A simple system. A science of comfort.
Before going into detail, a quick reminder: fast, clear.
Layering is the art of applying three complementary layers:
- a base layer that manages moisture and keeps the skin dry,
- A mid-layer that retains heat without trapping it.
- a shell that protects from the wind, the rain, the outside world.
Three layers. Three roles.
One single objective: to allow you to move around in winter without getting cold, without overheating, without being uncomfortable .
A simple balance, but one that changes everything.
Because winter is not the enemy.
He's just demanding. (A little sharp and a little unpredictable, okay 😅)
The kind of season that tests you as soon as you open the door.
But with the right equipment, everything changes.
Layering then becomes that little magic system that transforms an impossible outing into a controlled moment.
And at Wilma, we designed it especially for you…
1. The base layer — the layer that knows your skin
Thin, soft, breathable.
The first layer is invisible, but it fixes everything.
It manages perspiration, accommodates overheating, and stabilizes temperature when the effort changes pace.
With merino wool, it's even simpler:
- natural thermoregulation, uncompromising softness
- a fiber that accompanies your phases: follicular, luteal, without ever betraying you.
- A second skin, which knows exactly what to do, exactly when it needs to be done.
Ps: a word of advice, stay Tuned…
2- The mid-layer — well-controlled heat
Here, we're talking about that layer that retains heat without trapping you inside.
The one that doesn't add bulk but provides that reassuring, soft, controlled comfort.
At Wilma's, two pieces do this better than anyone else:
⭐ Billie , the jersey that breathes like a smart mid-layer
Ultra stretch, breathable and still as technical as ever
Billie warms up, accompanies, keeps pace. He manages the transitions, the restarts, the long rides where the effort rises and falls without warning.
With its technical Italian material (91% polyamide, 9% elastane) which allows for a reliable, flexible, breathable fabric , capable of supporting heat where it is needed, and letting excess escape when the body is active.
All this in a construction designed for use: practical elements, a softness that remains comfortable over time, moisture management that avoids the dreaded "cold snap" after intense effort.
⭐ Marlow , the premium option for challenging outings
Whether running or trail running, a mid-layer must adapt to changes in pace and rapidly evolving conditions. Marlow is designed for these moments: a structured second skin that regulates movement without ever restricting it.
Its ultra-soft material moves with you, ventilates when the effort increases, and retains just the right amount of heat when it gets cold.
The tailored fit and understated finishes allow you to stay focused on what matters most: your stride, your breathing, your run.
Marlow is the precise and reliable mid-layer for demanding outings.
The one that keeps you in your zone, so you can perform.
3 - The Shell: the barrier against the elements
Is the wind biting? Is rain threatening? Is the cold setting in without warning?
The shell is there to lock down the entire system.
Its role: to block what comes from the outside while allowing what happens inside to live.
Windproof, waterproof, breathable: the delicate balance that allows you to stay in motion without feeling confined.
An essential trio to stay active, mobile and confident.
Our Carlotta jacket will be perfect here:
Thanks to Zero Wind technology , this winter jacket is both waterproof and windproof . It creates a reliable barrier against the elements without ever restricting your movement. Its warm and breathable technical fleece lining adds that layer of comfort that makes all the difference on long or exposed outings.
Sleek design, maximum protection, impeccable performance in cold, wind and rain.
Why is layering even more crucial for women?
Because our bodies do not remain constant.
They move, fluctuate, oscillate to the rhythm of the cycle, fatigue, stress, mental load.
→ Body temperature differs depending on the phases of the cycle.
→ Sensitivity to cold is more pronounced at certain times of the month.
→ Need for increased breathability during other periods.
Layering allows you to do precisely that:
adjust, refine, listen to what your body is telling you, without ever forcing it.
It's technical, yes.
But above all, it's intelligent , adaptable , and profoundly liberating .
Now that you know how to equip yourself…
We suggest you go a little bit further, if you want to learn how to train properly in winter, how to manage intensity, motivation and sessions in the cold.
The Wilma Gang Talk Show returns on December 15th with the theme “Working out in winter” ✨
We wish you wonderful outings this winter 💜
