With high tech
winter wear and proper layering, winter comfort is easy. Start with polypropylene
and thermal under layers that releases moisture while retaining heat. Add other
heat retentive layers depending on the temperature. Also consider the fact that
your forward motion will add to the wind-chill factor. Avoid cottons and sweat
shirts which retain moisture, making you cold and clammy which leads to hypothermia.
Good snowmobile wear contains materials that retain heat, release moisture and
resist both water and wind. Even better try to find suits that are water and
wind proof. Consider wearing an buoyant snowmobile suit if you plan on traveling
across ice as they will assist to keep you afloat but most of all help to protect
you against hypothermia. . Snowmobile suits should have reflective trim for
night visibility. Carry extra clothing, socks, boot liners and mitts for layering.
A helmet and face shield combat cold and hazards, while waterproof, insulated
boots and leather snowmobile mitts provide warmth and protection.
