Colder weather hiking is upon us! Preparing for hiking in colder weather is essential to ensure a safe and enjoyable outdoor experience. Here's a short guide on how to stay warm on the trails:
Layer Up: Dress in layers to trap heat effectively. Start with a moisture-wicking base layer to keep sweat away from your skin, add an insulating layer for warmth, and finish with a waterproof and windproof outer layer to protect against the elements.
Warm Accessories: Don't forget warm accessories like a beanie, gloves, and a scarf or neck gaiter. These help retain heat and keep extremities cozy.
Proper Footwear: Invest in insulated and waterproof hiking boots to keep your feet warm and dry. Wear moisture-wicking socks to prevent sweat buildup, which can lead to cold feet.
Know the Weather: Check the weather forecast and be aware of any potential storms or severe drops in temperature. Plan your hike accordingly, and be prepared to turn back if conditions worsen.
Stay Dry: Moisture can lead to rapid heat loss. Use waterproof gear, like a rain jacket and pants, to stay dry. Consider gaiters to keep snow out of your boots.
