judging by some of the things you do, you're pretty active. If you're just going to the shops to get groceries, or walking around casually, do you still layer up? Or just bring 1 really thick jacket? My concern is the very warm indoor temperature vs the freezing cold outside.
If a piece of clothing or gear has been popular for centuries, it shouldn't be dismissed just because more advanced alternatives are available. This is often, but not always true. Can't see swapping out a proper wool sweater from my arsenal any time soon.
This is super nice content! Varusteleka's Särmä TST Clothing System info they have put and all the layering info is nice, but from actually seeing the clothing on someone makes it much easier to understand for me attleast. Lately been starting to care more about my clothing habits, this series will definitely help with that!
Thanks! I think Varusteleka did a great job creating their layering system and it seems they put some real thought behind it. Other manufacturers should take notice.
Great video thanks. Your gear is mostly merino or merino blend. I was never a fan of merino. What are your thoughts? I can usually get a away wearing level 1 and level 2 + outer shell if I’m moving.
Check out the previous video in this series where I discuss merino vs synthetic. I do have a lot of synthetics as well, especially towards the outer layers. Definitely when moving it needs to get really cold before needing more layers than that.

The Woolpower 400 vest is an excellent midlayer. I like to combine it with a lightweight alpaca hoodie to increase core warmth while maintaining arm flexibility.
Hey! Hello, I noticed in one of your videos you mention being from Finland. I would like to ask you a question relating to outter shell for winter (in -8C°). I bought a second hand 80's "Nahka-aitta" jacket, it seems a little light, but other than that, looks in great condition, do you think it could help as an outter shell for windy conditions? Oh and it also has a tag that says "Porelle, waterproof & breathable", I ask all of this because I could not find any information online hahaha thanks so much, great content!
Hi, no problem. Nahka-aitta is indeed still in business, and I believe their quality is considered generally to be good. Porelle membranes are still manufactured as well, but of course as the garment is so old, the waterproofness/breathability of the membrane is likely deteriorated. Generally speaking clothing with any such membranes will make them windproof, so I'd imagine it does work as an outer shell during winter, especially in dry conditions.👍

You can always take off layers, but if you don't have them with you in the first place, it's impossible to add any in case you need them.
Another excellent video. Classic wool sweater is always a solid choice.Great in front of the fire as well.

Which combination of models of dresses would you recommend to me? for autumn/winter around -5 to 5 degrees. The one with the vest looks cool

@@TaivalOutdoors ECWCS does that but it’s not civilian.
@@MarcP5267 True. It's also quite complex system and therefore perhaps a bit hard to translate into civilian use.
@@TaivalOutdoors you can modify it. Base layer , mid layer out shell.

Which combo do you have? Woolpower 400 vest and which hoodie?
