What Experts Say About Us
Elemental Layer is really helping me keep my body dry after long hikes in the backcountry, so I can focus on skiing without freezing.
I love the Elemental Layer. I used to ALWAYS change into a separate dry base layer (for example for downclimbing once I reached the peak), but with the Elemental layer this is not necessary anymore.
I love the finetrack layers! They have been a game changer for my comfort and confidence!
Using it for Climbing, Ice Climbing, Backcountry Skiing in all weather conditions (Temp. -30℃ to -5℃, Elevation 1500-3500m). It keeps my body dry and comfortable in situations where I am forced to stay still after sweating, like belaying or staying overnight after a long approach.
I’ve used my fine track under layer for XC Skiing, Biking, Mountain Running and downhill skiing. I absolutely loved the product! This layer added something I didn't even know I was missing! Now I wear it my for all my activities!
The Elemental layer really helps transport moisture away from your skin and keep you dry. This extra layer next to your skin in this environment doesn't cause overheating, and really helps keep you dry, which is critical to staying warm when your output level drops.
