Layer 1
Closest to the body, the child should wear a garment that is warm and comfortable. At the beginning of the season it can be clothes in cotton or bamboo, but when it gets colder, wool is a good choice. Wool warms even if it gets damp or wet.
When you buy wool clothing, you want it to be mulesing-free, which means ethical animal husbandry. Our wool clothing is Oeko-Tex certified.
Why should you use woolen clothes?
Temperature regulation
Gentle on the skin
Doesn't smell
Does not need to be washed often
Free from chemicals
Layer 2
When you have dressed your child in layer 1, it is time for the middle layer - layer 2. Perfect for middle layers is a fleece set or a wind fleece jacket.
Fleece is a garment that warms and keeps your child dry. Fleece is made from recycled polyester -Recycled polyester comes from recycled plastic bottles and residual material from textile production
Fleece clothing is available in several different variants.
Thinner fleece is easiest to adapt to, for example, shell clothing and winter clothing.
Wind fleece also resists wind if you want to use it as a jacket in spring and autumn. But warms just as well under a shell jacket.
The Teddy Pile fleece is a thicker fleece that is super cozy as a jacket in the fall, it resists wind better than classic fleece garments.
The stretch fleece is for all active children who do not want to be restricted in their movement. Smooth outside and brushed inside.
Layer 3
The best tier 3 garment is a shell garment. A shell garment is both windproof and waterproof at the same time as it breathes. When you buy a shell jacket and shell pants, you talk in terms of water column and breathing. Water column is a measurement expressed in mm and shows how much moisture a garment can handle before it gets wet. A garment that has 5000 mm is moderately water resistant, while a garment that has 10,000 mm or more can withstand water very well. Geggamoja's shell clothing has 15,000 mm and resists wetness very well, in addition our shell clothing also has taped seams for best function and quality. A shell garment can be worn all year round and is an important investment for a child's wardrobe.

FAQ - Common Questions About Layering
-
What is layering?
Layering, also known as the three-layer principle, involves dressing your child in multiple layers to protect against cold and rain over extended periods. -
How do you dress using the layering principle?
The innermost layer is a base layer, preferably made of wool, which keeps the body dry and allows it to breathe. The second layer is made of fleece, which insulates and traps air to retain heat. The third layer is protective against moisture, such as shell clothing or rain gear. -
Why should you use the three-layer principle?
It is optimal for spending long days outdoors without being adversely affected by the weather.
