DRESSING FOR THE COLD
🎄🏂🎄🎄🏂🏂🎄🎄🎄
Holiday time is when some of us head outside, whether to go skating, tobogganing or skiing. Nothing is worst than having cold feet or being cold. I can say I do know about is cold feet, having spent time living in a extreme cold climate with temperatures minus 30s , its one thing i can say is not fun.
We were always out in the winter whether on hikes or skiing. Staying warm and comfortable was very important .
So here are some necessary items that will keep you warm . I should mention if you are out in the cold don't wear your jeans, they really are not warm enough and if get wet your going to be freezing cold.
HEAD to TOE outfit
- SOCKS starting with the feet, a good sock wool mix or other, avoid cotton ones.
- THERMAL wear is next, it helps to keep you warm and dry
- Fleece polar is also great to wear over , whether pants or top , it stays dry, repels water so won't get wet . NOTE just don't stand close to fires as it will melt, especially childrens wear. Fleece pants are great for extreme cold and sleeping in .
- FOOTWEAR my favourite and most warm boots are Sorels, they are made to handle cold temperatures and will stay dry. The liners are removable , so you can dry them over heat.
- PARKAS, down filled is lightweight and warm, other types are those made with GORTEX, a breathable material . layers or zip out liners are also a good choice.
- MITTS , TOGUES & SCARFS
WOOL SOCKS for toasty toes and a good fleece or sweater for added warmth .
THERMALS a definite needed item, under your pants
DOWN PARKAS the ultimate , for warmth , comfort and lightness. A longer version is great for keeping you warmer.
A GREAT PAIR OF SORELS.....definitely.
(I have a similar pair to these)
So now we are ready to head to the great outdoors.
