What are the base and mid layers?

#TeachingsTuesdays

In general, layering has two parts—base and mid. Functionally, both of these layers do the same job, i.e., to regulate your body temperature. However, the former lies close to your skin and is also accountable for wicking the sweat from your body. On the other hand, the latter falls between the outermost and innermost layers of your clothing. 

Depending on the weather, the fabric of these layers changes. For example, men prefer cotton layers in the summer and fleece or wollen layers in the winter.
