I live in Canada. And my layering system never exceed 4 layers! Even when it gets -35 celisious! 1. Choosing the base layer depends on how cold it is outside. So when it is very cold. I wear my heavyweight merino wool or high quality synthetic layer. 2. The outer shell layers will be the second key depends on if it is wet, snowing or just bitter dry. 3. Insulation layer could be wool or fleece. 4. It is not about the number of layers you wear. As it depends on the quality and the fabric of your clothing system.
@@pzzcc icebreaker 260 100% merino for top and bottom,but i need full pack for most extreme cold weather.My set includes icebreaker 260 top and bottom base layers (for staying in the camp i think to buy one more 260 for tom and bottom and that equals 520gm base layers for stay in the camp)my jacket is apex flex gtx 2.0 3layers gore tex.I will buy soon other equipment,what you recommend the price is not problem only i dont wanna down insulation?The problem is for the stay in the snow for photo sessions in minus 20 minus 25,what is the best gear list for very very small acticity?
Yea, I just kept looking for the woolen layers.. And even had to watch some of it over, because I thought I overlooked them. Nop, just not there! 😂 I've never needed that many layers either, and I'm an average woman (I'm actually spot on for hight here in Norway. I'm 1.67m 😂)
Me too. I live in Alaska and I never exceed four layers, even in -40F. -10 C is 14 F, and I do not even need base layers. 14F is not cold. I just wear hiking pants, t shirt, down jacket, mittens and a cap. I can stay out all day.
Welcome! The lowest you will experience in coastal Stvg is around -10. Usually temps range from 2-7+ in winter and 16-21 in summer. But if you move further inlands in the winter it's gonna be cold.
As someone who lives in an area that often gets the -40°C as well as participated in extreme cold arctic expeditions, the amount of layers you’re wearing is way too much and will cause you to overheat and sweat which is a sure way to get really cold and maybe even sick in the extreme cold. Getting wet in the cold can also cause hypothermia. That is just not how do you layer.
So much plastic and fleece from what I can see. I would encourage using more wool, down or a tightly woven cotton/polycotton fabric for the outer layers. Microplastics are also a thing to take into consideration.
@@IMOO1896 Cotton blends work just fine. Many outdoor companies use a blend of cotton and polyester with their technical garments including Fjällräven (G-1000), Lundhags (LPC), Sasta, Helicon-Tex etc. Then there's also Ventile which is 100% cotton.
@@jariperho If you wear cotton or cotton blends and you get wet you will die of hypothermia for sure it absorbs water wich collapses the fabric and loses all of its insulation affect also down is used in most of the setups but wool has some disadvantages
@@evlynstokes6014 If hypothermia from wet clothing is a realistic threat, then it doesn't really matter what you wear. You have to change to dry clothing. Nothing is practically warm, if it's soaking wet.
Не нужно столько слоев. Они не будут работать эффективно. На -30 достаточно теплого термобелья, флисовой кофты, утепленных штанов, сверху пуховую жилетку для утепления туловища и парки с капюшоном
Can the human body generate enough heat at -40 to stay outside continuously or is it just for a short period of time until you can get into a shelter? Thanks!
That makes me tired just watching and thinking about carrying all of that clothing weight. When you are buying boots, do you first decide on how many layers of socks you will wear with the boots? The boots that you wear in 0 degrees then would be too small for -20 degrees?
Just now ran across your delightful video. However entertaining,,,, nothing was said as WHAT the various levels of clothing were/are or the material they are made from. Not terribly useful unless we know that the layers are. Cute kid!!
base layers are probably polester or merino midlayers look to be fleece salapettes are probably synthetic insulated waterproof pants Eg primaloft with gortex or similar the jackets are probably down or synthetic insulated
Just curious, do you ever wear a liner glove inside the mittens when it gets super cold? If you have to take the mittens off to do something, don't want to expose skin right?
We wear liners often - and nearly always when below -30C inside gloves / mitts since we are constantly pulling our hands out and in from the mitts to work with the dogs. We keep spare ones in our pockets so as to change when wet. FYI Julia in this is just emphasising layers since clients frequently come with just one base, one fleece and then expect the outer to be sufficient. She is also super tiny and is wearing 7 technical wool / whatever when I am only wearing 4....it was mostly to make that point that the number of layers and making sure that there is enough room between them is important for the small folk in particular.
hi we plan to visit Abisko in Dec to chase the auroras. Any suggestions on the ideal layering. We come from a city where winter temperatures are 12 to 15 degree centigrade (basically winter for us and warm weather for many other countries!). Please do advise on warm yet economical fabric .
I don't want to be anywhere I have to wear that much clothing. I noticed you didn't layer on the gloves, are there standalone gloves that work for extreme wet and cold environments?
You may not know nothing about that but I agree that overkill wearing. During my army officer training we have to sleep outside at -40°C. Freezing river dropping cancelled due the temperature. That -25°C was kind a limit what feather sleeping bag can resist. -40°C was a painfull experience.
Cute video but bad advice. No one who's actually lived in arctic conditions would wear most of the clothing shown here. There are so many much more efficient and practical garments available; trust me, I've been there, done that. Just one example: all those layers of fleece could be replaced by one baffled down parka available from several manufacturers such as Rab or Montbell. Believe me, all that trendy, colorful clothing wont keep you warm at 30 below.
Yeah when it's -20 to -30 I just put on my Carhartt bibs and depending on what I'm doing, I might only wear a hooded sweatshirt for the top. Always wear a neck gaiter, hat and gloves and my Muck Boots.
How do you adjust for when you are working to when you are resting? And is that the same advice you give to someone that does not have your metabolism?
@@camezcym4975 Nope. But Julia is a tiny lady who has lived in the arctic for years and this is what works for her. She is basically explaining to other tiny people - particularly many of the french clients we get - that just sticking on one or two thick layers is simply not enough for them. Our skinny guides who live here long term often wear five to six layers on top and 3 to 4 below. The problem is the clients think that the thick suits are enough and then faint and put themselves and the dogs at risk so I think this video does just what it is intended...it makes them think about NOT trusting just one thick top layer. :) Of course for my mom, with lots of body fat, she can get away with a completely different clothing system. And if all you do is pop to the shop, for sure you can do that in 1 Rab jacket. But you CANNOT run husky safaris outside 12 hours a day in one jacket. It just isn't enough. And also doesn't give you enough flexibility when the temperatures might change 20 degrees up or down in a day. I am a tough arctic 12 year old so my clothing layering choices are somewhere in-between Julia's and my mom's.
Just a pair of thermal bottoms (wool or synthetic) and a waterproof pant / Fjellraven-type trousers. (This is really just a guide, only, to ensuring that people really understand that they have to add multiple layers - ideally of as good material as they can).
Are all those jackets the same size? All the jackets have a zip through collar which she never uses it looks like. Then she puts neck gaiters on. I wish they wouldn't have zip through collars because the just get in way and hit your chin.
I think she was probably too hot to do everything up but the zips provide the chance to heat regulate more easily than when you have clothes without them.
This is not how you dress. You have WAY too many layers on. Here’s how to properly dress: a base layer, a mid layer, an outer layer. You should only use wool or synthetics. NO COTTON. The thickness of your middle layer (think a sweater or fleece jacket) as well as your outer layer will depend on the temperature outside. You can also have two thinner outer layers (like a thin down jacket underneath a thicker down jacket) instead of a thicker jacket (like a thick parka). This will allow you to remove a layer if you get too hot. Overheating is dangerous in the cold as it can cause you to sweat, which will make you really cold and In certain situations can give you hypothermia. That is also why you should avoid cotton. It is bad at wicking moisture, doesn’t insulate well,holds on to moisture and takers a long time to dry. There’s a cold weather survival saying that says :cotton kills. Your baselayer shouldn’t be too thick as the purpose of a base layer is to wick moisture away from your body, thus helping you stay dry and therefore warm. A baselayer that is too thick will cause you to sweat. If you are getting cold, you don’t need a thicker baselayer, you need a thicker middle layer and outer layer. A baselayer should be between 125gsm and 250gsm. (180gsm to 200gsm is perfect) gsm means grams per square meter of whatever fabric the baselayer is made of. I hope this helps. Don’t put too many layers like in this video.
OK this is bs as fuck I can say from experience that you dont have to wear that much. Like 0c° is stil hoodie and jeans 😑 after that you can use somekind of jacket. -10° you can still use jeans sneakers just dont use the socks were your ankle is without protection. in -20 I still use jeans but now I put these long underwear things under the jeans.

What you recommend for - 25 - 30 without down insulate?
What is your base layer ? It rarely goes below 0 here and that is my first time considering base layer.

I guess it all depends on how active one is. Then the layering would be different
It snows in Australia but it gets the most coldest -5 degrees
Glad she's pretty makes this educational video so much more entertaining.
I love the ice cold, even women give up on matching their clothes and making sure they look good......
Thank you for this video! I'm going to Torassieppi in January and it has really helped me figure out what I need to stay warm. xx
Look at your video that is amazing and admiration about your suffering but weather.

Imagine you wana poo so bad, the moment you are done wearing all these layers.

Try using Oros Orion Parka. I was told that it works till -20°C.

Wow! You must live in Canada 🇨🇦💪🏽
I live in Québec, Canada, and at -30c we put a lot less layers than this
while my gf wear skinny jeans and hoodie only in -15
Yeah, but what was the temperature indoors where she was sitting?
-15 what? From 90?
And high heels as well?
Your -40 would probably take me to -120.
Some people are a little more sensitive to the cold than others. Thank you for watching.
@@HettaHuskiesa little more sensitive? Your -10c is my -50c. Just get a better outer layer at that point.

Merino wool layers and materials like powerstretch are best.
how did i get here?
wear nothing, because finnish sisu prevents you from freezing over.
hypothermia is weakness of the spirit.
Wear is the down experditions jacket on -40?
Nice video
Thank you. Shared on Facebook. :)
What’s that red Rab jacket called? I want one
Wow, you dress really warmy for these temperatures. I have to admit i never stayed the whole day in less than -20, so probably you're right.
I don't want to be anywhere I have to wear that much clothing. I noticed you didn't layer on the gloves, are there standalone gloves that work for extreme wet and cold environments?
We use simple magic gloves, ski-type gloves and then mitts, depending on the temperature. Sometimes all three.
Thanks
How do i go to the toilet
chawin007 you dont
you don't wait until the last minute, that's for sure.
IN FINLAND PEOPLE DONT GO TO THE TOILET
You use nappies
Lol waaay to many layers, its always about quality over quantity.

-40°C in Arctics is almost a hot summer! I wear '-10°C' combo only when it's below -25°C.

fall asleep in kipinä...or pour kerosine onto the stove cos sleep deprivation fairies told you so.
you must be well wrapped up there!
