Abstract

Participation in outdoor activities can improve mental, physical and social well-being. Such activities also present significant physiological strain and risks such as hypothermia; therefore, correct choice and usage of clothing is extremely important. The aim of this review is to critically analyse the literature regarding outdoor clothing systems, focusing on the layers comprising a typical clothing system. Additionally, alternative systems, potential improvements and future trends are discussed.
