I'm going on a hike and the weather is cold, how should I dress?

When hiking, it is important to dress in layers. As you hike, your body will heat up, and you will want the flexibility to remove layers accordingly. They layers should consist of a base layer to wick away sweat, an insulating layer to help retain body heat, and an outer layer to shield from rain or wind. You should also consider weather like snow or rain as this may change what you need to bring.
