How to Dress

• Dress in layers.
• Wear a thermal base layer.
• Outer layers should be well insulated and protect you from both water and wind.
• Do not wear jeans!
• Wool and polyester/fleece blends are warmer and drier than cotton.
• Socks should be a wool/polyester blend and not be too bulky.
• Only wear one pair of socks.
• Wear a helmet or warm hat to keep your head warm.
• Gloves or mittens are important. A nylon or leather outer shell will help keep your hands dry and warm.
• Goggles are your best bet to protect your eyes, but a good pair of sunglasses will do on a sunny day.
• Protect yourself from the sun with sun screen in the spring when the temperatures rise.
