​“For ourselves, and for our planet, we must be both strong and strongly connected — with each other, with the earth. As children, we need time to wander, to be outside, to nibble on icicles, watch ants, to build with dirt and sticks in the hollow of the earth, to lie back and contemplate clouds….”

Gary Paul Nabhan & Stephen Trimble, The Geography of Childhood, 2004

    Layers is the name of the game and especially in winter we want to choose clothing that wicks moisture, dries fast, insulates our bodies and is waterproof and breathable.

    The 3 Basic Layers: The base layer – the layer next to your skin. Avoid cotton – synthetic and merino wool fabrics work best. They dry quickly. When it’s really cold, it’s common to wear 2 base layers: a lightweight or middle weight layer, then a thicker heavyweight layer. The middle layer – keeps you warm! Fleece or microfleece shirts/pants, and jacket (a goose down jacket or similar).

    The outer layer –  This is your water- and windproof layer and is breathable. Think Gore-Tex, or other polyurethane-coated fabrics with vents (core/underarm) that help release heat. Remember snow pants as well! There is no need to go with expensive gear – check out the local thrift shops too!
