What to wear:
The key to dressing properly is
to layer your clothing. In cold or wet
weather, three layers are ideal:
1. Breathable
wicking layer against your skin, to transport perspiration and other
moisture away from your skin;
2. Warming layer next, to absorb moisture and keep you warm;
3. Waterproof and windproof layer on the outside
Wear a synthetic layer closest to your skin to wick away moisture from perspiration.
Cotton soaks up moisture and doesn't
dry readily, leaving its wearer wet and chilly when activity cools or when
the wind picks up. When you stay cold and wet in adverse conditions, you
can suffer hypothermia.
