        Garments
        
        Wool
        
        Combination of wicking and water-repelling properties
        
        Expensive
        
        Odour resistant
        
        Merino wool being softer
        
        Synthetic materials
        
        Such as Polyester, Polyethylene, and microfiber-based fabrics are inexpensive.
        
        Excellent water wicking porperties
        
        Can carry specialist finishes, such as anti-bacterial agents with reduce odors, and inspect repellent.
        
        In the absence of suck anti-odour treatment thye quickly become notoriously foul-smelling.
        
        Their hydrophobicity causes them to strogly absorb the short-chain fatty acids that are responsible for body odor.
        
        Silk
        
        Expensive
        
        Comfortable, but less warm, weaker and harder to take care of.

        Usually inexpensive.
        
        Absorbs moisture easily and is slow to dry out.
        
        Loses its insulative abilities and becomes more thermally conductive than other materials when wet or damp.
        
        Suitable for warm temperatures but potentially dangerous for cold and/or wet conditions
      - Mid layer
        
        Provides warmth
        
        Garments
        
        Wool
        
        Traditional mid layer material
        
        Has good insulation even when wet, absorbs moisture but does not feel wet even when it holds significant moisture, and transfers moisture.
        
        Fleece
        
        Made from PETE or other synthetics has many of the features of wool, but is lighter.
        
        Provides good insulation even wet, absorbs very little moisture, and dries quickly.
        
        No longer commonly used in the industrialized world
        
        Down
        
        Has a very good warmth, weight ratio, and can be packed down (squeezed) to take very little room.
        
        Expensive, makes a thick garment, dries slowly, loses its insulating properties when wet or compressed, and stops lofting properly after being washed several times.
        
        Synthetic Fiberfill
        
        Such as polyester fiber is used similarly to down, but does not have as good a warmth : weight ratio
        
        Less expensive, provides better insulation when wet, dries quickly, and absorbs very little moisture.
        
        Cotton
        
        Cheap alternative, but a reasonable choice only when low insulation and misture transfer is needed.
        
        Should be more loose-fitting than the inner layers, this leaves insulating air between the layers.
      - Sell layer
        
        Protects from wind and/or water
        
        Garments
        
        Plastic
        
        Raincoats protect completely from water and wind, but let through no moisture.
        
        So, raincoats usually have flap-covered holes and are very loose-fitting at the bottom to allow air circulation.
        
        Waterproof breathable
        
        They are waterproof and somewhat breathable.
        
        Essential elements is a thin, porous membrane that blocks liquid water, but lets through water vapor (evaporated sweat).
        
        Water Resistant
        
        Generally block water only partially, however as technology in the outdoor industry moves froward more fully waterproof soft shells are emerging.
        
        Usually more breathable and comfortable, thinner, and cheaper than completely water proof materials.
        
        The outermost clothes are called the shell layer.
        
        Ideally the shell layer lets moisture through to the outside (breathable), while not letting wind and water pass through from the outside to inside.
        
        "Soft" shell layer
        
        May rip more easily, but are more flexible.
        
        The term "soft shell" is used to describe garments that combine partial or full water resistance with partial or full wind breaking ability.
        
        "Hard" shell layer
        
        Are commonly woven fabric and do not rip.
    - - Vents
        
        Some clothes feature adjustable vents, such as below armpits.
        
        The positioning and design of the vents allow for specific area cooling while only marginally reducing exterior moisture resistance.
      - Removing Layer
        
        Removing the shell layer during heavy exercise can pose problems if the clothes underneath lack required mechanical strength, using a mid layer with enough of the required shell layer properties can be a good choice.
      - Defining the amount of quality of layers worn should be changed, as the intensity of exercise or environmental conditions change.
    - - In cold climates, where clothing must at the same time transfer moisture, provide warmth, and protect from wind and rain.
      - In hot and dry climates, where clothing must block the radiation from the sun, and allow for sufficient air circulation
      - Optimized for the particular demands of a specific activity.
  - - - Defines to the texture of a cloth that is structurally created at the time of the manufacturing process itself
      - Different yarns interact to create a beautiful texture naturally.
      - The texture effect varies with the types of textiles fibers used in its making, yarn weight, stitch size, and yarn structure.
      - Dress by Comme des Garçon, Vogue Italia, July 1997
    - - Refers to the texture of a textile that is mainly dependant on the finishes applied on it for changing the appearance as well as increasingly its functionality.

    - - Also known as crab cactus, Thanksgiving cactus blooms around the time of the holiday.
      - Continue to bloom into the winter months, needing cooler temperatures to flourish, but must be in a region that does not have frost.

    - - Also known as dutchman's pipe cactus, grows on trees.
      - Native to Brazil and produces large white blooms.
