Helpful Hints to Stay Warm
3-layer approach
- Insulating (middle layer that keeps the cold out and warmth in)
- Protection (exterior layer to guard against elements)
Good
- Loose Insulating layer allowing a full range of movement
- Long underwear & footless tights
- Wool or acrylic socks
- Goggles. Wearing eye protection with UV
Bad
- Cotton. It will absorb sweat and make you shiver.
- Bulky insulating layer
- Wearing more than one pair of socks can lead to unwanted blisters, restrict circulation and result in cold feet.
- Long scarves
