Layering 101: Stay Warm and Dry During Your Outdoor Adventures


Venturing into the Scottish Highlands or any rugged terrain demands preparation. The key to comfort and safety lies in effective layering. At BushWear, we offer a comprehensive range of base layers, mid-layers, and outer layers to ensure you stay warm, dry, and ready for any adventure.

Understanding the Layering System

  • Base Layer: Wicks moisture away from the skin to keep you dry.
  • Mid Layer: Provides insulation to retain body heat.
  • Outer Layer: Shields against wind, rain, and snow.
