to not wear cotton
- Use two pairs of socks if you are really cold, but again if you don't have any room in your shoe you will get cold
- Rather buy a size bigger if you know you are going to have many layers on your foot
- Find shoes that have a thick sole, you don't want to the cold to sneak inn through your soles.
- Find waterproof shoes that have a protective membrane like Gore-Tex or Sympatex
- REMEMBER your reflections it is dark in Norway in the winter, don't take any risks
Being out in the cold is not a fashion show, so dress so you feel as comfortable as possible!
