Dressing for Cold Weather

Ghoulish Delight · 01-31-2011, 07:00 PM

I had a pair of thermals with me that I found entirely unnecessary. Not that it was uber-cold (never got below 30), but it would have had to have been a fair bit colder for me to bother with the thermals if I wasn't going to spend more than 5 minutes at a time outside.

But then, they don't take up much space, so if it's threatening to get appreciably below freezing, might not be a bad idea to bring them just in case.

How long are you planning to be outside?

For me the key is extremities.

Extra warm socks, gloves, and a nice fleece hat that covers the ears.

Add nice warm coat (preferably wind resistant) and you are good to go.
