I agree with OregonMouse, the easiest is to have the same clothes both summer and winter. In summer here in Norway it may too get cold, so one must be prepared for that also.

Before I found Brynje useful I always used thin wool close to my body, and softshell or hardshell on top according to the actual weather. Now in winter I just use Brynje Super Thermo under and softshell over that.

In summer its just the Brynje if it is not a lot of mosquitos, it is amazingly warm and airy. In winter the Brynje is good because it has good wicking properties and when you stop there is a layer of air next to your body so you do not feel wet. For me this is essential, 'cause I sweat a lot.

On my last winter trip that I've posted pictures from, this is all I had for four of the five days.(brynje + softshell) Winds were moderate 5m/s and temp around 0C. The last day had such hard winds that it was hard to walk against it. Aprox. 15m/s (33 miles/h) and about -10C. Then I had an extra thin layer of wool and a hardshell instead of a softshell jacket.

Brynje is also wery light, thoug I have'nt put it on a scale. I like the product so much that I use it for everyday use also. So far (two years use) only one sleeve has a damage where the watch has stuck to it. Those who want light and warm underclothes should try it, at least those that sweat like me. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />
