Layering Calculator
Plan your clothing layers based on temperature, activity level and weather conditions.
How We Calculate This
The calculator adjusts the temperature for activity heat generation and wind chill, then recommends appropriate layers.
Effective temp = Air temp + Wind adjustment + Activity adjustment
- Above 20°C: 1-2 layers, lightweight wicking
- 10-20°C: 3 layers, standard system
- 0-10°C: 4-5 layers, with insulation
- Below 0°C: 5-6 layers, heavyweight insulation
