If you've had the joy of experiencing the recent heavy fall of snow across the UK, you'll understand the need to keep a supply of warm winter clothing for such unexpected weather conditions.
Here's a list of the basics to ensure you're kept warm during this cold spell
Layering is an important concept to understand
Instead of wearing one heavy jacket, wear layers so you can peel them off when you get warm and start generating sweat. You'll keep moisture from building up. Moisture, or sweat, will contribute to you being cold.
Here are some tips for dressing, whether you're going sledding for a few hours or on a backcountry trek:
Socks: Wool is best. For extra warmth you can start with a pair of light synthetic or silk socks covered with wool socks.
Footwear: Snow boots or heavy-duty, waterproof hiking boots.
First layer: Silk, synthetic or light wool thermals.
Mid-layer: Synthetic fleece (not cotton fleece), or wool sweaters make good insulating layers.
Outer bottom layer: Ski pants or wool pants.
Outer top layer: A ski jacket or wind and waterproof shell jacket is a must for the outer layer.
Gloves: Ski or snowboard gloves or wool mittens work well.
Head gear: Hats are easy. Any ski or snowboard hat works well. Also, make sure you put your safety first if you're heading for the slopes and purchase a ski helmet.
