LAYERING PALM LAYERING Palm Layering includes five different categories that can be divided into two different systems - the Core and Neo series:
Core garments are made of knit synthetic fabrics for moisture management and temperature regulation across all activity levels. Functional materials ensure rapid wicking, high breathability and quick dry time to keep your body temperature in its comfort zone. We offer a range of different qualities that enable you to chose the right baselayer depending on the temperature and the level of activity.
Our Neo series offers diverse weights of high performance neoprene, providing 100% wind protection and outstanding insulation in wet conditions. Neo fabrics are not breathable and offer no dynamic temperature regulation like our Core series. They are therefore more appropriate for low activity levels in mild to cold conditions, when overheating is not an issue. Neo garments perform particularly well when in full contact with water, be it while swimming, surfing or paddling.

LAYERING VARIATION
TEMPERATURE
Depending on the type of activity, your activity level, weather and water temperatures, the ideal clothing system varies. Each layering garment can be worn as a stand-alone piece or with technical apparel. Particularly in colder conditions, Core layers can be combined for additional thermal insulation.
