1. Brand Winter Hat - Cold Weather Camping Wear
When going camping during the winter season, you need to be appropriately dressed to keep the harsh
weather at bay. The rule of thumb is to keep warm and dry. Your choice of clothing should be those that
dry quickly, wick moisture, breathable. Waterproof, and insulated. By simply adjusting the layers, you can
ensure that your body temperature is regulated to the levels you are comfortable in. The three layers that
your clothing ought to have are:
The base layer, which is the inner wear next to your skin, should be made from merino wool and synthetic
fabric (do not wear underwear made from cotton). These materials wick perspiration to the outer layers
enabling it to evaporate. They also dry quickly which means you will not spend hours in wet clothing. If
you are snow camping, wear two base layers one light and the other midweight and top off with a layer
that is heavyweight.
The middle layer offers insulation to your body and
is designed to help it retain heat. Consider wearing
micro fleece or expedition-weight fleece pants,
shirts, and jacket and a goose down jacket.
The shell or outer layer is the breathable layer that
is both wind and water proof. For premium
protection, wear clothing that has laminate or
alternatives that are less expensive such as fabrics
that are polyurethane-coated which offer equal
amounts of water proof though less breathable. Go
for underarm and core vents that offer maximum
expulsion of moisture and heat. When taking a
break, wear a layer to prevent your body from
cooling off too much; your body will be forced to
work double hard to regain warmth.
Winter boots are another essential requirement and
for maximum grip wear mountaineering or winter boots that are both insulated ad waterproof. If
snowboarding or skiing, wear the appropriate boots. You can warm your insoles and socks by placing
them inside your sleeping bag throughout the night.
Other key accessories include:
Hats: Your head is an exit point of a large percentage of your body’s heat. If you are a sports fan you can
go for a brand winter hat. You can also go for a simple knit beanie hat that covers your ears.
Mittens and glove are a must have and an extra pair or two are necessary in case they get wet.
2. Gaiters are another must for deep snow as they prevent the water and snow from seeping into your
boots. Use gaiters that are breathable and waterproof.
Glasses and googles will help in protecting your eyes against the wind and sun. These come in various
lens tints for the different weather conditions.
Socks: A snug, thin layer followed by a second synthetic or merino wool layer should be worn. Your boot
fit will determine the thickness of the second layer of socks. Carry an extra layer of socks with you.
