What to wear -
Clothing must provide protection from both the cold and the wind. Bring several layers for warmth. Make sure you have sufficient clothing to cover all exposed skin.
You will need:
- Insulated boots with thick wool or synthetic socks
- Warm gloves with a nylon shell
- Goggles
- A scarf or face mask
- A warm hat
- Nylon pants and jacket to keep the wind out
- Several layers for warmth (Synthetic clothing will keep you warm, even as you perspire. Avoid cotton, as it will not keep you warm when it becomes wet.)
- Helmet, if you have one
