Base Layers
In Iceland’s ever-changing climate, layering is the smartest way to dress for the outdoors. Each layer works together to regulate body temperature and keep you comfortable in all weather conditions. The base layer is worn closest to the skin and plays a crucial role in moisture management by drawing sweat away from the body. Without proper moisture control, sweat cools on the skin, lowering body temperature and causing discomfort. Therefore, a high-quality base layer is important to keep you dry, warm, and ready for all adventure. Choosing the Right Base Layer Selecting the right base layer material is essential for performance and comfort. Icewear base layers are crafted from high-quality merino wool, an ideal choice for outdoor activities. Merino wool is lightweight, soft against the skin, and naturally regulates body temperature while effectively wicking moisture away. It also features antibacterial properties that reduce odors, meaning garments can often be aired out instead of washed which is perfect for travel and extended outdoor use. You can read more about merino wool and different types of materials on the Icewear blog. Icewear's Base Layer Collections Hvítanes, Svartanes, Skóganes and Drangsnes are Icewear’s base layer collections made out of merino wool. The word nes means a headland in Icelandic, commonly used in place names to describe land reaching into the sea. Icewear uses it to reflect the rugged Icelandic landscapes that inspire each collection.

Hiking gear for outdoor adventures
Hiking in Iceland: What to wear when hiking in Iceland The trick to dressing for the Icelandic climate is to be prepared for quick weather changes. Dressing in layers for example is essential, as well as choosing the right kind of materials. The right clothing helps staying warm, but avoids overheating too. Good hiking pants should be durable, comfortable, and provide protection from the environment you're exploring. Icewear offers a great selection of hiking pants with various features, ranging from lightweight, zip-off pants for warmer conditions to waterproof and durable options. Hiking gear for the outdoor enthusiast Icewear has a big collection of high quality hiking gear to enjoy Iceland in all its beauty. Many famous trails are available almost all year round and some of them are just outside of the city limits. When it comes to hiking, the right clothing can make all the difference. One common challenge is inadequate layering, wearing too much can lead to overheating or excessive sweating, not enough layers will leave you cold. A proper system includes a moisture-wicking base layer, an insulating mid-layer, and a weather-resistant outer shell to regulate temperature and comfort. This applies in particularly to Iceland where the weather seems to change every 5 minutes. Finding the right clothing is one thing, next step will be to choose the right sizes for your body type. Poorly fitting clothing or rough seams may lead to chafing and discomfort on longer hikes. Areas like the inner thighs, underarms and shoulders are most vulnerable. Choosing seamless, well-fitted garments and using anti-chafing balms can help prevent irritation. This will help in terms of mobility too, since clothing can slow down hikers when the outfit is too bulky or the gear is heavy. Opting for lightweight, packable clothing reduces unnecessary weight for a more enjoyable hiking adventure. Switchback hiking in Iceland Iceland might not be known for it´s mountains, but it can be challenging to walk up the various hills and peaks. Here´s where switchback hiking comes in; zigzag up or down a steep slope rather than going straight. This technique reduces the incline's difficulty and minimizes erosion, which is an important topic in Iceland. When going uphill, not just clothing needs to fit well. Footwear is another common pain point, especially blisters caused by socks and boots. Ill-fitting shoes, friction, and moisture all contribute to unwelcome blisters. The solution here is to wear shoes that are properly broken in, moisture-wicking socks, and consider using blister-prevention tape. Drop by an Icewear store for more hiking clothing tips, and stay comfortable on any trail you set out on.

Read that again. “Water-repellent” is the measure, and gear labeled as waterproof or water-resistant tells you how repellent that article is. To make outerwear water-repellent, a DWR or PU treatment is added to the shell or infused with the article’s fibers. Water-resistant outerwear is designed to resist contact with light water (rain showers, snow flurries). Outerwear labeled as “waterproof” gives you the highest level of water protection. Kids rainwear Kids should be free to run, climb, and explore, which is why the perfect children’s rain jacket is a must.
