It’s hard to enjoy the winter when you’re cold. Follow these steps to stay warm and enjoy being outside this winter.

1. Good Base Layer – These are my two favorites.

SmartWool Thermal Long Underwear-Merino 250 Base Layer-tops and bottoms

Hot Chillys Base Layer – Hot Chillys Peppers Bi-Ply Base Layer-tops and bottoms

2. Mid Layer Top – A sweatshirt or fleece top like these:

The North Face Powder Guide Midlayer

32 Degrees – FAUX CASHMERE PULLOVER WITH SHERPA LINING

3. Mid Layer Bottoms – Either snow pants or lined windproof pants.

Klim Transition Pant

Swix Lillehammer Pants

The North Face – Powder Guide Pants

4. Socks – SmartWool hands done are my favorite socks. All styles.

SmartWool PhD Ski Light Socks

SmartWool PhD Ski Medium Socks

5. Shoes

Bogs – Classic Ultra High Insulated Boots

Sorels – Women’s Winter Carnival or Women’s Caribou Boot

6. Hat – Any hat is better than no hat.  I have many, but here are the two warmest.

The North Face – Women’s Fuzzy Earflap Beanie

Carhartt – Acrylic Watch Hat

7. Gloves

The North Face-Denali Thermal Etip Glove

Dakine – Sequoia Insulated Mittens – Don’t underestimate the warmth of mittens. I swear they keep your hands warmer, especially when you drop a Hot Hands hand warmer in them.

8. Scarf – The multi use miracle warmer 🙂 Cover your neck, face, or ears. Don’t leave home without one.

Pistil-Frenchi Infinity Scarf (check out their hats as well)

9. Hot Hands – Hand and foot warmers. These stay warm for up to 8 hours and are a lifesaver.

Hot Hands

Now, Go. See. Do.
