Why Is Clothing an Issue? Humans can’t normally survive in low temperatures Weather in the mountains is particularly fickle –Temperature –Precipitation –Wind Your activity level varies throughout the day –Active –Resting –Sleeping

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

A more human equivalent...

Cotton Kills

Wicking Layer Moves moisture away from skin Silk Polypropylene Polyester Blends (Spandex, Lycra) Expensive = Less smelly...

Insulating Layer Prevents conductive heat loss Fleece - light, water-resistant, medium bulk Wool - bulky, scratchy, water resistant, heavy Down - light, compressible, NOT water-resistant Lots of bang for the buck...

Soaking Test Cotton sweater vs. Polyester Fleece Sweater Which one would you rather wear? To test any item of clothing for winter worthiness, see how it feels after you take it out of the washing machine. (exception: down)

Shell Layer Wind and/or Water Barrier Nylon Coated nylon Gore-Tex GT clones (Triple Point, MemBrain, System III, etc) Your best friend in NH...

Accessories Little Stuff That Matters Mittens & Gloves (layering) Hats, balaclavas, neck gaiters Socks (single vs. two layer) Gaiters Goggles

Footwear Mouse boots Sorels Leather hiking boots Plastic boots You will encounter ankle deep mud, slush, and water. Sneakers and Gore-tex hiking boots don’t cut it.

$$$$$ Clothing is not something MITOC rents, so you’ll have to get it on your own. Get stuff that fits and that can last you for a while. It can be found cheaply, if you look. Check out the MITOC Links page for info on local stores and places to get stuff…or go to the following link:
