Nowadays, all mountain sportsmen and women make use of the three-layer system. This system consists of keeping the body dry and at a good temperature by wearing three different types of clothing. On the one hand, in summer or in sunny conditions, it is recommended to wear clothes with bright, light colours to repel the heat. Lightweight, thin T-shirts are recommended for maximum breathability. However, as mentioned above, weather conditions can change suddenly, so in summer it is also recommended to carry a waterproof jacket in your backpack. Nowadays, there are brands that manufacture fully waterproof jackets that are very thin, lightweight, and very easy to carry. In winter, on the other hand, it is important to stick to the three-layer system. The first layer, the T-shirt, will wick away all the sweat and keep the body dry. The second layer, a jacket, is the main purpose of keeping the body warm. The outermost layer keeps out rain and snow. However, wearing all three layers can be a bit uncomfortable, so nowadays, mid-layers are becoming more and more versatile. In the world of trail running, tights are always recommended for the bottom layer. Thanks to their lightness, they are often very comfortable to run in. To finish with the section on clothing, the importance of accessories should be emphasised. In winter it is highly recommended to wear a hat and gloves to keep the whole body warm. In summer, it is advisable to wear a cap and sunglasses to protect yourself from the sun. You should also pay attention to the choice of socks, as there are socks specially designed for running.
