Why Is Clothing an Issue? Lopped off fingers are relatively minor on the spectrum of quality-of-life reducing deformities You TOO can get some, right here in the Northeast!

Why clothing is tricky Weather conditions will change throughout the day Temperature Precipitation Wind Your activity level will change throughout the day Moving Hard Moving Easy Resting Sleeping

Your Clothing Must… Keep trapped warm air next to you Protect you from wind and precipitation Keep you as dry as possible (wicking) Be a flexible layering system Keep you warm even when wet

Cotton Kills Absorbs water like a sponge Water is slow to evaporate Fibers shrink when wet; ability to trap air and thus insulate is lost Poor wind protection

Cotton Kills (Part II) Wet Materials Comparison wool fleece naked Steve Howard, LANL

Clothing must be Versatile! Dress like an onion YOU Wicking Layer Warm Insulating Layer Shell Layer Cold

Shell Layer: Wind and/or Water Barrier Components Goggles Jacket Gloves/Mittens Pants/Bibs Gaiters Boots Materials Nylon (Wind) Coated nylon (Water) Gore-Tex and related fabrics

Insulating Layer: Think volume Components Hat + Balaclava Jacket or Sweater Gloves/Mittens Pants Socks Materials Fleece light, water resistant, medium bulk Wool bulky, scratchy, water resistant, heavy Down light, compressible, NOT water-resistant Synthetic Fill

Wicking Layer: Moves moisture away from skin Components T-Shirt Liner Gloves Pants/Tights Liner Socks Materials Silk Polypropylene (Cool-Max, Capilene) Polyester Spandex, Lycra more expensive = less smelly...

Effectively Using your Clothing Maintain warm skin temperature Remove layers if sweating! Add layers if freezing! Anticipate condition changes Add layers before a windy section Remove layers before going up a hill Use zippers and vents to create intermediate levels of warmth Bring extra insulating layers in case!

$$$$$ MITOC doesn’t rent clothing Get items that fit well and will last MITOC webpage has links for finding gear on a budget More on this later in the Cheap Gear presentation
