Clothing
Wearing the appropriate clothing is crucial in winter activities. Clothing that is ineffective in protecting you from harsh winter elements can result in you getting frostbite or hypothermia. For the best protection, your outdoor winter clothing should consist of:
Base Layer
These can be long-johns, long underwear, etc. A strong base layer is the foundation of effective winter protection. This layer will help to regulate your body temperature and sweating while also keeping your body insulated.
Mid Layer
An effective mid-layer acts as a warm insulator to keep you warm. This layer should be a warmer material such as cotton or fleece.
Outer Layer
This layer acts as a shell or barrier between you and the elements. Outer layers are most effective when designed to be fully waterproof or windproof, ensuring you’re protected from wind, snow, and rain.
