What is the best thing to wear when hiking in winter

Now there are many mountaineering enthusiasts around us, some of them form teams freely, and some just go on simple mountaineering tours. Because our lives are very stressful now, and we can’t usually release the stress in our hearts, so many people want to release their stress through outdoor sports. However, winter mountaineering requires good preparation, because the temperature difference between the mountain and the foot of the mountain is very large, so you need to understand certain knowledge. After all, winter mountaineering is very cold. So let’s take a look at what is the best thing to wear for winter mountaineering?

Winter mountaineering clothing must adapt to changes in the environment, and there are four environmental factors to consider: altitude, wind speed, humidity, and temperature. Mountaineering clothing must adapt to changes in the environment, and there are four environmental factors to consider: altitude, wind speed, humidity, and temperature. When the human body is in a static environment, less heat is lost.

Underwear: The first layer of underwear: Climbers seldom wear cotton underwear because, although cotton underwear is highly breathable and comfortable, it is also highly absorbent and not easy to dry, so cold and damp underwear will rub against the skin and cause discomfort.

Thermal clothing: Thermal clothing is generally made of woolen long coats and trousers or fleece coats and trousers. Sweaters and pants with a high wool content can provide good warmth and can still keep you warm even when they get wet. The sweaters used for mountaineering are mainly simple and warm, so round-neck pullovers or high-neck pullovers are generally chosen. Thermal insulation filling material: Down jackets and pants are highly warm and compressible, but they lose insulation due to moisture, so the outer fabric should be waterproof, windproof and breathable.

Down jackets have different compartment methods. Single-layer compartment is the simplest and cheapest sewing method. However, since the insulation thickness at the seams is zero, the cold protection effect is not very ideal. The double-layer compartment method takes into account the overall insulation thickness of the clothes and has a good thermal insulation effect. Observing the quality and compartmentation method of down jackets is the key point in choosing down jackets. Since you cannot observe the feathers directly, you can only feel them with your hands. If they feel hard or even extremely rough, they are not as comfortable as you thought.

After reading the above content, we can choose appropriate clothes when hiking in winter, so as not to shiver after reaching the top of the mountain. Winter exercise is actually a very healthy thing. The purpose of going out is to relax. Don't catch a cold and cause some diseases. That would be counterproductive. Therefore, it is necessary to have some knowledge of winter mountaineering.
