On the climb it has to move sweat; warmth for the summit comes out of your pack.
Guide
Kids' touring base layers
Children need free movement uphill and a dry, warm layer for stops. Underwear should fit closely without folds at underarms, waist or inside tall boot cuffs.
Key points
Compare current body measurements with the maker's chart.
Pair light underwear with suitable outer layers for climbing.
Shorter legs keep extra cuffs out of tight boot shafts.
Take dry spare clothing for stops and the return journey.
Bear in mindChildren warm up quickly uphill. Balance underwear with ventilation and outer clothing rather than only the cold at the start.
Cold days
ChooseA warmer wool fabric
Bear in mindMore warmth can feel pleasant at a gentle pace. Add a separate layer over it for stops.
Inside touring boots
ChooseA shorter leg hem
Bear in mindThe hem should finish above the liner. Long socks cover the transition without bulky cuffs inside the boot.
Replacing one piece
ChooseA matching top or bottoms
Bear in mindNot everything needs replacing together. Check warmth, length and overlap with existing underwear.
What to look for
Question
In brief
Why
How much growing room?
In briefAvoid folds
WhyExcess room can create pressure beneath trousers and boots. Measure again and choose the size that fits closely now.
How long is the top?
In briefKeep the back covered
WhyAsk your child to raise their arms and bend forward. The top should stay tucked into the waistband.
How long are the bottoms?
In briefCheck with the boots
WhyShorter legs need suitable long socks. Avoid both a cold gap and bunched fabric at the top of the boot.
How does the fabric feel?
In briefLet your child help choose
WhyWool and synthetic feel different. The fabric should feel comfortable, especially at the neck and arms.
Common questions
Does my child need thick layers uphill?
Plan for pace and weather. A light first layer may be enough with plenty of movement; carry extra warmth for stops. Check during the outing for heavy sweating or feeling cold.
Why are some bottoms shorter?
The hem stays above a tall boot cuff, leaving fewer edges layered inside. Combine them with socks of sufficient height and check the transition with boots on.
Can my child use Nordic base layers?
Yes, if warmth, cut and leg length suit the tour. The fit beneath touring trousers and boots matters more than the sport in the product name. Extra warmth is still needed for stops.
What spare clothing should I pack?
A dry first layer helps if the worn one becomes very damp. Keep spares dry in the pack, separate from wet items. Include a warm layer for quieter periods too.
