How to choose your hiking jacket

Dressing properly for an outdoor sport like hiking is based on the 3-layer system, also called layering: Breathable base layer: a next-to-skin layer that moves moisture away from the skin. Insulating midlayer: a garment that’s worn over the first layer to protect against cold when necessary. Protective outer layer: a jacket that protects against exterior elements like rain, snow, and wind. When you’re hiking it’s essential to take a jacket with you regardless of the weather even though it’s easy to underestimate the importance of this when the weather is good. Your jacket might stay at the bottom of your pack throughout the entire hike, but it will come in handy when the wind picks up unexpectedly or if you’re surprised by a downpour. In the mountains when conditions get really wet, a waterproof jacket can be an invaluable piece of gear.   How much protection
