Are Fishnet Base Layers the Most Versatile for Hiking?

Описание: Hi folks!

Today, I decided to test my mesh thermal clothes (top and leggings) on a local hike to a new firepit shelter (called a kota in Finnish). I wanted to see how the clothes would fare at +3C. I wore a puffy jacket to increase my body heat while moving and promote sweating. The idea was to simulate heavier activity and then remove the puffy jacket, using only the base layer and a light polyester shirt on top. I tested how it feels to have only these layers, how fast the heat would dissipate and I would feel cold, and how well the mesh layers would perform in wicking sweat away from my skin. As we know, dry skin is warm skin.
The mesh top is made mainly from merino wool by the Norwegian company Aclima, while the leggings are synthetic (polypropylene) and are produced by Svala of Finland.
Overall, the clothes worked well for the light to moderate hiking activity in cool conditions. I hope to make follow-up videos of their performance during heavy activity (cross-country skiing) and as cooling garments in hot weather. Stay tuned!
