The first part of the layering systems starts next to the skin, with a baselayer. The baselayer sits snug against the skin and is designed to trap a thin layer of warm air against the body. Made in technical fabrics.
Whatever you choose- make sure you avoid cotton layers. Cotton soaks up sweat like a sponge and when it’s wet; it draws heat away from the body, which is why you can feel cold while sweating in cotton, and in the worst case scenario can cause hypothermia. (Hypothermia can be contracted even in ‘mild’ weather!)
