Cold Out

I'm going to point out the obvious- it's cold out. But that shouldn't stop you from getting outside, providing you dress correctly.

Here are my super obvious tips:
- cover all exposed skin
- that includes your eyes
- that includes your face
- wear a warm and windproof hat
- maybe wear a light weight hat UNDER your warm windproof hat
- a wicking base layer (wool is my choice)
- a warm mid layer (fleece, wool sweater)
- a down jacket
- MITTENS- again down
- wool socks
- boots THAT FIT

Now go have fun, take breaks- but when you do strip down quickly once inside so you don't sweat and then have wet gear.

Now go have fun.
