SnowmDressing
Right
With high tech winter wear and proper
layering, winter comfort is easy. Start with polypropylene and thermal under
layers that releases moisture whil retaining heat. Add other heat retentive
layers depending on the temperature. Also consider the fact that your forward
motion will add to the wind-chill factor. Avoid cottons and sweat shirts which
retain moisture, making you cold and clammy which leads to
hypothermia.
Good snowmobile wear contains
materials that retain heat, release moisture and resist both water and wind.
Even better try to find suits that are water and wind proof. Consider wearing a
buoyant snowmobile suit if you plan on traveling across ice as they will assist
to keep you afloat but most of all help to protect you against hypothermia.
Snowmobile suits should have reflective trim for night visibility. Carry extra
cloting, socks, boot liners and mitts for layering. A helmet and face shield
combat cold and hazards, while waterproof, insulated boots and leather
snowmobile mitts provide warmth and protection.
