Why is it better to wear lots of thin layers than one thick layer of clothing when trying to stay warm?

If you put on a really thick jumper on at once it takes a while to get used to the temperature difference so building up the heat is the best way. Plus if you get to hot you can take off a few layers!

Why are several thin layers of clothing better than one thick layer?
thin layers, provided that the clothes are loose-fitting ( with the outer layers being a bit oversized) trap more heat because they provide the space for the heat energy to get trapped.
What are is the clothing of the people in tundra region?
When in the tundra it is important to wear waterproof clothing to protect your body from the ice and snow. Layer waterproof clothing with lined or insulated clothing, such as ski pants or a down parka, to keep your body protected from the elements. Upper body layers: wicking layer, insulated layer, insulated jacket and T-shirt. Lower body layers: wicking layer and wool pants. Specialized layers: wind jacket, wind pants, rain jacket and rain pants.
Why are many layers of clothing better than one layer?
Well for style reasons, layering has always been chic. For warmth reasons if you are going to be somewhere outside or where you don't know how warm or cold it will be you can always remove layers to be comfortable in your environment.
Do layers of insulation have better efficiency?
Yes, layers of insulation will offer better efficiency than one layer. This is because it keeps more heat out and keeps the cool air in.

Why wearing more layers of clothing during winter keep us warmer than wearing just one thick piece of clothing?
The second jumper traps the air. Air is a good insulator. Therefore you feel wamer as the heat can't conduct away as easilyThe reason layers work to keep you warm is they form air pockets in between each layer which is insulated by your body heat. Please note that your first layer ( the on closest to you skin) should be cotton so that if you sweat the layer can take the moisture away from the body. Thus providing more insulation. The top outer layer should be weather proof think wind breaker and water proof. The second layer in should be wool from the top, is it is a good insulation and the fibers should be close together. The more pocket of air you have the more insulation you have, thus the warmer you are. Hope this helps.i think it is because one layer of clothing is a good thermal insulator ( something that protects something from the cold ) so many of them will make you even warmer
