Document Summary
Cold weather exercise tip: how to layer clothing: a) explain what layering means. Wearing more than one piece of clothing in a specific combination is called layering. First layer is the base layer- it wicks moister and perspiration away from your skin to keep you dry and warm. Second layer is the mid layer- it insulates you and keeps you warm. Last layer is the outer layer- it allows moisture to escape while blocking the wind and water from getting in: a) list good sources of material recommended for base layer clothing. The mid layer materials can consist of polyester, fleece, wool and newer synthetic/natural blends: list what the outer layer should include. The outer layer should include shells made of gore-tex or a similar material. They should have pit zips, ankle zippers, and a variety of other ventilation options. They should also be tough enough to withstand tears and abrasions.
