COLD WEATHER CLOTHING for X-C SKIING, HIKING, JOGGING

DEPENDING ON HOW VIGOROUSLY YOU WILL BE X-C SKIING OR HIKING YOU WOULD DO WELL TO DRESS SIMILAR TO THAT WHICH YOU WOULD WEAR RUNNING OUTDOORS DURING THE WINTER. THE KEY IS TO WEAR LAYERS AND AVOID OVERHEATING (WARMTH/BREATHABILITY THROUGH LAYERING).

THE VIGOROUS X-C SKIER/HIKER WHO MOVES CONSTANTLY WHILE MAKING A FEW SHORT STOPS IF ANY, WILL KEEP WARM BY PRODUCING HIS/HER OWN BODY HEAT. THIS SKIER/HIKER WILL WEAR A MINIMUM OF LAYERS.
THE LESS ACTIVE SKIER WILL WEAR MORE LAYERS OF INSULATING CLOTHES TO KEEP WARM. WHEN THIS PERSON STARTS TO OVERHEAT A LAYER OR TWO SHOULD BE REMOVED. THE IDEA IS TO AVOID OR REDUCE THE OCCURRENCE OF BODY MOISTURE NEXT TO THE SKIN WHICH TAKES AWAY HEAT FROM THE BODY AND REDUCES THE INSULATING ABILITY OF FABRICS.

THE FOLLOWING IS A COLD WEATHER CLOTHING LIST SHOWING THE LAYERS AND SUGGESTIONS ON HOW THEY SHOULD BE WORN. THIS LIST GOES FROM HEAD TO TOE AND FROM NEXT TO THE SKIN TO THE OUTSIDE LAYER.
