If you dress your child according to the layer-on-layer principle, also known as the 3-layer principle, you and your little one will always be ready for playful adventures. Your child will be warm during the coldest winter days, but also cool in the spring heat because your child can easily open a garment or take off a layer. Here we explain what the layer-on-layer principle means and why we, like many others, believe that it is the best way to dress your child during cold days.

Layer 1

The child should wear a garment closest to the body that is warm and comfortable. At the beginning of the season, it can be bamboo clothing, but when it gets colder, wool is a good choice. Wool keeps you warm 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 you should wear wool clothes?

Temperature regulating
Soft on the skin
Does not smell
Does not need to be washed often
Free from chemicals

Layer 2

Once Layer 1 is on, it's time for the middle layer - Layer 2. A fleece set or a wind fleece jacket is a perfect middle layer. Fleece is a garment that warms and keeps your child dry. Fleece is made from recycled polyester, which comes from recycled plastic bottles and leftover materials from textile production.

Fleece clothing comes in several different varieties:

Thinner fleece - is easiest to adapt to, for example, shell clothing and winter clothing.
Wind fleece - also withstands wind if you want to use it as a jacket in spring and autumn. But warms just as well under a shell jacket.
Teddy Pile fleece - is a thicker fleece that is super cozy as a jacket during the fall, it resists wind better than classic fleece garments.
Stretch fleece - is for all active children who don't want to be restricted in their movement. Smooth outside and brushed inside.

Layer 3

After layers 1 & 2, it's time for layer 3. A shell garment is both windproof and waterproof while also being breathable, which makes it a perfect garment as layer 3. When you buy a shell jacket and shell pants, you talk in terms of water column and breathability. 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 handle water very well. Geggamoja's shell clothing has 15,000 mm and resists moisture very well, in addition, our shell clothing also has taped seams for the best function and quality. A shell garment can be worn all year round and is an important investment for a child's wardrobe.

How do you adjust layer 3 to the weather?
Shell clothing - Wind and light rain
Rainwear - More persistent rain or lots of puddles
Winter clothing - In chilly temperatures
