If you dress your child according to the layering principle, also known as the three-layer principle, you and your little one will always be ready for playful adventures. Your child will stay warm during the coldest winter days, but also cool in the spring sunshine, as they can easily open a garment or remove a layer. Here, we explain what the layering principle means and why, like many others, we believe it is the best way to dress your child on cold days.
Layer 1
The layer closest to the body should be a garment that is warm and comfortable. At the beginning of the season, bamboo clothing may be suitable, but when it gets colder, wool is a good choice. Wool keeps you warm even when it becomes damp or wet.
When buying wool clothing, you should choose mulesing-free wool, which means the animals are treated ethically. Our wool clothing is Öko-Tex certified.
Why should you use wool clothing?
Temperature-regulating
Soft against the skin
Does not smell
Does not need to be washed often
Free from chemicals
Layer 2
Once Layer 1 is on, it is time for the mid-layer—Layer 2. A fleece set or a wind fleece jacket is a perfect mid-layer. Fleece is a garment that keeps your child warm and dry. Fleece is made from recycled polyester, which comes from recycled plastic bottles and leftover materials from textile production.
Fleece clothing is available in several different varieties:
Thinner fleece - is easiest to adapt to shell clothing and winter clothing, for example.
Wind fleece - also protects against wind if you want to use it as a jacket in spring and autumn. But it keeps you just as warm under a shell jacket.
Teddy Pile fleece - is a thicker fleece that is super cosy as a jacket in autumn, and it resists wind better than classic fleece garments.
Stretch fleece - is for all active children who do not want their movement to be restricted. Smooth outer side and brushed inner side.
Layer 3
After Layers 1 & 2, it is time for Layer 3. A shell garment is both windproof and waterproof while still being breathable, making it the perfect Layer 3 garment. When you buy a shell jacket or shell trousers, people talk in terms of water columns and breathability. The water column is a measurement expressed in mm that shows how much moisture a garment can withstand before it becomes wet. A garment with 5000 mm is moderately water-resistant, while a garment with 10,000 mm or more handles water very well. Geggamojа's Shell clothing has a rating of 15,000 mm and provides excellent protection against moisture. In addition, our Shell clothing has taped seams for the best performance and quality. A shell garment can be worn all year round and is an important investment for your child’s wardrobe.
How do you adapt Layer 3 to the weather?
Shell clothing - Wind and light rain
Rainwear - More persistent rain or lots of puddles
Winter clothing - In cold temperatures
Our range includes trousers and jackets for slightly older children. For the youngest children, we instead offer a practical one-piece suit that does not leave gaps or ride up.
All outerwear is treated with Bionic Finish Eco, the most environmentally friendly treatment on the market.
