The mid layer insulates while letting excess moisture from the base layer pass through.  Choose thickness of the garment based on weather and your working conditions.

LAyer 3: workwear suitable as outer layer

The outer layer protects against rain, wind and snow out, but lets out evaporating moisture. Choose shell garments or lined garments depending on the weather conditions and the task ahead.
