Intro | THE CRAFT PRINCIPLE
The Craft
Principle
An intensive training session will result in the body producing a considerable amount of
sweat. This is just how it should be and a confirmation that you are pushing your limits.
If you are not wearing functional clothes, the sweat will remain in place and block the
pores, causing your body heat to rise. Eventually the clothes will turn into a damp, cold and
heavy “envelope”, relentlessly hampering your performance. If you are wearing functional
clothes, however, the skin will stay dry and you will be able to perform at an ideal working
temperature. Craft’s functional clothes, in up to three layers, create a perfect microclimate
and provide the basis for optimal performance. Each layer is equally important and
complements the rest of the chain..

Baselayer
Baselayer that efficiently transports moisture away from the skin and distributes
it on the outside of the garment, where it either evaporates or is passed on to the
next layer. For optimal performance and comfort, craft baselayer should always be
worn underneath your outer layers, regardless of weather conditions.
Midlayer
Craft midlayer provides insulation and warmth while transporting moisture and
excess heat to the next layer or into the surrounding air. When the thermometer
creeps downward, this layer enables you to retain valuable body heat without
reducing your freedom of movement.
Protection Layer
The third and outermost layer is your shield against the elements and provides
comfort and performance no matter the conditions. Transcending the laws of
logic, craft protection layer protects against rain, wind and cold at the same time as
it releases surplus heat and moisture from the layers underneath.
