Cold Weather Training Tips
Dressing to stay warm
- Don't wear cotton
- Dress in layers - with zippers if possible. Outer shell and inner fleece should have front zippers to open up as you warm up.
By temp range
20 to 32 degrees - Sweat pants, inner long sleeve training t-shirt, outer shell, thin hat (like snowboarders wear under the helmet), thin gloves
5 to 20 degrees – add long underwear under the sweat pants, maybe an outer mitten.
-10 to 5 degrees – Add outer loose snow pants, full winter fleece & shell, outer mittens over the inner thin gloves.
-20 to -10 - add skiers face shield depending on the wind.
Below -20 - just not fun anymore, wait till tomorrow.
