What do I wear in 5 - 20 degree weather?

Question

I will be in Montana and Wyoming next week. Any tips?

Answer 1

If you're out in 5-20 degree Fahrenheit, it depends somewhat on what activity you'll be involved in and whether or not there's a wind chill.

Certainly layer up and layer so that you can open up some layer(s) to ventilate (perspiration). You don't want to get wet/damp; damp clothing wicks away body heat.
DEFINITELY WEAR SOME HEADGEAR. (The rationale here is that the head radiates a tremendous of body heat to its surrounds, because as a vital organ its blood supply won't be curbed.) The headgear comes off easily too, to let you cool down to avoid sweating. Goose down garments are superior by virtue of weight and insulating qualities, but they areN'T very functional when wet; and they usually are difficult to clean.

Answer 2

20 Degree Weather Clothing

Answer 3

Are you going to be spending a lot of time outdoors? This answer is assuming you are. As opposed to one heavy and thick layer, wear multiple thin outer layers. Wear something like fleece as the layer closest to your body and the outer layer should be a thin windbreaker. Depending on your tolerance to cold, you may need other layers, too. Wear long underwear (top and bottom) under your clothes and outerwear. And obviously, always wear a hat and gloves to protect you from frostbite. The temperature is less of the problem and more so the wind. 5-20 is not really that cold, but the windchill could be much lower and brutal. That's how it is where I live. Windchills commonly go below -20.

It's all in about the layers, hommie! start with a lyer of thermals (long johns) put on your regular clothes, like T-shirts and jeans, then a layer of fleece, then something water proof if you're in the snow. A nice cushy stuffed jacket that's wind proof, some snow boarding pants.

then, you can use my old family "mexican snow boot" technique to keep the snow out of your shoes: Use a plastic bag that you would get at a grocery store in produce, wear a sock, then the plastic, then another sock, this keeps your feet dry in the snow!

If there's no snow, then make sure you just double up your socks!

stay toasty, hommie!
