Layering for Harmattan Mornings

Layering for Harmattan Mornings

Three thin layers, shed in reverse — dressing for a harmattan day.

Harmattan mornings start cool and end hot. The trick is three thin layers, not one thick one.

The order

Tee, overshirt, jacket. Shed in reverse as the day warms. The Jasper and the Rainier were designed for exactly this.

Fabric matters

Cotton breathes when the afternoon hits. Avoid synthetics against the skin and you will stay comfortable past noon.

Pack the shed layer; evenings cool fast again.
