Winter Weather Attire

• Dress warmly in loose-fitting, layered, lightweight clothing. Outer garments should be tightly woven, water repellent and natural wool, if possible.
• Wear a hat. More than half of body heat is lost through the top of the head.
• Wear mittens that are snug at the wrist. Mittens offer better protection than, gloves which allow your fingers to cool much faster.
• Cover your mouth and nose with a scarf to help protect lungs from cold air.
• Attempt to keep your feet as dry as possible. Wear wool socks.
